Badura

Badura is a raw and emotionally charged melancholic metalcore project from Aschaffenburg, Germany, founded in early 2023 by guitarist Falk Badura. Starting as a solo endeavor, the project has evolved through intense personal and artistic phases, from confessional demos to conceptually records. Badura combines a fiercely ethos with a deep commitment to emotional authenticity, releasing all music under Corambirra Records.

The journey began with the demo album It’s Time to Say Goodbye (2023), a brutally honest and unpolished reflection of personal struggle. Written during one of the darkest periods, the record captures raw emotion through rough production and deeply expressive performances.

Later that year, the Consideration EP marked a significant milestone in the project's development. The release served as a transitional moment, refining the project's identity, exploring new directions, and laying the groundwork for what would follow.

In 2024, Beside They Walked Past Dying emerged as Badura’s debut album, a concept-driven, uncompromising record centered on the psychological and physical horrors of war. With its harsh dynamics, spoken-word passages, and refusal to follow metalcore conventions, the album delivers a chilling narrative of power, despair, and survival. Regional press praised the album’s intensity and depth, calling it “metalcore without clichés” and “not for passive listeners.”

All music is written, produced, and mixed by Falk Badura, with contributions from collaborators such as Bastian Merklein and mastering engineer Andreas Florin (Florin Media). Unfiltered, introspective, and always evolving, Badura stands as a distinct voice in the modern underground scene.
