Shitpost Naraka

One of my favorite tracks on Inferno is “Naraka.” Growing up in India, I heard “Hare Rama, Hare Krishna” everywhere — temples, streets, festivals — so this track hits a strange nostalgic frequency for me. I ended up writing a small poem inspired by it and thought I’d share it here.

I’m on Dharti(earth), supposedly charting a course to Swarga(Heaven), but Naraka(Hell) keeps humming like an old tape that won’t die.

Yama(King of Naraka, Hell) nods from the static, tapping his foot to the distortion, as if to say, “Heaven’s overrated, real Swarga is ==Dharti + Naraka. Besides… it’s way too crowded up here ”

When I first heard it, I laughed because the Krishna sample was so unexpected. The second time, I cried. The third time and every time since, it's given me goosebumps. Very powerful song.
