CIMAHI, INDONESIA – March 30, 2025 – Rising once again from the shadows of West Java’s underground scene, BLANC ET NOIR has officially released their latest single, “Parasit Iblis” , on all major music streaming platforms. The band also confirmed that an intense music video for the track is currently in production and will be unveiled in the coming weeks. “Parasit Iblis” is a crushing Deathcore anthem that delves deep into the human struggle against inner demons and toxic influences—referred to metaphorically as “parasites” or “devils.” The song captures emotions of loneliness, frustration, and the burning desire to break free from negative forces, wrapped in a sonic experience that is both aggressive and emotionally raw. For the first time, BLANC ET NOIR showcases a dual-vocalist assault — Hardian Iswanto and Andri —whose dynamic and brutally expressive performances add an extra layer of depth and intensity to the track.

Their first single, “Always Keep The Faith,” was recorded with the help of Faisa a.k.a. Caca.
