about
Bandung's very own gloom-and/or-doom quartet formed in 2009 by campus buddies Haikal Azizi (vocals/guitar), Mirfak Prabowo (bass guitar), Bob Edrian Triadi (guitar), and Risyad Tabattala (drums), initially taking on the name LOUD and started writing songs while frequenting campus shows altogether before changing their name to Sigmun in 2011 and releasing songs on their own.
With Bob Edrian leaving the group in 2010 replaced by Nurachman Andika a while after, and Pratama Kusuma Putra replacing Risyad Tabattala on drums in 2011, Sigmun's early recordings feature a couple of different configurations of personnel, notably the 2012 self-titled EP (which was not released until 2013, and also alternatively dubbed “MMXII EP”) and their eponymously-titled track for the Indonesian release of 2011 film The Raid with The SIGIT's Rektivianto Yoewono as Mooner (as it featured Risyad Tabattala on drums).
After releasing a three-way split LP with SURI and Jelaga through Orange Cliff Records in 2012, Sigmun released their debut EP “Cerebro” through Yogyakarta-based net label Yes No Wave Music in 2013 and their 2012-recorded eponymous EP later that year through Cactus Records (now Tandang Records). Their 2015 LP “Crimson Eyes” was dubbed as one of the 15 Best Indonesian Albums by Rolling Stone Indonesia that year and managed to gain positive responses from critics, ultimately leading to a wider range of audience. Sigmun released two singles in 2018 and 2019, titled “Behelit” and “Minotaur” respectively before Pratama and Nurachman left the band in 2020.
Musically influenced by the Mighty Sabbath and the Zeps, their interest in Sigmund Freud concepts of unconscious mind and their love for the whimsical world of surrealism are evidently showing in their lyrics. Enjoying the exploration of absurdism and juxtaposition in their writings, Dali, Magritte and Chirico might have influenced them as much as Page and Iommi did, paintings made out of hazy poetry and heavy echoed chords.

lyrics
Those shiny suits of yours
Your mansions and your stores
None will be left of you
But bones
Your pretty wife and kids
Those fancy cars on the streets
None will be left of you
But bones
I am no other than you
This filthy world I'm through
None will be left of me
But bones
Our dirty minds and thougts
And all those lies we bought
None will be left of us
But bones
Your mansions and your stores
None will be left of you
But bones
Your pretty wife and kids
Those fancy cars on the streets
None will be left of you
But bones
I am no other than you
This filthy world I'm through
None will be left of me
But bones
Our dirty minds and thougts
And all those lies we bought
None will be left of us
But bones
