Hani Abadi bring an oriental sense in the dark music with "Dementia"!

Hani Abadi blends his metal origins with the darkest sides of sound and the grunge feelings. "Dementia" opens the album, "Tiamat", released on November 30th, 2023, with haunting melodies and introspective lyrics. It's a journey through the mind's labyrinth, exploring the blurred lines between reality and dreams. 

"Dementia" is beautifully blending elements of oriental mysticism with the raw power of dark alternative. There are some haunting melodies played on traditional instruments, which immediately setting an ominous tone. The oriental influences are woven throughout the song with intricate scales and modal harmonies. These elements not only add depth and texture to the music but also transport the listener to mystery and intrigue sonic landscapes.

"Hani Abadi," as a solo project, encapsulated music and a lineage traced back thousands of years, growing up with Metallica's "Master of Puppets." as a soundtrack of my youth. Rebellious in a region of strict societies, manifested in the creation of "Bilocate," a dark oriental metal whose seed has grown to tour and appear in major European festivals and rave reviews from respected publications while forbidden in the hometown.

"Every river has a point of origin, and mine was the Middle East—a rich culture I brought to the Bay Area of California, which I now call home. I was born in a country that no longer exists on the world map, "Yugoslavia," adding another layer to my heritage."
