This furious black metal horde from Bandung has a new album out already, called “Deathymn” (released in 2020), however, I’ve decided to a look at their previous release.

Hello, Caesar, how are…
Siga Nu Betul is a confirmation of the fact that there’s a quality music everywhere. I’ve said it before and I will repeat it. However, the other fact is – with the literal avalanche of music online there’s almost no chance one will be found (not to mention heard) if this or that artist has no massive support from some known label.
