Indian are a band from Chicago, Illinois that plays a blackened form of doom metal with elements of harsh noise and sludge and this is a review of their 2014 album "From All Purity" which was released by Relapse Records.
"Rape" which is also the first song on t he album opens up with heavy guitar riffs and drums and a few seconds alter black metal screams along with elements of harsh noise kick in as well as going into a more slow doom metal direction and staying that direction throughout the song.
"The Impetus Bleeds" begins with heavy distorted noises before adding in slow and dark doom metal guitar riffs as well as some drums and black metal screams along with a small amount of melody and sticks to the same riffs throughout the song.
"Directional" opens up with slow, dark and heavy guitar riffs and a few seconds alter elements of harsh noise can be heard in the background before adding drums into the music and a minute later screams make their presence known and the song goes into a blackened doom metal direction.
"Rhetoric Of No" starts up with heavy doom metal guitar riffs and drums along with some black metal vocals and the music stays in a slow direction during its time and after a awhile dark sounding melodies make their way into the music as well as elements of harsh noise.
"Clarity" begins with harsh noise loops and power electronics along with some drones and a few seconds alter high pitched screams are added into the music and there are no guitar riffs or drums present on the song.
"Disambiguation" which is also the last song on the album begins with heavy doom metal guitar riffs along with some distorted sounds and clean elements in the background which also leads up to drums kicking in as well as some melodic guitar riffing and after awhile black metal screams are added into the music and as time goes on by dark sounding melodies are added into the music..
Song lyrics cover dark and violent themes, while the production gas a very strong, powerful, heavy and dark sound with the bass guitars being mixed down low in the mix as well as most of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion Indian are a very great sounding blackened doom metal band with elements of sludge and harsh noise and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Impetus Bleeds" and "Disambiguation". RECOMMENDED BUY.
