DISSENTOR weaves this narrative through Aquib, Vedanta, Arun, and Krzysztof in the debut EP “Flagella” portraying the unspoken corrupted path to purification, of a belief in a saviour, awaiting in the perfect irony, becoming an absurdist trap between worship and torment.
Composing within the lightless Delhi dungeons, Aquib chanced upon Vedanta after a decade of no contact on a lifeless afternoon of 2020, sharing opposing worldviews of internalised mass belief and hypocrisy, that would lead to their first ever collaboration, DISSENTOR. Arun soon joined to offer subterranean lows in complete atonal despair, while Krzysztof became the final piece, lending his finesse to percuss through the EP’s oceanic chaos.
Songs for debut EP titled “Flagella” were composed, written, engineered and produced by Aquib Rahman. EP was mixed and mastered by Aquib Rahman. Cover artwork was done by Peapounder. Drum parts were recorded by Polish well known drummer Krzysztof Klingbein who is drummer of Totenmesse, live drummer of Austrian Belphegor and in the past was working with such great bands as Vader, Hate, Batushka, Kranium and more.
“Flagella” EP will be released on April 24, 2025 in digital format and limited 7″ vinyl as independent release. Pre-order is available at Bandcamp (link here).
