Shortly thereafter, Toan left the band, and was replaced by Sammy. The band recorded 9 songs including a cover of Black Flag's Jealous Again, and released High Octane Rock EP in 2004 in tape format on their own label, Parau. Many shows in support of the tape, and without proper promotion they have sold about 12.000 copies of High Octane Rock EP. They even got offered to write songs for local movie soundtrack, teenage flick Catatan Akhir Sekolah and horror flick 12:00 AM. Their fanbase grows bigger, and named themselves 'Serigala Militia' or, Seringai's wolfpack. In 2005, the CD version is released. Fortunately, the CD version was highly anticipated, and with different and exclusive artwork, it has sold 2000 copies in just 2 month. This time, the CD was distributed by Off The Records/Universal Music Indonesia.

Kilometer Terakhir
Seringai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Melawan arah, ku tantang maut, indah.
Terasa lepas.
Melesat di jalan, kilometer terakhir.
Ya, ku hampir tiba, kilometer terakhir.
Kubakar bensin, mesin ini meradang.
Pacu motor, kutuju matahari.
Tancap! Melesat di jalan, ya, ku hampir tiba.
Roda berputar, kilometer terakhir.
Hampir esok, seperti kemarin.
Kilometer terakhir.
The song "Kilometer Terakhir" by Seringai, speaks of a journey where the singer is riding a motorcycle on their last kilometer. They prepare for this final stretch with a sense of determination and excitement. The opening lines, "Melompat ke sadel, dan kuhantam sang selah. Melawan arah, ku tantang maut, indah," describe the singer's readiness to face danger with a rebellious spirit. They feel free, "terasa lepas," as they speed down the road.
The chorus repeats "Kilometer terakhir" to emphasize the closeness to the final destination. The singer is pushing their motorcycle to its limits, "Kubakar bensin, mesin ini meradang. Pacu motor, kutuju matahari. Tancap!" The ride is thrilling, and there are obstacles on the way, such as the wind and the wolves, but the singer is not deterred. They continue, "Roda berputar, kilometer terakhir. Hampir esok, seperti kemarin."
