A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the ep while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. At times the music also captures a very lo-fi atmosphere along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking ands blast beats which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing, bass guitar leads can also be heard briefly and synths are added on the closing track which is also an instrumental.
Mantahungal plays a style of black metal that is very raw, aggressive and lo-fi sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover Indonesian History and the Dutch East Indies.
In my opinion Mantahungal are a very great sounding raw black metal duo and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Latunga" and "Ephila Mel Wihar". 8 out of 10.
