"Mutawwa"is the 3rd single song unleashed by violent groove metal band CRIMENA and it's also the first official recording that features their new vocalist - Indonesian born Bagus "Bob" Stesa.
Featured on their debut album, "Chapter One: Divine Betrayal"(previously reviewed here on Metalhead Spotted), "Mutawwa" is a conceptual song that aims to expose the immoral dogmas that fuel the existence of the controversial mutaween (Islamic religious police). The record as a whole is a huge slap to all forms of organised religion and "Mutawwa" might quite be the epitome of it.
It turns out that new vocalist Bob impacted the band's identity in a very interesting and positive way; since his induction in the pack, CRIMENA has done a handful of gigs and the man has been warmly welcomed by the public. Nonetheless his vocals display a very dominating, raw and ruthless sound that perfectly fits the band's musical orientation.
While exposing a piece of the young scene from the city of Craiova (Romania), the video also indicates a group that is continuously growing and pushing forward, regardless of what obstacles, these guys turn them into opportunities and that pinpoints the maturity of the now 4 year old project that is CRIMENA.
Never wasting time, the strive to record a 2nd album has already began and according to the band's social media activity, there are some positive vibes that foretell new music and touring.
"Chapter One: Divine Betrayal" is available for purchase on google play, itunes, amazon, cdbaby.
