Fuzzed out stoner-doom act Berdosa from Malaysia will mark the next chapter in their discography with the release of their debut album ‘Berdoa’. It is the spiritual continuation of where Smells Like Tree Spirit left, tying in a darker atmosphere with deeper roots to their regional heritage. Conveniently named Berdoa, the album translates to prayer in Bahasa Malaysia. The album consists of 8 songs that set the stage and allow the listener to question the contemporary culture of religion through its lyrics; while ruminating for answers through its instrumentals.
Having the album recorded in Live Fact (KL) through the guiding ears of Eric Wong (Koffin Kanser, Gerhana Ska Cinta, Skits), the band was given the creative freedom of searching and eventually forging the true essence of Berdosa’s sound – which is just, a really tall room with many amplifiers. The recording allowed the band to also collaborate with a dynamic pick of artists who ranged from a soulful gospel singer to a spirit-eating death metal vocalist.

Not one to shy from controversy, the album art centers on three pairs of hands; clasped, clenched and open-palmed; each hand representing an expression of prayer, each position representing a state of mind in one’s journey through the search of religion.
The album will be released digitally and on all major streaming platforms and in a physical CD format on October 11th 2020
