#BreakingNews : STUBBORN Unleashes the Gate to Eternal Darkness with New Single "AMERTHA:KALIYUGA" – Debut Album “ABSOLUTE CHAOS” to Follow in July
Serang, Indonesia – June 13, 2025
Chaotic Hardcore force STUBBORN from ATTACK City, Serang – Banten, Indonesia, has returned with a destructive new anthem titled "AMERTHA:KALIYUGA", released on June 13, 2025, as both a single and an intense music video. This track serves as the doorway to their long-awaited debut full-length album "ABSOLUTE CHAOS", set for release on July 11, 2025, via Attack City Records.
Fusing chaotic hardcore and hardcore metal with a thick modern Swedish chainsaw tone, STUBBORN has carved their name into the underground scene with unrelenting aggression and raw energy. Formed in 2021, the band first made waves with the single "DOPPELGANGER" in early 2022, followed by "RAISED BY EATER" featuring Hero Timothy later that year. They brought their sonic carnage to a major stage in 2023 during HELLPRINT: Monster of Noise, and after a period of silence, they are now back stronger than ever.
"AMERTHA:KALIYUGA" is described by the band as a blueprint of destruction — a conceptual gateway into an absurd, inescapable void born from modern life’s darkest corners. The title draws from Hindu mythology, with "Amertha" meaning immortality, and "Kaliyuga" signifying the age of darkness — together forming the idea of an eternal dark era.
Vocalist Mawleste, who also penned the lyrics, explores social collapse and the resignation of human morality, where once-taboo behaviors are now normalized, immortalized, and ritualized in modern culture.
The music video, edited and directed by Aldi Zulfikar (SBLHMTA), visually mirrors the bleak tone of the upcoming album. Mixing and mastering were masterfully handled by Praditya Eka Putra at Invasion Studio, Depok, delivering a cold, hard, and loud production that amplifies the band’s antagonistic, chaotic identity.
"ABSOLUTE CHAOS" will feature the latest single alongside reimagined versions of their previous works, promising a sonic beatdown filled with mosh-heavy anthems and hard-hitting riffs. This album not only marks their return from a two-year hiatus but also represents the resurrection of their burning spirit — now refined into unrelenting madness.
