#BreakingNews : HEGEMONY OF GOD Unveils Cinematic "Damned (Orchestra Version)" Featuring Kaffah Almira
CIANJUR, INDONESIA – Following the critical success of their AMI Award-nominated album Ethereal, Cianjur’s premier metal force, Hegemony of God, has officially released the music video for their latest single, "Damned (Orchestra Version)" featuring Kaffah Almira. The video premiered on January 11, 2026, on their official YouTube channel.
A Cinematic Transformation
Originally a standout track from their 2024 sophomore album Ethereal, "Damned" broke the mold of the band's traditional sound with its calmer, alternative metal nuances. This unique atmosphere inspired the band to push the composition further, resulting in a sweeping, emotional orchestral reimagining.
The production of this version was an ambitious undertaking. After facing delays due to the massive scale of the orchestral arrangement, the project was finally realized in late 2025.
A Tribute of Profound Meaning
Beyond the musical evolution, this release carries immense emotional weight. "Damned (Orchestra Version)" serves as a heartfelt tribute to the late wife of Hegemony of God’s vocalist. This personal loss has transformed the track into a raw, cinematic monument of memory and faith, making it perhaps the most intimate release in the band's history.

About Hegemony of God
Founded in late 2011 in Cianjur, West Java, Hegemony of God is more than just a metal band; they are a philosophical entity. Their name reflects a core belief: that despite human paradoxes and worldly logic, all existence—heaven, hell, good, and evil—remains under the absolute sovereignty of the Almighty (Allah SWT).
* 2017: Released their debut album "Prahara", establishing a foundation of aggressive, dark, and narrative-driven metal.
* 2024: Released "Ethereal", a musical metamorphosis exploring the duality of faith and doubt. The album earned a nomination for Best Metal Album at the 2024 AMI Awards.
Current Lineup:
* Rizky Dalang – Vocals
* Lucky Avrillia – Guitar
* Rey Prayoga – Guitar
* Bintang Alvaro – Bass
* Iam – Drums
From the gritty riffs of Prahara to the cinematic layers of Ethereal, Hegemony of God continues to use metal as a medium for spiritual reflection in an increasingly chaotic world.
