THE HARDER THEY COME: KOMUNAL - PANORAMA 12" VINYL REISSUE PROJECT





At last, the masterpiece debut album from the most ferocious Indonesian heavy metal band Komunal has been found. Komunal released their debut album Panorama in 2004 in cassette format through now-defunct Hamson Killer Records. 

Like other monumental album did, the Indonesian heavy metal scene would never be the same again. The debut album, which contains nine classic songs, is a mix between stoner doom, punk and heavy metal which was sounded very bold ahead from their local contemporaries. 

They developed their own style without trying to be someone they are not. After all these years, the cassette version is pretty hard to find. The price sky-rocketed. Only few had survived and the master file was lost.

After series of effort to find the master file, Sonic Funeral Records is proud to announce that we will be working a reissue project of this masterpiece on 12” vinyl format slated for 2014 release to commemorate their efforts and mark the 10 years of the album.

The original master file will be re-mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Sunn O))), From Ashes Rise, High on Fire) of Audiosiege in Portland, Oregon.

We have also appointed the genius Morrg to work his magic to create the artwork.

Once again, the Indonesian heavy metal scene would never be the same again.
