Right after Rock the World 4 (Malaysia’s annual rock festival) the band got inspired to cut an album. And after endless effort and all sorts of obstacles, they completed an 11 track album. The recording process took about 4 months (Oct – Dec 2004) to be completed. Thus, In Hating Memory is born. The debut album includes 10 English tracks and 1 Malay language track. The first single Velocity started receiving airplay since June 2005 followed by the second single Chocolate Syrup. Both singles were accompanied by music videos directed by “Motion Notion” and Tan Chee Meng respectively.
More on the album, the band was very fortunate as they had a chance to work with two dedicated engineers, Mr. Norman Rashid and Mr. Eduardo Garcia. Mr. Norman did the recording sessions and is very experienced as he has work with many pop Malay artists. Mr. Garcia however hails from Colombia, temporarily in Malaysia, finalized the mixing and mastering, and has exceptional talent and even a Latin Grammy nominee to his name.
A little more on the video Chocolate Syrup, the video received heavy airplay as the video had a different storyline to it, compared to other cliché rock videos. It was shot and directed by Tan Chee Meng, a local music producer/video director (the list goes on!). The band wanted a whole new concept for the video compared to the common rock videos.
These are just some of the newspaper reviews by Malay Mail and New Sunday Times.
With a bit more diversity in the music arrangement, providing more variety between tracks, Estranged could well be an undiscovered Malaysian gem.
TERRINA HUSSEIN, THE MALAY MAIL, 15th JUNE 2005
Estranged’s approach may seem middle ground, but there’s still plenty of anger, as evident with plenty songs on “In Hating Memory” being about tough times.
ADLIN ROSLI, NEW SUNDAY TIMES, 26th JUNE 2005
Mid 2006, Rich controversially decides to participate in Malaysia’s most watched reality program Akademi Fantasia (12 contestants are taken into a house where the location is kept as a secret from the public and their lives would be broadcasted on satellite TV. Contestants will be judged based on their personality, singing capabilities and other skills. Week by week, one contestant will be eliminated). Rich happened to be the very first contestant to be in a band which was active in the local underground scene. However, Rich did not finish as the champion of the reality show but it later then came as a surprise to many as Rich had raked in a lot more supporters for the band.
In Sept 2006, the band got nominated for an Anugerah Era (an award ceremony organized by Malaysia’s most listened radio station) under the category “Favourite Local English Act” going against big acts such as Too Phat, Pop Shuvit, and Jaclyn Victor (Malaysian Idol winner) and to surprise, the band managed to win the award. This is followed by a double nomination on the Hitz.fm Malaysian English Top 10 Awards under the categories of Best Rock and Best Video. The band also managed to take home both awards for the respective categories.
The band kicked off year 2007 with the release of the repackaged album “In Hating Memory” by adding a Malay language track which turned out to be a nationwide major hit called “Itu Kamu”. The music video was shot by award winning director Jack Wung who hails from Sarawak, Malaysia.
In mid 2007, Ken Chung (bass) departs the band due to professional reasons. The band is currently touring with a bass sessionist and at the same time is looking for a replacement.
On the 27th of January 2008, Estranged got their name placed in the Malaysian history books as the picked up two major awards at the Anugerah Juara Lagu ke-22 (The 22nd Best Song Award ), winning the Pop/Rock category and also the Best Song Award (Malaysia’s most prestigious music award). The band has started the recording process for their sophomore album in Feb and March 2008. The album is expected to be released in May 2008.

Torn
Estranged Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I longed to talk to you
It seems that I am lost here without you
Oh what does it all mean
This thing that we call love
I only want you here
I've really missed you
I'm torn I'm torn apart
At any given times
Left broken from the start
I'm torn I'm torn apart
At any given times
Left broken from the start
Ho ah uh
Tell me how you've been
I've waited for too long
I hope you've learned from me
It's just a dark end
Oh what does it all means
It seems we've reached the end
You're supposed to miss me here
Here with you
I'm torn I'm torn apart
At any given times
Left broken from the start
I'm torn I'm torn apart
At any given times
Left broken from the start
Wo wo oh
I'm torn I'm torn apart
At any given times
Left broken from the start
I'm torn I'm torn apart
At any given times
Left broken from the start
Ha ah
What's rip what's rip apart
At any given times
Been broken from the start
I'm torn I'm torn apart
At any given times
Left broken from the start
I'm torn apart
I'm torn apart
The lyrics of Estranged's song "Torn" evoke feelings of longing, loss, and heartbreak. The singer expresses a deep yearning to reconnect with someone they have been separated from, emphasizing the emptiness and confusion they experience without that person. The repeated phrase "I'm torn apart" highlights the intense emotional pain and vulnerability they feel. The lines "Tell me how you've been/I longed to talk to you/It seems that I am lost here without you" reflect the singer's desperate desire for communication and the feeling of being adrift without the presence of the person they miss.
The lyrics also explore the complexities of love. The singer questions the meaning of love and recognizes that even though love should bring happiness and fulfillment, it has left them feeling torn and broken. The line "I only want you here/I've really missed you" further emphasizes their overwhelming need for the person they long for.
