You criticized imperialism while bombing our villages
And your own people are dying in here
And you just don’t care, don’t care
A war waged in arrogance collapses into chaos. Invaders march with blind confidence, only to be swallowed by the very land they sought to control. The jungle watches, it whispers, it strikes. Promises of swift conquest rot into years of suffering as soldiers lose their minds, their lives, their purpose. The destruction they inflicted circles back, merciless and unrelenting. Ideals crumble, justice turns vengeful, and the battlefield speaks its final truth…Death always comes to collect his debts.
Indonesian goth-pop duo Camlann (Fauzan Pratama and Ony Godfrey) ignite a firestorm with Jungle Terror, an unflinching anthem against colonization. The song seethes, sneers, refuses to bow. Its lyrics cut like bayonets, warning that invasion breeds resistance, that no empire stands unchallenged. Indonesia’s wounds run deep, their history tangled with violent, greedy and cruel foreign hands…but tragically, their struggle is not theirs alone. The echoes of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand also ring through every line: a shared defiance, a bitter inheritance. Camlann’s anger fuels a still-raging fire, a warning to those who mistake silence for submission. You came for conquest. Now death comes for you.
Jungle Terror is a storm of post-punk bite, electronic rock chaos, dark disco sway, and industrial force. The rhythm stomps, relentless and unyielding, a war drum pounding through thick air. Pratama orchestrates a sound that seethes and smolders, while Godfrey’s voice cuts like steel.
The video, directed by Hanan Bagas and the band, thrusts Camlann into the jungle as they transform into guerrilla fighters armed with history and defiance. Donning the seraung of their ancestors, they stand, they defend, they refuse to be erased. Archival footage of historic battles flickers against the present, a grief-stricken reminder that the past is never past. The cycles of conquest and cruelty must break. This is Camlann at their sharpest—a hypnotic hook exposing decades of stolen futures.
