Pollutant Smoke Makes Crowd, .Feast Silence

.Feast (Doc. .Feast)

JAKARTA - It is said that he is oriented towards the veteran musician Iwan Fals. Feast often voices his opposition to all things that are deviant in every aspect of life. Overwhelmed by pollutant smoke, haunted by fears over climate change, they returned to their voices through a single titled The Dance of Destruction.

This single discusses the relationship between humans and nature, culture, and everything that was born by nature long before society walked the earth. Describes disappointment with the failure of people's efforts to respond to environmental changes (both natural and cultural) wisely, as well as disappointment with hypocritical self in becoming a consumer of culture and products.

"Reflecting on the many unpleasant news regarding environmental damage and threats to the continuity of Indonesia's various cultural heritages recently, it seems that the Destruction Dance is a relevant song to be released now," said vocalist Baskara Putra in a written statement received by VOI, Monday, November 11th.

This song, Baskara continued, was written not only as a criticism of the situation in general, but also to themselves.

"We are competing to destroy everything that is original and beautiful, for whatever reason," he said.

As if inviting the listeners to dance in response to the current environmental conditions. Baskara with Adnan SP (guitar), Dicky (guitar), Fikriawan (bass), and Haryo 'Bodat' (drums) tried to explore the sound of the tetabuhan in the Destroyer Dance by presenting the gamelan sound in the intro.

However, the characteristic of .Feast is like a bluesy guitar sound that still sounds real. The bass department, which this time explored using sub bass, is still familiar with its progress. Even so with Baskara's vocals, who are still very straightforward in voicing the lyrics full of social criticism issues.

Through the Dance of Kingdom Destruction, .Feast makes us realize that music is a dangerous weapon. They will continue to speak, such as when announcing Civilization, News of the Lost, and In the Count. Yes, .Feast refused the silence as if helpless.
