A gig held at The Island on Saturday 12th November. The event starts at 19:30pm.

This evening will also feature a screening of 'East of Hell', a music documentary by Matthieu Canaguier of Aluk Todolo.

"Surabaya : a maze of concrete and iron. At the heart of the city, a whole generation of young Indonesians gather around an underground music : Black Metal. This movement originated in Europe, has been reinvented by local groups: Western codes mingle with indonesian beliefs.
The film follows the destinies of three members of the music scene: Tony, both showman and underground businessman, Eric, the clan leader, the veteran, and Andung, mystical and lonely. They make us discover lively music, cathartic, both blasphemous and sacred."

Aluk Todolo
http://bit.ly/2cTOsuM
Aluk Todolo is an instrumental power trio performing Occult Rock since 2004. Their music is a methodical exploration of the powers of musical trance. Part occult black metal fiend and part snide kraut menace, the band conjures rabid obsessive rhythms and abyssal disharmonic guitars, subliminal spiritualist vibrations and bizarre, magick summonings.
Aluk Todolo reduces psychedelic improvisation to a bare, telluric instrumentation, in which dry, spare percussion grievously mines the scrapes, shrieks and shimmer of mutated guitar and bass. The band’s sound is monolithic and stabbing, hypnotic but unpredictable, minimalist yet teeming: a dangerous, noxious coil of all things black.
The name Aluk Todolo was brought back from a mountainous region of South Sulawesi in Indonesia, it’s an ancient religion with animist beliefs meaning «the Way of the Ancestors».
