Hello World, I would like to introduce to you, the Indonesian Black/Doom hordes Djiwo. Actually I don't really into the Doom Metal scene but I really love Black Metal so I will talk about this band, especially their first album "Cakra Bhirawa". Djiwo, formed in 2013 and consists of two members, Djiwo Ratriarkha and Fancy Burn, I got this information from Encyclopaedia Metallum. They released their first album "Cakra Bhirawa" in August 2014.
When I heard the words "Black Doom", I always thought about Barathrum and yes I think that some of the riffs in this album similar to Barathrum but with a slower tempos. And the double bass drumming makes me think of Loits, Black Metal act from Estonia, although Loits is not a Black Doom band. What I like about "Cakra Bhirawa" is there is a bluesy guitar solo but somehow it also contains a little bit of Javanese influence. And the vocals, the high-pitch shrieking vocals, reminds me of Alghazanth, a Symphonic Black Metal band from Finland.
For me, "Cakra Bhirawa" is a mix between Loits, Barathrum, and Alghazanth. The minus point of this album is I really don't know the lyrics, and I don't know what what He is saying in this album. I don't know if their lyrics are English or Bahasa Indonesia, or maybe I'm just stupid. Maybe I would rate it 79 out of 100.
Thanks for reading, sorry for my bad grammar, Terima Kasih!!
