Bong-Ra, the central project from Jason Köhnen, who over the past 25 years has used the alias to craft a diverse body of consistently challenging experimental work as one of the primary acts to meld underground Metal with electronics. The ever-evolving entity now returns with a new album, Black Noise, set for release on February 21st 2025 via Debemur Morti Productions. Alongside disclosed details, you can also stream a video for the first streaming single "Dystopic".

Jason comments on the first unveiled single: "For the album, the songs are mostly composed "beat driven," as I still have the formula to start with the rhythms first when diving into the Bong-Ra project. It's still a natural reflex, I guess. The guitars are in most cases also rhythmical additions to the songs more than "old-school riffing". I think this gives it that industrial feel. A lot of noise loops were composed to add to the atmosphere and the glitchiness of the overall sound. A lot of detail was put into the textures that lie in the compositions; I think it gives the album its specific chaotic sounding vibe."
