"Baba Hargila" is a powerful and purposeful piece of post-metal from Bimurta that won't let you ignore it. The song's bold mix of traditional East Indian instruments with huge metal soundscapes makes it stand out right away. It sounds both old and new at the same time. It's heavy with meaning.
The story voice is what really makes this song stand out. The lyrics are haunting and painfully relevant because they are told from the point of view of a greater adjutant stork, a carrion bird that is seeing the environment fall apart. Bimurta uses a lot of different vocal styles, like spoken parts, raw aggression, and calm melodic moments, to show the emotional tension between destruction and survival. The singing sounds like it has been through what the song is talking about.
The music has a slow, steady tempo that lets tension build before it crashes into thick, textured riffs. The mood is dark, thoughtful, and creepy, but also strangely beautiful. The best parts are when the indigenous rhythms and heavy guitar layers come together in a way that feels both global and grounded, rather than just trying to be different for the sake of being different. Bimurta shows that they are an artist who isn't afraid to push listeners' buttons while giving them something strong to hold on to. This is the kind of work that gets people to pay attention and respect it.
