#BreakingNews : “Hitam” - ARDSUMARGONO Unveils Solo Debut, Signals the Awakening of CHALATRAZ

Bandung, December 2025 — Ardsumargono (@ardsumargono), guitarist, solo artist, and producer under Hypogene Records (@hypogenerecords), has officially stepped into the spotlight with the release of his debut solo single “Hitam”, out worldwide on December 23, 2025, across all digital streaming platforms.

Rooted in Progressive Metal, “Hitam” serves as a powerful introduction to Ardsumargono’s musical identity—one defined by heaviness, darkness, emotional depth, and constantly shifting dynamics. Beyond marking his solo debut, the release also carries symbolic weight as it signals the long-awaited return of CHALATRAZ (@chalatraz.id) after an extended period of silence.

Musically, “Hitam” is driven by aggressive guitar riffing, evolving progressive structures, and an oppressive dark atmosphere. The track moves fluidly between tension and release, with vocals weaving through sharp instrumental contrasts, amplifying the song’s emotional intensity from start to finish.

Lyrically, “Hitam” captures the inner scream of a soul at its lowest point—an unfiltered reflection on isolation, pressure, and the courage to confront one’s darkest inner space. To intensify this emotional narrative, Ardsumargono enlisted Enggar (@enggarsrinandhito), former vocalist of Beneath The Hermevoix, to deliver raw and visceral scream vocals.

Handled entirely by Ardsumargono—from songwriting and arrangement to full production—“Hitam” stands as a deeply personal statement and a clear manifestation of his focused, uncompromising artistic vision.

With “Hitam,” Ardsumargono offers more than just a debut single; he presents a fragment of an inner journey shaped by silence and inner conflict. The track opens the door to his solo project built on honesty and emotional intensity, while simultaneously marking the rebirth of CHALATRAZ as it enters a bold new creative chapter.
