PRESS RELEASE:
Formed in early 2024, MAUT is an Indonesian death metal band consisting of Agung (vocals), Arief (drums), Riyo (bass), and Irriszka (guitars). What began as a side project born from a shared passion for extreme music quickly evolved into a serious creative force dedicated to delivering uncompromising death metal with meaningful lyrical themes.
MAUT introduced themselves through the release of two debut singles, "Venomous Dominion" and "Mass Produced Salvation," establishing a sound rooted in relentless riffing, crushing rhythms, and intense brutality while addressing the darker realities of modern civilization. After nearly a year of songwriting, arranging, and refining their material, MAUT completed their debut full-length album, EXTINCTION.
EXTINCTION is a concept album that confronts humanity's self-inflicted collapse. It explores the devastating consequences of greed, exploitation, and the relentless pursuit of power that continue to push the world toward irreversible destruction. Drawing inspiration from real events occurring across Indonesia and around the globe, the album addresses environmental devastation, deforestation, species extinction, poverty, modern slavery, war, genocide, and the systematic destruction of both humanity and nature. Each song represents another chapter in the downfall of civilization, exposing the violence and corruption hidden beneath the illusion of progress.
Rather than offering false hope, EXTINCTION forces listeners to confront uncomfortable truths. Through crushing death metal and uncompromising lyrics, MAUT presents a bleak reflection of the modern world while asking one final question: How much time remains before everything disappears?
The album's lyrics were written by Priyanka Agung, whose writing combines social criticism, environmental concerns, and human tragedy into a dark and powerful narrative.
The cover artwork was created by Makami_SDT, visually translating the album's themes of extinction, decay, and global collapse into a haunting piece of art. Instrument tracking took place at Kawitan Records Lab, with Irriszka serving as the recording engineer and handling the complete mixing process. Vocal recording and mastering were completed at Incun Studio, resulting in a massive, aggressive, and dynamic production while preserving the raw intensity essential to death metal.
With EXTINCTION, MAUT delivers more than just another death metal record. It is a statement of anger, awareness, and resistance against a world consumed by greed and destruction—a soundtrack to humanity's slow march toward extinction.
