It was early in 1992 when guitarist Irvan Sembiring hasdecided to leave Sucker Head, the band that he formedalong with

drum spot).
After three years of playing thrash metal from pub to pub,playing in many art festivals of high schools and college,and also
playing in some underground gigs, finally Irvanfelt no more chemistry with guitarist Nano. Irvan haswanted a more aggressive
and energetic thrash metal of thelikes Kreator and Sepultura, whereas at the time, Nanotended to have a more Iron Maiden
influences. In the end,leaving the band then form another one, was Irvan's bestsolution.
So that's the story, in mid-1992 Rotor was born with thefirst formation consisted of Irvan (guitar/vocals),Bakkar Bufthaim
(drum), Seto (guitar), and Didik (bass).However this formation didn't last for long time, Seto andDidik left the band with only
few weeks of togetherness.Later, Judapran joined the band for bass slot, and thisline-up was where they finally had a
success to releasethe debut Behind The 8th Ball. And also, JodieGondokusumo joined the band as lead vocals (2nd
album onlythat featured Jodie as vocalist). Before Rotor recordingtheir 3rd album Jodie left the band and formed Getah,a
gothic rock/metal band. He passed away in 1997 (?).

In 1998, before Rotor officially disbanded, Bakkar Bufthaimhas decided to leave the band and joined Sucker Head as
thedrummer. This decision due to demise of the late Judapran ascausality of drug overdoses. Therefore in the end,
IrvanSembiring has decided to disband Rotor and declare would notever reunite anymore.
Concerning Irvan Sembiring, after demise of his very closefriend Judapran, he has changed a lots in life attitudeand style.
More religious and all at once seemed starvefor spirituality. This situation is very understandablemoreover he has ever been
an assassination target for fewtimes from the unidentified political group which has killedmany social activis, student
prominent figure, and religiousleader.
However, his music passion never fades out. Alongwith his mate J. Sadrach (Sucker Head) he formed RotorCorpthat
specialized in Indonesia metal underground various artistcompilation called Metal Klinik. Jasad, Tengkorak,Siksakubur, and
Burgerkill, are some notable name that everhad the song included in the compilation.
