I came across this metalcore band from Cikarang by chance and it proves what I’m always talking about – there are a number of great-sounding Indonesian bands (of all genres) that you almost never hear of … but you have to. One of them is Burning Wolf from Cikarang and I am happy that my friends agreed to this short interview to introduce them to Indokult readers. Ready? I thought so … let’s go. I…

The EP contains 7 tracks, starting with “Requiem Introitus”, which is 2:30 long intro, of unexpected (but for me, very pleasant) ambient vibe, something you can be…
