Year: 2025

Jawbreaker Records proudly presents: Tyrannosatan – Babylons Skräck

Tyrannosatan is back to unleash a venomous strike of raw black/thrash brutality! Babylons Skräck, their filthy new 4-track tape, drags you through a hellish storm of aggression, chaos, and untamed energy. Picking up where their debut album Katakombernas Kakofoni left off, the Swedish maniacs continue to blend grimy black/thrash with influences from old-school death, doom, speed and heavy metal, pushing their sound to even filthier extremes and creating REAL METAL, reminiscent of metal in its purest form back in the mid-to-late 1980s.

Kicking off the tape, Vehmir channels the blood-soaked spirit of old-school death metal with savage vocals, venomous riffs, and midtempo breaks packed with divebombs before plunging back into the fray. The title track, Babylons Skräck, locks you into headbanging grooves that refuse to let go, while Bland stenar och rötter lures you in with an acoustic intro before smashing your face with a relentless assault of blackened thrash and thunderous basslines. The final blow comes with Astronomicon, opening with an ominous, doom-laden intro before erupting into a black metal whirlwind of shrieks, ripping guitars, and apocalyptic atmosphere.

With their new drummer Pestgam (Tyranex, Inisans) driving the chaos, Tyrannosatan has sharpened their claws and amplified their fury. Babylons Skräck is raw, uncompromising black/thrash mayhem at its finest. Surrender to the chaos or be left in the dust! This ferocious metal assault is recommended for fans of Infernäl Mäjesty, Powerlord, Deathhammer, Possessed, Hexecutor and Immortal. Are you ready to face the terror of Babylons Skräck?

Babylons Skräck will be released digitally and as a cassette tape on April 2, 2025.

Imagine being given a time machine by the higher entities—those we can only assume blessed the world with the existence of heavy metal. Now, this time machine takes you back to the early to mid-80s, where metal was an experimental genre in the UK and Sweden, a melting pot of sounds and influences. But instead of Europe, take the scene you find there and place it in modern-day Indonesia. Think of bands like Judas Priest, Thundersteel-era Riot, maybe even a touch of Dokken, Lizzy Borden and also of modern day bands like Ambush and RAM —combine their essence, stir in some Indonesian spirit, and you’ve got Tumenggung’s unmistakable style. The group’s new album Back on the Streets, set to release in January 2025, is a collection of everything an 80s metal heart could long for. From headbanging riffs to sing-along choruses, melodic song structures, and pit-opening anthems, Tumenggung delivers with force. They may draw clear inspiration from their 80s metal predecessors, but their unique sound is what truly makes them stand out.

Having started as a quartet back in 2007, Tumenggung has since slimmed down to a power trio, and their upcoming album shows a band that has matured musically. They’ve grown beyond the subgenre they were founded upon, noticeably adding dynamics and delving more into the raw energy of heavy metal, but still embracing their influences while crafting something uniquely their own. Back on the Streets showcases the band’s melodic side like never before with guitar leads right out of the 80s metal dream. Its analogue recording style gives the riffs and raw, unpolished vocals an organic, visceral edge. The 9 tracks on the album are bound to surprise you, taking you from soulful melodies to the kind of thrashing speed metal that gets your adrenaline pumping.

Fans of Judas Priest, Riot, RAM and anyone with a love for authentic, unfiltered 80s metal will find Tumenggung’s latest work a journey worth taking. Back on the Streets is out now!
