Summary
In this episode, we speak with Karina Utomo about her longstanding work with extreme metal band High Tension, and her more recent undertakings with experimental project Rinuwat. While these projects may appear to discuss distinct contexts at first glance, Karina explains how both are vehicles for her exploration of different aspects of her Indonesian cultural heritage and research of Indonesian historical events. Lyrics from High Tension begin to reflect on revelations drawn from Karina's engagement with survivors of Indonesia's 1965-1966 anti-communist purge. Her compositions for Rinuwat then bring further focus to Indonesian history and cultural knowledge via a combination of traditional gamelan notation and Javanese cultural references written in Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) and Old Javanese (Bahasa Kawi). Ultimately, Karina views both projects as methods of decolonizing metal and tapping into the sonic power that ancient languages and cultures offer.

Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 40: Paul Masvidal of Cynic (Miami/LA, USA)
Release Date: 05/21/2023
Description: Welcome to the 40th episode of Lingua Brutallica! To celebrate this milestone, we present a very special episode featuring Paul Masvidal of genre-defying Cynic. Paul takes us on a guided tour through the enormous breadth of lyrical material he composed over the span of his 35-year career in the industry. He details how the lyrics that accompanied each of Cynic's albums, whether more earthly or extra-terrestrial, reflected different moments and events his life, as well as the thoughts and feelings they generated. Though we frequently attempt to intellectualise lyrical choices that Paul describes as the unstructured products of creative flow, he graciously takes us through the process of cultivating an increasingly minimalist lyrical style, including writing songs without any lyrics at all. Importantly, whether his lyrics be dense or entirely absent, Paul's lyrics are works of love and truth - both his own and that for and about the wider world. We invite our listeners to explore Cynic's illustrious lyrical catalogue here: https://listen.cyniconline.com/bio

Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 24 (Part 1): Aaron Carey of Nechochwen (West Virginia)
Release Date: 05/07/2022
Description: For Episode 24, we sat down with Aaron Carey of Nechochwen for what ended up being a THREE HOUR chat about his blackened folk metal features lyrics that address native American history, culture and mythology. While we are no stranger to long episodes here, we decided to do something unprecedented for Lingua Brutallica: split the episode in half. In our first release, we begin with Aaron’s explanation of how his exploration of Native American themes in his lyrics is part of his personal investigation of the lives of his Shawnee and Lenaupe ancestors and his history in West Virginia, and details the incredible lengths he has gone in attempt to preserve the languages and traditions of the land. In particular, Aaron talks about how he works with and integrates resources from historical texts he has collected, some of which date back many centuries, into his lyrics, with Nechochwen’s lyrics straddling the lines between the personal, the instructive, and, of course, the metal, with Aaron also explaining how metal was the only suitable genre to convey the stories he wanted to tell. Stay tuned for the second half of this video next, as well as a full live video of our chat where you can see Aaron display the linguistic and historical resources he discusses throughout this two-part episode.
