Album Notes & Community Reviews

The formidable Indonesian duo returns with an intensely dark, ritualistic exploration of regional mythology and modern industrial noise. 'Vajranala' centers on Wukir Suryadi's custom-built bamboo stringed instruments and Rully Shabara's terrifying, throat-shredding vocal techniques. The record provides a deeply overwhelming, profoundly tribal fusion of traditional Javanese aesthetics and avant-garde metal heaviness.
