Jangar is a heavy metal band from Denpasar, Bali. The band formed in 2015 by Gusten Keniten (vocal) Raibio (bass), Pasek Darmawaysya (drum), and Dewa Adi (guitar). Even though they are categorized primarily as heavy metal music, group’s members cited band such as Clutch, The Sword, Deep Purple, Red Fang, and Kyuss as influences, resulting the group’s style generally classified as stoner rock. The band actively engages in political, social, and environmental activism, and some of their songs are very scathing in their allusions to the use of synthetic drugs and the MSG food conspiracy. The four members of Jangar have a lively yet engaging stage presence, and their live performances are known for being tight and full of sing-along moments. 
In 2015, the band released a three-way split cassette with Bandung’s grindcore unit, Terapi Urine and Jakarta’s heavy punk band, Piston. Jangar’s first EP was released independently in 206, followed by a reissue of the EP in 2017 under Trill/Cult Records. from 2019 - 2022, Jangar officially released their debut album Jelang Malam and 3 more single, Rijang, Kali, and Samsara, under Berita Angkasa Records.
