Dongker, Selamatan Album Baru Melankolia Radikal
lagu band. Berbeda dari karya sebelumnya yang keras dan cepat, album berisi 11 lagu ini mengeksplorasi spektrum musik lebih luas tanpa meninggalkan unsur punk, memadukan konsep melankolis dan radikal untuk menggambarkan perasaan yang mengakar akibat kerusakan sistem negara. Personel band berharap album ini dapat mengajak masyarakat meregulasi kebencian ke sumber masalah yang semestinya, bukan ke orang-orang terdekat.
