Sickeningly "thrashy" and amazingly "groovy" at the same time is how you can define these guys best. Instances of Post-Thrashy sounds are evident in few tracks but that is - as far as I believe- an undecided and natural flow to things. I normally take the gist-song-conclusion style of review writing but for these guys I wish to try something new.
Firstly I'll be talking act the album/EP art.
Never before has the "Indian Flag" looked so strained yet magnificently medieval before. The sheer burning red horizon and barren land touching till infinity screams of the FACE OF DISASTER(E.P). The album art was and sometimes still overlooked as the element for the bands/albums success. Make no mistake, the album art is the first thing anyone sees before even touching your EP and thus lies the need for a smashing/soothing album art as per your genre or playing style.
For example: IRON MAIDEN has a special screening of their album art just because their mascot "Eddie" who appears on every artwork is considered by the band for their success.
Moving on to production value - Tight.
The drum-tracking could improve in certain tracks but the vocals specially are tracked insanely well. I have come across Indians saying 'fuck that production shit, listen to the content' - well that is just impossible to do. You cannont savor the best of musical ecstasy when you have crappy production sounds. Gone are the days when Indians did not have enough access to good studios at decent rates. INFINTE REDEMPTION nail the production as near perfect. The songs like SHADOWS OF DISASTER which have a low tuned guitar work layered with China pounding sounds really well. So also the echoing screams in TYRANNY OF THE PALLID - really tight production value.
Songwriting is something these guys are just really good at - perfect timed solo's and bridges and layers of constant loopy riffs make the whole E.P enjoyable. There isn't a moment of 'Meh - I've heard this before' and they take you patiently from track to track without focussing on just the guitar wankery or showing off individual musicians skills. Tracks like ABHORRENCE and their self-titled track portray immense potential of going into a very cross-genre music structuring. The influence of Death Metal and Thrash Metal is nicely converged to give these guys the desired sound. Hoping that this is the 'sound' of INFINITE REDEMPTION but then, it's not right to judge bands on basis of an E.P, but these guys should really keep this tuning and mixing up for further endeavors.
Gist of the whole review would really sum up into two words - PLEASE LISTEN!
There is no point in giving out "technical" description of the songs since that is an opinion. But what can be stated from a review is how good or bad the band is. Thus being said, these guys deserve just more than shows and opening acts - hear them to believe the talent our country is harnessing.
Bottom Line
