Hi.. I'm Jeff from Kekal.. I have a news for you..

Just recently, I got a message from Azhar Levi that he decided to leave Kekal.. I am not in the position to tell you what the reason is, but it was nothing inter-personal, we remain friends and respect his decision in this case..

Without Levi, Kekal will never be the same again.. His departure from Kekal closed a book of ours.. But it will not stop Kekal as a musical unit.. Life is about moving forward, and Kekal reflects our lives with all the bitterness and struggles.. So to speak, both Leo and I have agreed to continue with the name, and to keep the legacy.. Kekal should be "kekal" in its literal meaning, and disbanding Kekal is totally out of question..

"Audible Minority" marks as the final album from the first era of Kekal, a 14 years era that now has been closed with the departure of Levi.. We are now moving forward into the new era of Kekal and start over again from page one.. As soon as all things left behind have been sorted-out, Kekal will be resurrected with an entirely new focus, new approach, new musical direction, and new vision!

We wish Levi a best of luck on his ventures, and will remember all those years with him..

Thank you and see you again later in all NEW everything! More news coming.. Stay tuned!
