Career

Killing Me Inside was formed in June 2005 by Josaphat Klements (guitar), Onadio Leonardo (bass), Rendy (drums) and Raka Cyril Damar [1] (guitar). After a search for a vocalist, the band found Fauzan "Sansan", who joined in December 2005. While performing at local cafes & events, they released a three-song demo. The songs included were "A Letter Of Memories", "Suicide Phenomena", & "The Tormented". These were later re-recorded for their debut album.

Before they released the debut album, the band announced on My Space that Raka had left the band due to a conflict of interest with other bands Vierra (now Vierratale) in May 2008.

Their debut album, A Fresh Start for Something New, was officially released on January 2, 2009 through Fast Youth Records.

Not long after the release of the debut album, Sansan left the group to focus on his other band Pee Wee Gaskins. Rendy also left around this time to consider his future. In February 2009, the band announced their new formation, which consisted of Onadio (vocal), Josaphat (guitar), Davi Frisya (drum) & Agung Wahyu Dewantoro (bass).

The band later featured Sansan as keyboardist & new member Rudye Nugraha Putra on bass. Agung Wahyu Dewantoro ultimately left the band due to incompatibility with the other members.
