Pakistani thrash metal band Tabahi has released a new song titled “Obsidian,” showcasing their defiance in the face of adversity and their unwavering dedication to metal music despite facing marginalization. The song boldly confronts the lies and doubts spread about the band, highlighting their resilience and refusal to be silenced.
“Obsidian” serves as a rallying cry, urging listeners to unite and overcome deceitful forces. The lyrics empower individuals to stand up for their rights and fight for what they believe in. It is an anthem of defiance, reflecting the band’s personal experiences in Pakistan while staying true to themselves and their loyal fanbase.
Tabahi’s unique position as the sole thrash metal band in Pakistan allows them to address socio-political issues through their music. Karachi, their hometown and the 12th largest city in the world is plagued by various ethnic, sectarian, and political conflicts. Through their thought-provoking lyrics, Tabahi sheds light on these challenges, generating an impact not only in Pakistan but also globally.
The band’s determination to explore complex themes and their commitment to their craft has garnered them a dedicated following. Since their debut in 2012, Tabahi has made significant contributions to the metal industry worldwide. With the release of “Obsidian” and their highly anticipated second EP, “Thrash for Justice,” set to be released in August 2023 through CDN Records, the band continues to solidify their position as the leading thrash metal band in Karachi, Pakistan, and beyond.
“Obsidian” is a powerful testament to Tabahi’s refusal to be silenced and their unwavering pursuit of metal music. The song is available on all major streaming platforms, and fans of thrash metal and those who appreciate music with a message will undoubtedly connect with this powerful track from Tabahi.
