Jawbreaker Records are proud to present Back on the Streets, the sophomore album from Indonesiaโs premier heavy metal powerhouse, Tumenggung.
Imagine being given a time machine by the higher entitiesโthose we can only assume blessed the world with the existence of heavy metal. Now, this time machine takes you back to the early to mid-80s, where metal was an experimental genre in the UK and Sweden, a melting pot of sounds and influences. But instead of Europe, take the scene you find there and place it in modern-day Indonesia. Think of bands like Judas Priest, Thundersteel-era Riot, maybe even a touch of Dokken, Lizzy Borden and also of modern day bands like Ambush and RAM โcombine their essence, stir in some Indonesian spirit, and youโve got Tumenggungโs unmistakable style. The groupโs new album Back on the Streets, set to release in January 2025, is a collection of everything an 80s metal heart could long for. From headbanging riffs to sing-along choruses, melodic song structures, and pit-opening anthems, Tumenggung delivers with force. They may draw clear inspiration from their 80s metal predecessors, but their unique sound is what truly makes them stand out.
Fans of Judas Priest, Riot, and anyone with a love for authentic, unfiltered 80s metal will find Tumenggungโs latest work a journey worth taking. Back on the Streets will be out January 17, 2025 and pre-orders will open on November 1, 2024 through
