Tom Shepherd The carefully constructed weight of nihilistic sludge almost - but not quite - crushes hopeful melodies that reach up from the morass of human suffering. Top 10 of 2024. CRUSHINGLY heavy live. Favorite track: Manure.

Luke If anyone caught the stellar split between Mumuksu and Iravu recently, check this immediately. Trishay returns to full band duty to produce this brilliant piece of socially conscious existential doom. Suitably angry and limbering. The title might make you think of Primitive Man, and if you like them, all the more reason to jump on this. I'm looking forward to going through the back catalogue.

Richard Allan Bates The nihilistic grind of Runtuh’s doom is countervailed by social messages that speak to an optimistic future. Subjugate yourself to the depths of their world. Favorite track: Way of the Void.

Manure 06:52
Ambiguous man He lost his way Ambiguous man He sold his spirit for all that is hollow He lost his way again Along the path to the primal sun Destroy everything Destroy everything Surrender to light Ambiguous man Unravel the self Ambiguous man Relinquish your pride Arrogant man You raze your path to the primal sun Destroy the self Ambiguous man You don't see
2.
Surrender our hearts to the open sky Butcher the thoughts that divide you A barren consciousness I seek Don’t need your approval nor sympathy This is the way of the void This is the way of the void, sucker Do you perceive the depth of the mountain, the trees, the scorch of the sun Are you already dead The agony devours my soul I hate your pretentious fucking face Your futile hopes of glamour and fame Erodes the flame, the light of existence It renders you helpless, a slave Are you Free From your mortal wounds Push through the pain Destroy everything
3.
This is your last betrayal A reign of disgust Utter hopelessness Liar Fuck your morality I'll sever your will to live Scum of the earth

At his Worst 08:24
Worship the air I breathe Finding my way to the void of the sun I've given it all that I could But I was abandoned by those that I love Given my all my everything Still I was abandoned by those that I gave My all Hold on to your lies Don’t need your sympathy Hold on to your lies Don’t need your sympathy False concern, judgement Builds my rage No, No more Fear lives in my heart I dont give a fuck What you say or do to me Abandoned What the fuck Are these open wounds Alone At my worst At my worst
5.
Cull 09:52
Your broken desires Left you hollow, empty Naive is the coward Whom succumbs to the righteous Waving the flag of conformity Why don't you stand alone Do you question why you suffer Selfish minds prey on desire We service the cleansing of liars I’ll watch you burn, in the fire Die Immoral intentions Breeds contempt for another Hostile we are Yet proudly we claim the divine Embrace the cull Its the only way out Cull Cull the righteous Cull Cull the pious

Tumbuk Rusuk 11:40
We came from the ocean’s eye And now we’re filled with lies Cleanse my raging soul We came from the ocean’s eye And now we’re filled with lies Cleanse my raging soul Make me whole again I lost my head I hate your smug entitled face Why don’t you see These open wounds I will not rest Until I’m free Burn alive in the raging sun Burning void screaming empty pain Burn alive in the raging sun This burning void lives within me A burning fire Lives in my heart, it rages on Oppressor, Liar I Spit on your grave You lying sack of shit There’s No more devotion, No empathy

about

Malaysian Doom/sludge-ridden trio Runtuh returns with their third full-length album release this year entitled 'Ambiguous Man'. Following the release of their sophomore album in 2022 'Erosion of the Self' in parallel with a long successful year of local & international touring across Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia & Japan, the band took some time off upon their return to retreat to the solitude of the studio and embark upon the exploration of new creative material. The end result of which constitutes their latest album 'Ambiguous Man' that humbly offers up six fresh new sonic movements that aim to penetrate the boundaries of psychological violence, primal premonitions of individual/collective suffering, moral hypocrisies and quiet introspection. In terms of musical style, 'Ambiguous Man' sees the band exploring newer, darker territory of drone doom, blackened-ridden riffs, tribal drumming and harsher, rich ambient FX/atmospherics whilst still maintaining their signature blend of unforgiving, relentless aural punishment across every song - with the primary purpose to accurately reflect the complexity of the title theme that the album intends to posit for internal reflection and honest introspection.



"O' Ambiguous Man, you raze your path to the primal sun. DESTROY EVERYTHING" - RUNTUH
