Undead rock. That’s the simplest way to put it.
Songs about zombies based in rock structure with otherworldly-sounding instruments.
It’s rhythmic, it’s hypnotic, it’s primal.
The lyrics are macabre and oddly hooky.
Ramelan music is unlike anything you’ve heard before.
Instead of a traditional rock setup, the trio of instruments includes an acoustic 5-string bass, a violin, and my “chimera” hand dum kit
Add lots of unique percussion and an impending war with Chaos and his undead army, and you’ve got Ramelan music.
I sing the words of Ramelan’s songs, his stories…
“Ramelan, god of the dead!” (In my fictional world, anyway.)
What people are saying:
There’s no music really like it. It’s one of a kind.

It could almost be called post-pop. None of the classic pop elements, but these catchy lyrics and hooks. The words are precisely chosen.

It’s like this primal thing, earthy and deep. There’s this shamanic thing going on, too.
