Camlann – Ronny (Burn in Hell) – All Metal Everything

“Indonesian dark pop duo, Camlann, comprised of Ony Godfrey and Fauzan Pratama, has come a long and winding way since their inception, evolving from their initial trad-goth sound to their current fusion of dark disco, new wave, synth-pop, and rock. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of luminaries such as Depeche Mode, Saâda Bonaire to Grace Jones and Prince, the duo has concocted a unique and captivating sound that is delivered with lyrics that pierces into political, historical, and social topics under the lense of two Indonesian socialists. Camlann has released four albums so far. Their debut and second album, The Forgotten Lost Fragments (2020) and Circa 1983 (2021) was released by the German-based darkwave record label, Cold Transmission Music. Their third album, Train to 86th Street (2022) showcases Camlann’s ability on blending 70’s disco and soft rock with their trademark modern darkwave sound. Tracks such as Charming Deceiver and Midnight Euphoria has become fans’ favourite. Their fourth album Dismantle! (2023) was released by the Russian-based record label, Oberwave Records. This album is a living proof of the duo’s fearless passion on contributing to the liberation of the proletariat class. “Dismantle!” is what Camlann is: bold, unapologetic, honest, and real. And the duo won’t stop voicing the voice of the working class.“

The newest release from Indonesian industrial act Camlann, this track is unapologetically brutal in just about every way. What really stood out to me on first hearing Ronny (Burn in Hell) was the deeply personal spirit of vengeance that permeates every aspect of the composition. A socio-political commentary on the sexualization of women and children, Camlann ventures boldly and unapologetically into crucial territory to address the abusers directly and keeps in line with subject matter that the duo has already become well-known for.
