#BreakingNews : SOMNIUMSAIC Drops First Indonesian Single "Aksa Daksa" — Is a Major Label Shift Changing Their Sound?
MALANG, JAN 2026 — The underground scene is buzzing as SOMNIUMSAIC kicks off the year with a bold, atmospheric move. Their latest single, "Aksa Daksa," marks a significant milestone: it is their first-ever original Indonesian track and their debut release since signing with FireFly Records (Musica Studios).
But with a major label deal comes a major question: Is SOMNIUMSAIC selling out?
The Sound of Silence: Evolution or Compromise?
Known for their complex layers, the band has opted for a "simplified" musical approach in "Aksa Daksa." While critics might call it a commercial pivot, the band insists the shift is purely artistic. By stripping back the instrumentation, they’ve created a mellow, dark atmosphere designed to let the haunting lyrics take center stage.
> "The music was simplified to adapt to the theme... so that the lyrics are easier for listeners to absorb," the band stated.

The Inspiration: Terminal Lucidity
The soul of the song is rooted in a phenomenon known as Terminal Lucidity. Inspired by a poignant arc in the long-running series Grey’s Anatomy, the track explores the mysterious "rally" where a person in a coma suddenly regains consciousness for one final goodbye.
* Theme: The end of life and the space between existence.
* The Quote: "People Go, Memories Stay."
* The Message: A warm embrace for those grieving, reminding us that every sincere second has eternal meaning.
Visuals from the Grave: The "Aksa Daksa" Music Video
To match the heavy theme, the music video—featuring vocalist Alex—was shot at the Sukun Cemetery in Malang.
The title itself carries deep linguistic weight. Derived from Sanskrit and Javanese, "Aksa" (Far/Furthest) and "Daksa" (Body) combine to mean "The Furthest Body." In the context of the song, it represents a body that has lost its soul—separated by the veil of death, lost without an axis.
What's Next?
"Aksa Daksa" isn't just a standalone single; it is the second official teaser for SOMNIUMSAIC's highly anticipated second album. Whether this "mellow" era is a permanent change or a thematic detour remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the soul of the band is far from gone.
"Aksa Daksa" arrives on all streaming platforms on January 23, 2026.
