“Aborsi Gagal” by Sunyi Lantang, which I’d guess fit the designation of “release” rather than “album” with its 8:58 length, is a first Indonesian work of its kind here on Indokult, leading us deeper underground, the darkest spaces where only the very brave dare to tread. We’re talking about the experimental music. Noise, and to be totally precise, harsh noise (or industrial noise). This release contains two tracks, “Aborsi 1”, clocking in 4:48, and “Aborsi…

Not kidding, it would be probably impossible to cover all the bands from the said genre (and I’m not gonna try it). But every day one can come across an interesting band.
