Bochum’s sludge/post-metal duo TranscomaR is back with a powerful lyric video for “Dictatorship”. The track, taken from their album The Sea of Trees, offers fans a brutal critique of society through raw and visceral sound.
Dictatorship” dissects the human condition under oppressive systems, exploring themes of greed, addiction, and societal decay. The band’s unique blend of sludge and post-metal seethes with tension, delivering a heavy-hitting anthem that amplifies despair and rage with an unflinching intensity. Lyrically and sonically, the track captures humanity’s relentless self-destructive spiral and the cycles of suffering we seem unable to break free from.
Watch the lyric video:
TranscomaR is a two-piece band from Bochum, Germany, formed by friends Ramin and Tobias in 2018. They initially met through a mutual friend while living in an alternative house community, where Ramin often joined Tobias’ punk band to jam. Over time, their shared passion for music led them to form their band. After playing on local stages and facing pandemic restrictions, they recorded their debut album, The Sea of Trees, in 2022, which was released a year later on Bandcamp. Their sound blends grunge, sludge, and post-metal, featuring heavy, down-tuned guitars, intense shouting, and occasional noise storms.
