The Anthem Rendition (The PNG National Anthem)

Track Description: "The Anthem Rendition"

"The Anthem Rendition" is a powerful symphonic rock anthem celebrating Papua New Guinea's 49th year of independence, while paying tribute to the late John Warbat, a legendary figure in PNG music. Known as one of the country’s pioneering rock and metal guitarists, Warbat’s work with the band P2UIF and his iconic renditions of the PNG National Anthem have left an indelible mark on PNG’s music scene. His signature style, blending heavy rock with traditional elements, has shaped the nation's cultural identity.
This track emulates Warbat’s distinctive sound, merging orchestral layers with soaring electric guitar riffs, heavy percussion, and anthemic melodies. The fusion of symphonic rock captures the pride, resilience, and unity of Papua New Guinea’s nearly five decades of independence.

In addition to celebrating national pride and honoring John Warbat's legacy, "The Anthem Rendition" also acknowledges the invaluable support from key partners. Quiver Media Promoz graciously provided rare footage of the late John Warbat, enhancing the depth of the tribute. Eyrie Music Studio hosted the video shoot, providing an inspiring space for the visuals to come to life, while Sankamap Studios handled the track’s impeccable mixing and mastering. Lastly, the video clip was brought to life by producer Aen Ravalian, whose vision and craftsmanship helped shape this moving tribute.
