Balakatara has come to my knowledge basically as the majority of the bands and artists from Indonesia – by a pure chance. And it’s been a while since we had an Indonesian black metal artist here in the Indokult (indeed, the interview with Tombstone seems to be like being done ages ago). But it’s not by a chance that I’ve decided to give a shout to the Bekasi and see what’s going on there! Do…
Mutasi means “mutation” in bahasa Indonesia and it’s also a name of the brutal death band from Karawang. So, again, we’re all over the map of Indonesia – last time I’ve reviewed something BDM, it was the album by Twin Force Kill from Jakarta. I’ve got the promo of Mutasi om the great Indonesian brutalizer boss Dede Supriatna (Inherited Production) some time ago but somehow it keeps slipping through my fingers. Until now. I remember…

And because I’m reviewing the album by Township Rebellion, you don’t have to be a genius to guess which option it was. It was Berdaulat. Because I am a cheapo, I only listen to free Spotify, which means the songs are on random, and…
“Gambaran Cinta” is a proof that I’ve been listening to a lot of songs by Inka Christie lately. She is definitely a part of an interesting scene of 1990s Indonesian “lady rockers”, and being driven by nostalgia for the time long gone, I’ve decided to dedicate a section of Indokult website for these great singers. And because many of these are largely (or even completely) unknown here in the West, I guess it’s about time…
