Do you think I care and want
To please your stupid grotesque fantasies?
You hate me wearing suits
Just because you’re jealous
That I’m way more handsome
Than you will ever be, bitch!
Music has long served as both a mirror and a megaphone for women, reflecting their trials and amplifying their voices in a world where harassment and abuse too often go unspoken. It becomes a refuge when silence threatens to smother, a channel for anguish to transform into strength. Alanis Morissette and Liz Phair stand as luminous examples of this alchemy. Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill unleashed a torrent of righteous rage and betrayal, her voice slicing through complacency, forcing the world to hear the pain and fury of exploitation. Liz Phair took the sharp edges of gender dynamics and turned them into incisive lyrics, threading vulnerability with defiance. Both transformed their personal suffering into anthems of resilience, offering strength to those who feel voiceless. In their defiance and honesty, they’ve built a foundation where countless others can confront, process, and rise, unshackled by shame.
Now Indonesian dark disco duo Camlann steps forward on the subject with ferocious resolve, delivering Ronny (Burn in Hell)—a scorching anthem born from lead singer Ony Godfrey’s own harrowing experience of sexual harassment as a teenager. Addressing the cruelty of abuse with unflinching honesty, the track transforms rage into resonance, a declaration of defiance for women who share similar scars. The song dismantles oppressive fantasies, asserting autonomy and strength, while condemning the abuser to a symbolic reckoning, turning pain into empowerment and resilience.
This release signals a seismic shift for Camlann, leaping from their synth-laden dark pop origins into the stormy realms of gothic rock and post-punk. The ferocity of driving rhythms and thunderous instrumentation mirrors the song’s emotional intensity, amplifying its raw message of confrontation and empowerment. Fauzan Pratama’s commanding arrangements provide the perfect canvas for Godfrey’s poignant delivery, forging a sound that is both defiant and transformative. With Ronny (Burn in Hell), Camlann channels deeply personal pain into universal rebellion.
The DIY video shows Camlann’s raw power in performance in all their signature lo-fi glory. Watch below.
As Camlann ventures into uncharted sonic seas, they stir up a storm of sound, blending shadows and beats with brazen boldness. From dark disco’s dance floor to gritty post-punk’s grimy grooves, they shape their soundscape without shackles or restraints. Their debut, The Forgotten Lost Fragments, was followed by Circa 1983, and they tossed in tracks like Midnight Euphoria and Charming Deceiver before unleashing their third album, Train to 86th Street. Always pushing boundaries, Camlann crafts a concoction of melodies that straddle the line between shadowy and soulful.
