Warfare Metal, the debut release from Sri Lankan black/death/war metal outfit Sura’sura, is a hell of an introduction, steeped in primitive rage and no-frills songwriting. Sura’sura are a mysterious group, existing only on Bandcamp and in the physical realm, offering nothing but the members’ initials and a statement about Warfare Metal:
“No divine bailout. No external savior. No gods. No masters. You are your own savior!”
These beliefs tie in to the greater themes on Warfare Metal and on “Atomic Phalanx,” streamable below exclusively via Decibel. The EP focuses on themes of man versus AI, technology and advanced forms of warfare, coupled with South Asian mythology in which the gods depend on human action for conflict resolution.
Brace for impact and listen to “Atomic Phalanx” below. Warfare Metal is out on March 29 via VIRŪPI (විරෑපී); CDs and digital are available via Bandcamp.
