BONG-RA unveil 'Death#2'

Breakcore pioneers BONG-RA unleash a haunting second single from their forthcoming new album "Black Noise". 'Death#2' symbolises the turbulence of contemporary existence, weaving electronic textures and metallic defiance into an unyielding anthem of resistance, driven by the band's unmistakable high-octane energy.

Check the video on our YouTube channel and listen to the song via Bandcamp and all streaming platforms:

Band mastermind Jason Köhnen (THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE, THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET) describes the new single:

"The song 'Death#2' is a very minimal nihilistic grasp on death. Where no further explanations, philosophical or spiritual need be applied but a simple rational view of life passed and death following."

'Dystopic' - the first unveiled track from "Black Noise" (listen here) - is the new album's powerful opener. 'Death#2' is the next track on the record and shares a connected narrative, as Jason relays:

"These are actually also the first two tracks composed after the long hiatus. Hence the '#2' in the title name. They're not connected really except for the general dystopian concept that hangs over the album. Both tracks do contain the key elements that represent the album. One of the creative goals was to work towards 'song' structures, mostly electronically composed music or songs stray from traditional verse/bridge/chorus templates and are more focussed on repetitive/hypnotic structures, withing breakcore there were no rules at all and the polyrhythms set the tone for the chaotic song structures. With "Black Noise" I chose the more traditional path and wanted to experiment how that would work out as part of the album concept. Who knows if future compositions will dive into the more chaotic experimentations, but for this album I think these songs work out really well."

"Black Noise" will be released on CD, vinyl, and digital on February 21st. The vinyl version is released in partnership with Tartarus Records from the Netherlands who are also issuing a tape version of the album. Two specially designed t-shirts will accompany the launch. Pre-orders are possible via our EU, US, and Bandcamp shops.
