Indonesian atmospheric Black Metal unit PURE WRATH will unleash "The Forlorn Soldier" EP on March 6th. This poignant offering serves as the band's Debemur Morti debut as well as a teaser to the band's third full-length.
Forged 2014 in West Java, PURE WRATH is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Januaryo Hardy who presents here an emotive three-track, near-half-hour exploration of events behind a brutal incident during the '60s genocide in Indonesia where male members of a family were kidnapped and “vanished” by a tyrannical army in the name of “so-called nationalism”.
Far darker and more immersive, expansive, and organic than previous works, "The Forlorn Soldier" -- with its powerful, melodic cascades, impassioned vocals, skilled guest drum work by Yurii Kononov (ex-WHITE WARD), and piano contributions by Dice Midyanti (VICTORIAN) -- journeys to an all-encompassing realm where mythic dreamscapes meet bloody thematic realism.
"The Forlorn Soldier" cover art was painted by Aghy Purakusuma and will feature the following songs :
1. When A Great Man Dies
2. Children Of The Homeland
3. With Their Names Engraved
