Heavy Metal bombast from Bombay! Metal is truly a universal language, as one listen to this 4-piece from India makes clear. LOUD and clear, that is! With the release of "Connect & Inspire",
Metakix have concocted a sound that is a tasteful blend of practically every Metal genre you could imagine, filtered through their own unique culture. This gives the band a slight edge, although it wouldn`t mean much without the talent and skill to back it all up; don`t worry, these guys have got those traits in abundance! The band is Zomb [guitar/lead vocals], Viresh [guitar/vocals], Nicky [bass/vocals] and Sheldy [drums/vocals], top-class musicians all the way. But they`re clever songwriters, and it`s the arrangements that lift them above the competition, as well as their knack for catchy hooks and melodies. Check out the opening cut, the soaring "Back In The Zone", which lyrically seems to carry a spiritual message, something that can be see in most of the tracks here. In fact, at times they sound similar to early King`s X. Other picks include the enchanting "Lonestar" and the crushing "Only The Good Die Young", the groove and crunch of "True Alter", the powerful ballad "Forever" and the heavy Blues Rocker "Payday Blues". Metakix are one of the more original acts to come about in recent times, and certainly live up to the albums` title; they do indeed connect and inspire! May it be so with you, as well.
