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.
