Tirant

**Tirant** is a passionate metalcore/hardcore band hailing from Jakarta, Indonesia, known for blending aggressive riffs with melodic undertones and socially conscious lyrics. Emerging in the mid-2000s, they’ve built a dedicated following in Southeast Asia’s underground scene with their raw energy and themes tackling personal struggles and societal issues. Their 2012 album *Eksistensi* remains a fan favorite, featuring emotional depth and versatility that shines through in both original and acoustic versions of tracks like *Senandika*. Recent releases like *Trauma* and *Mortal* continue their tradition of cathartic, high-energy music, while alternate takes and stripped-down arrangements showcase their adaptability. Tirant’s DIY ethos and connection to their community keep them a vital force in Indonesia’s alternative music landscape.
