Malaysian skramz outfit NONPAREIL is back with their latest release, Seakan Laut Tenggelam, an EP that marks both a creative evolution and a deeply personal milestone for the band. With a fresh lineup featuring a new guitarist and drummer, Nonpareil has entered a new era, channeling their raw “flower violence” aesthetic into a project that resonates with both power and vulnerability.
Seakan Laut Tenggelam—which translates to “As If the Sea Drowns”—is a poignant exploration of the life journey. The title reflects the weight of adulthood—a burden that feels overwhelming at times but one that demands strength and resilience to carry forward. The EP weaves together themes of loss, self-reflection, and the complex process of growing into maturity.
The new lineup has brought fresh energy and perspective to the band’s sound. While some tracks began with the previous members, they’ve been re-arranged to reflect the chemistry and intensity of the current formation. The result is a cohesive collection of songs that feel both familiar and reimagined, capturing the essence of Nonpareil’s evolution.
Each track on Seakan Laut Tenggelam represents a chapter in the journey, from the weight of grief to the quiet determination to move forward. Yet, the EP also holds space for hope and renewal, reminding listeners that growth often comes from confronting the deepest struggles.
This EP is not just about personal experiences—it’s a reflection of the band’s vision to create music that resonates deeply with those who have faced their own battles. We hope that listeners connect with this journey, finding solace and a sense of shared humanity in the face of life’s complexities. Even in the darkest moments, there’s a light waiting to be found, and our music seeks to explore that truth.
“It’s about processing what’s lost, embracing change, and finding meaning as we move forward,” the band shares.
Seakan Laut Tenggelam represents a redefinition for Nonpareil—not just in sound but in purpose. With this release, the band continues to push their boundaries, creating a soundscape that is as heartfelt as it is ambitious.
It’s a tribute to what’s been and an embrace of what’s yet to come—a reminder that even amidst life’s darkest moments, the light of hope remains.
