How A Local Black Metal Band Took Their Fury To Parliament
If you’ve ever been to a Mirthless show, you know exactly what we mean when we say the energy is pure fire.
The kind that doesn’t just burn—it ignites. There’s an almost primal urgency to their sound, an unrelenting force that grips you by the throat and refuses to let go. But what happens when that same energy spills beyond the stage? When the rage that fuels their music turns into something far more potent—political action?
JUICE sat down with Mirthless after their recent blitz through Parliament (yes, you read that right), a student-led protest, and a couple of blistering live shows that saw them screaming about existential despair one night and systemic rot the next. From the underground to the streets to the hallowed halls of government, the band has become an undeniable force in Malaysia’s music and activist landscape.
And if you think they’re just a black metal band who got lost on the way to a gig, think again.
