Veteran Indonesian metal band Burgerkill recently returned to performing live earlier this year following the death of their guitarist Aries ‘Eben’ Tanto in September last year. The group showcased their new lineup with a virtual concert in early January and have since performed at Jogyarockarta, Soundrenaline and RockAroma to name a few.

FORCEPARKBOIS, who exploded into regional notoriety with their 2021 hit single ‘LOTUS’, most recently teamed up with fellow rapper Quai for a titled ‘LUKAKU’ (‘My Wound’) on October 14. The single, their fourth of the year, followed the release of ‘PSP’ in July, and the songs ‘Top Boi’ and ‘All Day’ prior to that.

Dipha Barus last released the single ‘Wadiwaw’ in December last year following his collaborative single ‘Keep It Hush’, featuring Afgan and Esther Geraldine earlier that same month. His prior releases that year included January’s ‘Tidak Ada Salju di Sini, Pt. 7’ featuring Hindia (aka .Feast frontman Baskara Putra), and March’s cross-continent collaboration with Colombian artist Jackie Castro, ‘Flower’.
