Five days before official release, Industrial Metal pioneer Jason Köhnen (THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE, THE LOVECRAFT SEXTET) premieres the full stream of "Esoterik", the new album from his primary project BONG-RA, on DMP's YouTube channel. Listen here:
BONG-RA's signature low-frequency weight, cinematic horn arrangements and percussive austerity remain at the core, but on "Esoterik" they are recontextualised, distorted, mechanized and reforged into a denser, more monolithic sound. The result is an album that feels both primal and post-apocalyptic, ritualistic yet modern, symbolic yet physical.
A spiritual successor to 2025's "Black Noise", the record delves deeper into the shadows and luminescence of the occult, expanding the ritualistic atmospheres explored on previous albums "Antediluvian" (2018) and "Meditations" (2022).
Köhnen comments on this fusion:
"I was curious to see the result of the fusion between the styles of the previous albums with the new path taken. Apart from there being a lot of similarities in atmosphere I wanted to be able to also continue the line with the more occult and archaic themes which set a great contrast with the futuristic dystopian atmosphere of (2025 preceding album) "Black Noise". The idea was already born during the creative process of "Black Noise", it was just a matter of patience to put those ideas into fruiting a year or so later."
