BONG-RA, The Answer Lies In The Black Void, Odion
Bong-Ra, Jason Köhnen's electronic musical alter ego, came to life in 1996. Previously a bassist and drummer in metal bands, he is at home in a multitude of musical styles. The Dutch-born talent started his new career as a DJ with an electronic flavour, but soon moved on to writing his own music.

The Answer Lies In The Black Void is a collaboration between Martina Horváth and Jason Köhnen. Horváth (also singer for the avant-garde metal project Thy Catafalque) and Köhnen (Celestial Season, The Lovecraft Sextet, Bong-Ra, ex-The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble), the duo also work together in their mystical electronica music project MANSUR.
Horváth and Köhnen joined forces through their passion for all things Doom, presenting their personal take on the Doom genre in all its beautiful darkness and from all possible angles. Bringing their own mix of Transcendental Metal.
After their immensely well received debut album ‘Forlorn’ (2021), The Answer Lies In The Black Void returned with their second album ‘Thou Shalt’ (2023), both released on Burning World Records, and have currently started working on their third opus.
The Answer Lies In The Black Void performs live as a 5 piece, with Botond Fogl (guitar), Attila Kovacs (guitar) and Mark Potkovacz (drums) part of the full line-up.
Dürer Garden
Recently moved from its original location, the Dürer is a staple of Budapest's metal scene. But don't be scared, it's worth a visit even if you just want to have a couple of drinks by the Danube. From spring, of course.
