established in 1993, with the formation: Otong (vocals), Doni (guitar), Imo (Bass), Leon (drums). Since its establishment Koil decided to create and play songs his own creation. This decision is of less prevalent at the time, because most of the band when it is more often brought the song to others.
With great effort finally succeeded in creating some fruit Koil songs and in 1994 with minimal funding Coils can enter the recording studio and recorded about 8 songs. Then the songs were released in a single titled "Demo From Nowhere". This cassette only release limited, apart from the lack of funding because it was too difficult to get a proper coil to sell the tape. The only place that want to market is a Reverse Outfits, a shop belonging to Richard Mutter (ex drummer for the band Pas)
In 1996, a producer named Budi Soesatio of Project Q label (the label that released albums Slank 1-3) released the album attracted to Koil Koil and contract as much as 2 albums. So in September 1996 COIL first released a full album entitled "COIL", the songs on this album is partly taken from a single Demo From Nowhere.
The album received positive responses from audiences of Indonesian music, especially rock music lovers, for music and his lyrics are considered a new milestone in Indonesian rock music scene. Koil is the music that carried rock music filled with the sound sampling sampling. Sampling was not only come from a musical instrument but also of the sounds that exist around us like the sound of water, the sound of iron being hit, beaten pan sound animal sounds, sounds of speech, etc., who worked with a neat use of sampling techniques. In terms of lyrics, writing lyrics that mengekspresian liver emptiness, darkness and emptiness of love that poured in lyric verses speak Indonesian, became a plus for Indonesian coil because the lyrics are still rarely used for this type of rock music such as the coil.
Cooperation Project Koil Q and actually still leaves 1 piece of the album again but because of monetary crisis caused intercepted Project Q can not produce an album of the 2nd coil. Finally in 1998 Koil decided to get out of Project Q.
Once out of Project Q, released the single coil is Eternal Loneliness under Apocalypse Records label. A label created by Otong (coil) and Adam (Cubic). Cassette single was distributed through a network of indie underground distros that when it has started popping up in many major cities,
The release of this album makes a coil back up to the surface marked with the number of bids coming gig. Along with that, Koil try a new concept in the show is to include other elements in the fashion show and dance. Fashion element that gets great attention from the coil is the use of special costumes in every appearance ..

This album contains 10 songs and cover artwork Lunches are very slick, white the dominant color picture of a woman's face.
When first released cassette distribution is done only through a network of underground distros in Jakarta and Bandung, mail order, and some record stores. This method had to be taken by a coil which is to reduce the cost of distribution, but even in this way can Megalobalst album sold about 15 thousand copies (a figure that is big enough for the size and manner of distributing an indie label like this).
These sales figures are supported by a vigorous promotion is to create thousands of posters and baligo which in pairs on the main streets, to do this promotion Koil assisted many parties like the distros, radio, magazines, and who invites controversy is a donation of Restaurants Bandung Cihampelas McDonalds (McDonalds restaurant in bandung underground community in fear of the time). Store Manager McDonalds restaurant when it was Wisnu Aji Nugroho aka Wayank (founder of the band / clothing citysounds) reportedly was a friend of coil
After that in order to boost sales, create a video clip Koil Near Heaven for the song and the clip was sent to MTV, unexpectedly turned out to clip it got a positive response from the MTV.
