Batu Nisan

"Batu nisan" means "tombstone" in Indonesian. Founded in mid-2004 by Ary Nisan as a black metal band, they switched to gothic metal in 2008. When the band's founder died on July 24, 2017, the band continued with early member Dyanti as a female vocalist and new members, especially Eanggy as a new guitarist. In 2023, Eanggy announced that he had kicked out the early member, Dyanti since 2022. However, Dyanti continued performing under the original name, Batu Nisan. Additionally, Dyanti considered the newer lineup to be Eanggy's version. Not to be confused with black metal band Batu Nisan from Semarang, Central Java, which recorded a song titled "Lembah Sengsara".
