After Behazael, whose material I’ve reviewed here, we have yet another quite obscure black metal material from the lovely country of Indonesia, Adati . With the total playing time of 16:56, this one-man project (I assume), brings out to you 6 tracks of the raw black metal. Or lo-fi black metal, as it also labelled.

Realita is a a punk of melodic variety, with 7…
Also known under the English title “Firegate”, Gerbang Neraka is an adventure/horror movie from the director Rizal Mantovani. Haven’t I told you I’d need to make a special section at IndoKult for him? However, before any of you scream I’m obssessed with Rizal’s work, it’s not true, but when you research his work for the reviews of movies like Kuntilanak trilogy (review here, here and here), I’ve found quite a few other movies catching my…
