Doom Metal Band Shankar Release Hinduism-Influenced New Single [Indonesia]

By on April 20, 2022

Formed in 2016, Indonesian doom metal band Shankar grabbed ahold of their influences Black Sabbath, Sleep, Firebreather, Monolord, Oathbreaker, Conan, etc., to get working on their debut EP ‘Under The Human State’ which was eventually released in 2019 on Skullism Records.

This brand new single is entitled ‘Priest’ and the band stated, “The song is about priests, especially in Hinduism. Broadly speaking, the priest has been determined by his destiny. The process of becoming a priest is not easy, where you have to go through Dwijati (suspended death) to get the holiness back that we humans fear.”
