Trust Me, Nryptobah Addicts More Than Just A Surprise From Koil

Nail (Doc. coil)

JAKARTA - An industrial rock band from Bandung, Koil released a new song titled Addict Nryptobah on May 14 yesterday in all music streaming services.

This release is a new chapter in the journey of Otong (vocals), Donnyantoro (guitar), Vladvamp (bass, synthesizer), and Leon Legoh (drums) in an effort to redeem their fourth full album postponed by more than two windu.

Previously, Koil was in the phase of completing various 'angsuran' series designed as a milestone towards the new album in question.

In the last three years, Koil has spawned two series with the titles First Installment and Second Installment, including various other optional projects for fans (read: Nail Killer Club).

Among other things, printing a new format for the monumental album, Blacklight, then re-recording an old song in the umbrella of the EP're-recording Song of Rain and giving birth to a remix of the Rainbow Stairs of Vladvamp' released in 7 inc (Grimloc Records) and digital disk format, to releasing a live album from a historic concert in Sabuga.

In other words, the birth of the Nryptotbah Addict is proof as well as the answer to the many questions of fans and the music public in general, especially regarding the existence of the Nail on the national music map, and in fact, the creativity of the Koil music is still very prime and does not fade due to age.

In his opinion, the Nryptotbah Addict was introduced by Koil through the first installation series in the early days of the pandemic (2020). However, apart from his very limited physical releases, the First Installment version of the Nryptobah Addict has not found its original form as a whole or still in its roughest form in the form of a demonstration.

According to Donnyantoro, the mastermind behind the creation of the Nryptobah Addict, this song is a piece or debris of treasure from the remains of the third album, Blacklight Shines On. The foundation of this material has been compiled since 2005, but then crystallized for one reason or another.

Since it was made 18 years ago, this song has experienced repeated dismantling of arrangements, before finally reaching a version like now. But the mood, at least a lot of it is still circularly in the Blacklight Shines On era music range, but of course in a different style, "he said while mentioning that his creation background was sourced from the exploration of the sound of the synthesizer he played at the headquarters of Nail era, Sultan Agung 9.

As a result, the song Addict Nryptotbah still prioritizes characteristics that are thick with the identity of the coil so far. Scan at the riffs from the past rock circuit facilitation that they enjoyed and touched the dark atmosphere and the bassline danced to the sound of percusive adrenaline triggers for happy headbanging.

On the other hand, the Nryptotbah Addict offers a more complex arrangement than other Koil songs, also recorded as the fastest song from the entire catalog that Koil has introduced so far.

Meanwhile, in the lyric department, Nryptotah Addicts present a striking laric shock about the phenomenon of social piety. He said it had been venomous since the first verse. On behalf of wealth, in the name of love, in the name of a demon under the guise of a religion that promises heaven. Not to forget, Otong, who is always in charge of knitting lyrics, also mixes his characteristics with interesting humor.

From what was embroidered by Otong, the Nryptotah Addict has the potential to give birth to friction in the lyric sector. Condolences with the selection of diction are scathing but there is room that seems deliberately made empty for reflection material for anyone who hears. A paradoxical game of words.

In addition, the song Addict Nryptotbah also has haphazard levels with coil sampling. Sampling, which can also be a detector for listeners without having to struggle to find out where the source of inspiration for writing this lyric was created.

One thing that needs to be underlined, Otong admits that he positioned himself as a big fan of the figure who inspired him to give birth to the song Addict Nryptotbah. What he wrote was not to attack. Otong only saw this phenomenon and then changed its shape into an aesthetic art work. The rest, he invited the values and meaning to be interpreted as freely as possible.

What Otong wrote might seem striking and rude. But the fact is that this phenomenon is a reality that we also see and experience everyday, right? Whether it's on the media, social media, it even happens and is very close to our environment, in the circle of friendship, even to the scope of the family," said Leon Legoh.

It's not a boy's name if you don't give a surprise in every release. Instead of offering only one song, the Nryptotbah Addict is actually a release of a single format with many choices. In this context, Koil spoils public waiting with a series of other versions. Outside of the original version of songs, Nryptotbah Addicts are divided into 7 journals of music, a variety of forms of reinterpretation and a sound approach.

The seven versions were packaged in an offer of a gloomy and dark GOspel feel composed directly by Vladvamp with the title The Ghost Spell Evangelist. Then there is a remix version based on drums and bass worked on by their inbreeding moniker, Genesida, to a row of other multi-interpretation remixes involving organic participation from friends out there who have passed Vladvamp's super tight curation.

The selected remixers are EvanEpan, Kassaf and Batu Besi Pasir. The interpretation response they made was very unique with a musical approach style that was somewhat impossible for Koil to touch, from city sentiment to jazz smooth. While the rest of the formats are demo versions previously introduced in First Installment releases and instrumental numbers that can be used for karaoke sessions.

Trust me, Nryptobah Addicts are more than just a surprise!
