According to The Malaysian Reserve, Slam, along with the 1990s Malaysian band, Exists, is well known in Malaysia. There is an early connection between the two bands. Musician Shah was a guitarist in Exists. He left the band in 1991 and later went on to form Slam with musicians Lili, Man, Eddie, and Zamani. Slam's hits include "Gerimis Mengundang" and Mentari Muncul Lagi. The band was formed in 1993 in Johor Bharu. Slam is one of the music groups that rose to popularity in the local music scene. Musicians Zamani, Shah, Ajak, Lili, Man & Eddie became well-known after the success of their second album, Kesan Terbukti. This album featured hit songs, with five tracks reaching the top of the music charts in Malaysia and Indonesia, such as "Kembali Terjalin," "Tak Mungkin Berpaling," "Nur Kasih," "Manisnya Rindu," and "Bukan Niat Membalas Derita." They then continued to make strides with other hit songs such as "Jika Kau Rasa Getarnya, Rindiani" and their evergreen track, "Gerimis Mengundang."
Reunion Slam
In 2015, there was good news for Slam fans when the group's leader, Shah, announced that Slam would be reuniting with Zamani, Ajak, Eddie, Lili and Man. They held large-scale concerts, especially the Slam Nur Kasih concert held in Johor Bahru in 2016. Now, they are working hard to make the Slam Revival concert a success which is expected to be held at the end of 2019.[citation needed]
Later years
The band was booked to appear at the Petronas Philharmonic Hall on 8 June 2024. Lead singer Zamani who had spinal surgery was optimistic that the show would take place without any problems. He had successfully performed twice at two major events after the surgery. According to Shah, Zamani had recently done a three-hour performance and everything was fine.[1]
It was reported by the New Straits Times on 15 January 2025 that well-known veteran Malaysian and Singaporean vocalists from popular bands were to appear for the first time together in a concert. The artists were Datuk Nash of Lefthanded, Zamani of Slam, Ameng of Spring, and Jatt Ali of Black Dog Bone were to appear in concert at The Star Theatre in Singapore.[2]
