Band Members
Kevin [Vocals/Guitar], Longek [Bass], Bernie [Guitar] & Saga [Drum]
Sense O' Viera is named after a friend of the band who really admired the famous footballer named Patrick Viera (who used to play for Arsenal & Juventus) and played football imitating Patrick Viera's style.
The band was formed by Kevin along with his friend Saga in 2003 when they were still in their high school days. They first started out as a typical after school jamming band, jamming around local music studios in Kuching. During that time, Soulfly was the hottest band around. Kevin really loved the idea of mixing tribal elements with metal music; a style made popular by bands like Sepultura (during their Roots era) and Soulfly. This is because all of Sense O' Viera's member is made up of Dayaks (ethnic indigenous tribes of Borneo). With their love for their Dayak & Borneo roots, Kevin was driven to form a band that played metal & at the same time, paying tribute to the band's Dayak roots.
Fusing Borneo folk & mythology elements with metal music became a trademark Sense O' Viera. They are a frequent act in local gigs around Kuching city and they have since recorded a demo entitled "Dayak Warrior" in 2007.
