Utarid
de[ad]mo — EP 7"

Utarid's de[ad]mo 7" EP is a seminal release in Malaysia's screamo scene, marking the band's raw and emotive debut. Originally self-released as a demo cassette tape in 2004, limited to 100 copies, it was reissued in 2014 by Framecode Records to commemorate its 10th anniversary.

These songs showcase Utarid's intense blend of screamo, emo-violence, and hardcore punk. Drawing inspiration from bands like Orchid, The Red Scare and other Ebulition titles, the EP delivers a visceral listening experience characterized by chaotic rhythms, anguished vocals, and poignant lyrics.

The original cassette release featured distinctive packaging, including brown paper wrapping, a typewriter-font lyrics booklet, and a silkscreened patch, reflecting the DIY ethos of the band . The 2014 reissue maintained this spirit, offering the EP on one-sided 7" vinyl in random colors.

de[ad]mo stands as a testament to Utarid's contribution to the Southeast Asian screamo landscape, capturing the raw emotion and intensity that define the genre.
