Deathcore is a genre that everyone seems to look down on, there seems to be a dearth of this is “This is not real Metal, Deathcore sucks” comments on Youtube and other Social Networking websites, which I do find quite funny, to each his own I say. However that being said I am not really a huge fan of the genre myself as I think it gets boring after a while, but then I remember what my friend said; “good music is good music regardless of the genre”, and thus that is what is to be found here.

Well guess what, you are wrong and THE EAR SPLIT are proof of the fact that there might be a pretty substantial Metal scene over there. Let’s hope we hear more from this scene in the future, for now let’s get down to business andfind out whether their CONTEMPORARY NOISE POLLUTION(E.P) has what it takes.

Harsha Iyer, a 19 year old Indie musician, has spearheaded this movement with his debut album that has been received with open arms by the changing moods of people’s music choices.
