Santau - Sumpahan Pulau Puaka

Review by Santosh Mondal

Sumpahan Pulau Puaka is the latest album from the Malaysian metal band Santau. The album features nine tracks that showcase the band's unique blend of black metal, death metal, and traditional Malaysian music.

The album starts with the title track "Sumpahan Pulau Puaka," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its eerie atmosphere and haunting vocals. The next track, "Menghidupkan Neraka," features a more aggressive sound with fast-paced drums and heavy guitar riffs.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Kebenaran Tersembunyi," which features traditional Malaysian instruments such as the gambus and rebab, adding a unique element to the band's sound. The track also features some of the album's most memorable guitar solos.
