Since appearing in the underground music scene in 2016, Morgensoll, a post-metal unit from Jakarta-Indonesia, has released a new single titled “Doomed”.
“Doomed” is a dark number. Here, Morgensoll tries to describe the atmosphere of destruction in the afterlife. Even without vocals, as in almost all of their release material, Morgensoll tells about the void that will be faced by many people.
Haecal Aliba Benarivo, guitarist and founder of Morgensoll said, “If that time comes (read: the afterlife period), it seems that no one will know the answers to various questions such as; what actually happened? Where is all this going? What should be done by now?“
Regarding his own creative process, Benarivo created a song chart which was later developed with Bagas Wisnu (drums), Yohanes Devin (guitar), and Adiaksa Wisesa (bass) in the studio. From the technical side to a variety of other additional elements, they completed throughout the Morgensoll training session.
“Actually, there are no obstacles that hinder the execution of this single Doomed. Perhaps one of the problems experienced is the problem of timing compatibility between personnel. But beyond that, everything went smoothly without a hitch,” added Benarivo again.
In order to extend the promotion period later, Morgensoll is preparing a video clip for the single “Doomed”. This project is a collaboration with Satrya Damarjati, a visual artist from Jakarta who is fully entrusted with working on the creative process.
The single “Doomed” is also a warm-up to the Morgensoll’s first full-length album, Eternal, which will be released in May if as planned.
