bmurator Malaysian Atmospheric Black Metal. A one man, Hareesh, project & an extremely talented one too! This is very exploratory & includes many different styles. Each style, from technical to ambient, works extremely well as Hareesh feels his way through his own style. Love the RABM lyrics too! You absolutely need to check out his latest as well! No faves & highly recommended!!!

YomaBarr Pure fire, this. And who says anarchist black metal must be raw and linear? Folks, we deal with an incredibly talented musician here.

Behold, this is it, Will I survive, This feeling, So hopeless, Why lay down, For outdated structures. I deem blood as payment, For the fallen, Alone, I am. Image of lies, Poisons the mind, Masks ghosts of their past, I see the truth, A coffin left to burn, Don't leave me here. Hard to lose, Scent of their crimes, Habits die hard, Let them go, And we will suffer, We will be punished. Rising apologies, Linger in the cycle, No longer able, To forgive your sins.

Idle 11:05
I walk a branching path, Confusion drowns my soul, Time is scarce, Destruction of reality. Running from the ruinous path, Destined for monotony, There is no escape, This quest finds us all. Not much left, Soon to commence, Their Forceful will, Consumes me. No time left for passions, Watch your dreams die, What will you have left, Only tasks left to complete. The point of no return, There is no way back, Take orders or suffer, You've lost control. The circle of the tyrants, Laughing to the sounds, Of the pain that we go through, Exploitation. False rewards, Designed to kill your sense of time, You'll have nothing left, Cunning deceptions, Blur the lines, No room to live, You're now enslaved, Your life's blood is lost, Death creeps on you, We're lost in this plight, your time is gone, The cycle continues, New dreams will be broken, There is no escape, This quest, it finds us all.

about

This will sound cliche but, this EP is pretty much a reflection of my thoughts in the past year. There’s a lot going on in Malaysia and I kinda feel like there’s no way out. The elites continue their political and economic scheming while the marginalised are forced to toil and suffer. I, among many, hope that Malaysians begin to understand that there are no magical heroes coming along to save us, we have to do it ourselves. This system is so broken that it is willing to kill and intimidate to ensure its survival. Calling for resignations, elections and fighting for control of some rigged institution is not gonna change anything. We have to start asking the right questions, interrogating where the real power lies and take it back. There can't be compromises with the ones in power and the fascists who spread hate/violence towards the vulnerable. Until then however, we’re going to see this cycle continue forever.

So yeah, hope you guys enjoy the EP. All profits from this EP, will be going to the SEED Foundation Malaysia (@seedmalaysia ). They're a non-profit organisation that provides support for the Trans, homeless and other marginalised communities of Malaysia. I wanna help out in anyway that I can and I thought that it'd be best to do it with my music. So yeah do buy it if you'd like to support! There’s some cool stuff I tried out in there and is somewhat of an indication of where I will be taking Iravu musically. Until then, take care and stay safe.
