Kekal is a post-metal / avant-garde metal band from Jakarta, Indonesia, and is currently based in Canada. They started in 1995 as a more straightforward extreme metal band. Throughout the first 5 years, they developed their own style by incorporating many diverse elements from outside metal. This distinct style become most prominent in the third album The Painful Experience, which marked as a starting point for the band to step more and more into the progressive metal and avant-garde metal and made further experiments with their music.

In 2003, they released 1000 Thoughts of Violence and received positive media reviews which led to their first mini-European tour. After a mini-European Tour in 2004, they released their 5th album Acidity in 2005. A year later, they made even further experiments on their recent 2007 album The Habit of Fire, which found the band stepping out of the metal territory, and hence the term 'post-metal' is brought to describe the music.
