Nebiula Production 25 Years of Aggression (December 2020)
104 pages, Malay, Pro-printed

The book that documented the history/releases of Nebiula Production from it is form in 1995 to 2020. This is authored by the founder himself: Jaie Jokhannaz (also known with his band Sil Khannaz, in case you need to know).

This hard cover book comes in a slipcase with the content are in full colored glossy paper.

The first page show photo of a Nebula and then start with the biodata of Jaie Jokhannaz with soon followed with the history Nebiula Productions and the sub-projects arises with the creation of this label (Nebiula Heavy Metal Shop, Nebiula Legion Club, Revo Records).

From page 8 starts with the first release of the label; Sil Khannaz’s Pendita Gila mini album with front cover of all editions including the 12”LP version, tracklist and band’s picture. Accompanying these are short history and info (like a 'biodata') of the release. This is what you will find throughout this book for the releases under Nebiula Productions except some release only have 'biodata' of the release.

Reading this is really a flashback of my early years in the scene. Back then "Pendita Gila" cassette EP is less than RM10 (some CD release is less than RM20). This release (for all version) was sold 40,000 copies. But according to this book, the highest selling is "Gerbang Kayangan" by Sil Khannaz however the sales number was not disclosed.

It will be great if some comments from the owner of this label for each of the release either personal or commercial one. Also includes here are releases of Revo Records, gigs Nebiula Prod. have organized. 

It also includes a 15 tracks CD with songs from releases by Nebiula and Revo Records, placed on the last page of this book (really hard to put it back after listening). I noticed Langsuyr song listed here is Tangisan Embun Pagi but the actual song is Seven-Headed Dragon of Pelangi.

The book was last updated on 1/11/2020. Hopefully we can get the next edition since he has revived the label (officially ended their activity in 2017 but start active re-release some their old catalogue with new artwork). Or at least continue with the info on the new re-releases after this book was publishes.

The only drawback is maybe this is only available in Malay (except for liner notes by Burning Twilight on his band's page (Aradia) is in English). But for international reader can still look at the front covers of the releases.
