“All Uncertain” arrives together with “Exile”, the debut EP by Ko.Ma, recorded and mixed at Factory Studio in Brescia in collaboration with Superbia Music Group. The project comes from a band formed in late 2023, built by people already familiar with the mechanics of extreme metal — live rooms, rehearsal spaces, repetition, pressure.
Ko.Ma stands for Kill Others, Man Alive, a name that points less toward provocation and more toward confrontation. The EP works as a short, deliberate narrative: a movement through instability, alienation, fear, and the slow realization that none of these states are abstract. They are lived, internal, and persistent. “Exile” is structured as an inward journey, not a collection of detached tracks.
The sound sits between classic death metal weight and contemporary deathcore structure. Riffs are tight and controlled, drums push forward without excess decoration, vocals stay harsh and direct. The production avoids smoothing edges. “We didn’t want to sound perfect or polished. We wanted to sound real to speak about pain, emptiness, and the violence that exists within us all.” That intent carries through the EP without being overstated.
“All Uncertain” frames the emotional core of the record. Time moves fast, expectations close in, and the sense of falling behind becomes suffocating. The song centers on fragility — being aware of it, resisting it, failing to escape it. The world it sketches is damaged and disillusioned, populated by people who are worn down but still holding onto warped versions of hope. There is no clarity offered, no clean resolution. The only stable element is impermanence, life continuing while everything else slips out of reach.
“Exile” grows out of a broader tension that feels familiar: instability, disconnection, and the quiet exhaustion of modern life. The EP follows an individual caught between internal collapse and an external reality that leaves little room to breathe. Each track functions as a fragment of that struggle, touching fear, anger, loneliness, and a stubborn awareness of still being here. The record doesn’t frame this as triumph. It frames it as confrontation.
Across the EP, aggression is present but measured. The music doesn’t rush to overwhelm; it presses steadily. There’s an emphasis on balance — between violence and structure, between emotional exposure and restraint. The intention is clear without being loudly announced: to give shape to conflict and leave space for listeners to recognize themselves in it, to feel less isolated inside their own pressure.
The band is already looking ahead, reshaping both lineup and identity, leaning toward heavier and more experimental ground. “We’re just getting started. The plan is to hit every stage, every festival, and destroy everything in our path. We want the world to remember our name.” Taken in context, it reads less like bravado and more like momentum — a continuation rather than a climax.
