#BreakingNews : BERANTAI Unleashes Socially charged Single “MISI SUPREMASI”
Pasuruan, Indonesia – Indonesian technical death metal force BERANTAI has unleashed a hard-hitting new single, “Misi Supremasi”, on January 25, 2025. Accompanied by a powerful music video, this track marks another milestone for the band, which has been consistently delivering extreme metal since its inception in 2010.
The song’s lyrics, penned by vocalist Ade Pratama, are a raw expression of his frustration with corruption, legal discrimination, and the self-serving policies of national leaders. “‘Misi Supremasi’ describes the decay of a corrupt system, the injustices within law enforcement, and policies that widen social inequality,” Ade explained.
Musically, BERANTAI delivers an intense display of technical death metal with a complex instrumental arrangement. The track wastes no time, launching into ferocious screams, intricate guitar work, and relentless bass-drum synchronization.
A Tribute to Late Guitarist Dhany
The song was composed by the late Dhany, BERANTAI’s guitarist for over a decade, who passed away after battling personal struggles. Despite his deteriorating health, Dhany remained determined and completed the composition in 2019. His unwavering dedication has left a lasting impact on the band and its fans.
“This was written by our late guitarist, Dhany, during a difficult period in his life. Despite his struggles, he remained optimistic and pushed through until ‘Misi Supremasi’ was fully recorded,” said Ade.
The release of this single and music video was a collective effort by the band and their close supporters, as a tribute to Dhany’s legacy. BERANTAI opted for an independent release, relying on their strong community instead of a record label.
A Decade of Evolution: From Slamming Death to Technical Mastery
Founded in 2010 within the Pasuruan Under Division metal community, BERANTAI originally embraced experimental slamming death metal. Their debut EP, Sugeng Rawuh Sang Cemeng Ing Tlatah Jawi (2012), introduced their brutal sound. However, over the years, the band has evolved into a more sophisticated and technical death metal act.
Despite several lineup changes, BERANTAI remains steadfast, currently consisting of Ade (vocals), Dhony (guitar), Arifudin "Bodrek" (bass), and Rino (drums).
With “Misi Supremasi,” BERANTAI not only delivers a scathing critique of social injustice but also honors the memory of a fallen brother. Their unyielding spirit and technical prowess continue to solidify their presence in Indonesia’s extreme metal scene.
