Indonesian rock band for Revenge is facing a major lineup change after founding drummer Archims Pribadi, widely known as Chimot, announced his departure from the group following a two-decade tenure. The announcement came during the band’s 20th-anniversary concert titled Titik Sadrah at Eldorado Sport & Convention Hall in Bandung, West Java, on October 31, 2026, as reported on Sunday, November 1, 2026.
The Bottom Line
- Archims Pribadi (Chimot) officially stepped down as the drummer of for Revenge after 20 years with the band.
- The departure was publicly announced on October 31, 2026, during the Titik Sadrah anniversary concert in Bandung, following a series of physical injuries that required intensive physiotherapy.
- The band is scheduled to press on with international touring, including an upcoming stop at ZEPP Kuala Lumpur on November 15, 2026.
An Emotional Farewell at the Eldorado Sport & Convention Hall
The milestone concert in Bandung was designed as a celebration of two decades in the Indonesian music industry. Instead, it doubled as a poignant farewell for the band’s last remaining original member. Chimot delivered his exit message through a video played during the final segment of the evening, urging remaining members Boniex Noer, Arief Ismail, and Izha Muhammad to safeguard the group’s future. In the video, Chimot specifically stated, Boniex, Arief, Izha, komite, dan kalian for revenge family dari seluruh infonesia tolong jaga for Revenge
.
The emotional weight of the night peaked during the outro of the song “Penyangkalan.” Chimot sat visibly subdued behind his drum kit before his bandmates walked over to embrace him on stage. The transition from celebration to separation resonated deeply through the venue, marking the end of an era for the group.
Overcoming Injuries and Decades of Resilience
The decision to part ways was driven largely by physical limitations. Chimot suffered a severe leg injury in mid-2025, necessitating rigorous physiotherapy that sidelined him from several live performances, where substitute drummer Tepe occasionally filled in. Despite the physical toll, Chimot remained actively involved in the creation of the band’s recent material, including the album Perayaan Patah Hati – Babak Dua.
He acknowledged the hardships of the band’s formative years—including periods of struggle before tracks like “Serana,” “Penyangkalan,” and “Jakarta Hari Ini” propelled them into mainstream prominence—noting that every journey ultimately reaches its designated stopping point. During the band’s lowest points, Chimot even sold noodles to make a living, and he was the one who initiated bringing vocalist Boniex back when the band was on the brink.
Regarding his exit, Chimot added, Tentu tidak mudah untuk sampai pada keputusan ini. Namun, saya merasa setiap perjalanan punya waktunya masing-masing
, and concluded, Saya bersyukur bisa menjadi bagian dari cerita for Revenge, dan ini menjadi cara yang sangat berarti untuk menutup babak tersebut
