SHADES OF RETRIBUTION might sound new to most of us but their front man Vedant is certainly not a new name for the metal heads of the country. Yes this the same Vedant from III SOVEREIGN, now back with his new band SHADES OF RETRIBUTION formed in January 2010 with Avi(Guitars), Prashant(Guitars), Naba(Bass) and Devarth(Drums).

Progressive/Experimental Metal outfit SILVER TEARS from Guwahati has just finished recording their Debut E.P titled DIRT BEYOND BEAUTY. Having gone through numerous line-up changes in the last two years the band finally zeroed in on a steady line-up starting this year having participated, finalized and won numerous competitions throughout the nation with the same.

IMR: Howdy LUCID RECESS and congratulations for the release of your full-length album ENGRAVED INVITATION! Also, one thing that I would really like to know is that, it had been almost three years since your last E.P was released, any significant reason behind the band being calm on the musical scene or maybe I am wrong?
LR: Hello IMR and thanks for having us here. Well after we released our EP in Dec 2007, we didn’t consider making another album for a while. We wanted people to know about us before we released another album. We weren’t exactly calm; we did quite a lot of shows and played at some major festivals during that time. We also opened our studio for good and recorded a lot of bands during this time. It was only in early 2009 that we thought of making a second record and we planned on having it done by the mid of 09, but couldn’t because we had to wait for a long time for some of the equipments to arrive, which we used on the album. So finally on 26th April, we released our first full length album.
