Grup band J-Rocks sukses besar tahun 2008 ini. Bagaimana tidak mereka mendapatkan hadiah membuat rekaman di studio Abbey Road Studio London Inggris.

Hadiah itu didapat Sony Cs setelah mendapatkan gelar sebagai The Best Band Who Can Free Their Voice dalam ajang Soundrenaline 2008. Pengusung musik rock gaya Jepang ini dianggap sebagai band terbaik dalam menyuarakan apa yang ingin mereka sampaikan kepada publik musik. Tak tanggung-tanggung, J-Rocks menyingkirkan empat nomine lain, yaitu Nidji, Padi, Gigi dan Saint Loco, empat grup yang punya juga tempat terhormat di blantika musik tanah air. Pesan yang ingin disampaikan J-Rocks adalah Save Our Music and Culture.

“Kami nggak percaya bisa mendapat hadiah ini. Memang kami tahu apa yang ingin kami sampaikan yaitu, Save Our Music and Culture. Tapi kami nggak nyangka. Kami sudah punya beberapa lagu yang bisa direkam di sana, tapi belum dipilih,” kata Sony Ismail Robbayani, gitaris J-Rocks, usai pengumuman pemenang di Caesar Lounge and Cafe Yogyakarta, Senin (11/8) pukul 02.00.

Sony bersama Anton Rudi Kelces (drum), Swara Wimayoga (bas) dan Imam Taufik Rachman (vokal) akan menjalani rekaman di Abbey Road Studios yang legendaris. Studio yang dibangun pada 1931 itu sangat lekat dengan The Beatles karena band ini merekam sebagian besar album dan single-nya di studio bergaya Gregorian ini selama 1962 hingga 1970. Bahkan Abbey Road dipilih menjadi judul album The Beatles yang diluncurkan pada 1969 dan mengantar hit seperti Something dan Oh! Darling.

Meski begitu Abbey Road Studios telah mencetak sukses puluhan artis seperti Cliff Richard, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Oasis, Green Day, U2 dan banyak lagi lainnya. Begitu terkenalnya studio ini, sampai-sampai band Amerika Red Hot Chili Peppers difoto telanjang hanya dengan kaos kaki jelek saat menyeberang zebra cross di depan studio itu.

Deny

To deny means to kill an allied creep (normally one with low hit points left. Denying a creep reduces (or in the case of denying with a skill completely negates) experience gain for enemy heroes. A denied creep gives 66% of its normal experience value to the enemy hero if its a melee hero, and 33% if he is ranged. A creep must have below 50% life to be deniable. Buildings can also be denied; defense towers, for example, are often denied to prevent the opposing team from gaining the large amount of gold it gives the opposing team when destroyed. Buildings, however, must have 10% or less of its maximum hit points in order to be deniable.

An allied hero can also be denied, but only under certain circumstances. Usually, when the hero is affected with a Damage Over Time skill and is at or under 25% of his maximum HP, you can deny (attack and kill) the hero in order to stop the opposing team from getting gold and experience. Some examples of such buffs that can make a hero deniable are:

• Doom
• Shadow Strike (units afflicted by Viper Strike cannot be denied)
• Shadow Word
• Curse of the Silent

Denying will also trigger skills that trigger when killing an enemy creep, such as Sadist, Blood Bath, Flesh Heap, and Necromastery.

Skills for denying

Several abilities allow the user to kill an allied creep. Denying with such skills makes the creep give absolutely no experience to enemy heroes. These skills are:

• Dark Ritual
• Death Pact
• Conversion
• Infest

You could also type in -di or -cson any time in the game in order to activate the deny record chart. The deny record chart shows you how many lanes creeps did you kill and how many did you deny.

Exception:

• Toss

By tossing a creep, you deal damage to him, but if you kill a creep with a Toss, it is counted as a normal deny.
