A successful relationship between great production and great musicianship is very rare. Even most of the top-league bands mess it up with being too bassy on the albums or transitions being weak. It is not an unknown fact that an album with a strong production value gets more appeal even if there are greater rival albums but with tacky production background. PROVIDENCE is a beaming example of how a bunch of talented musicians grab an equally competent producer/mixing engineer and churn out a winner. The reason I'm stressing on the production value is because the amount of Indian Metal/Rock I have been subjected too lately lacks badly in terms of production value. Bands do have to face financial hurdles when they are in their early stages and access to good studios in developing countries can be a problem, but it is certainly no excuse to let your musical talent be scorned at just because it is not good on the ear. The situation is definitely changing with more and more Indian bands reaching out to better studios (even international) and PROVIDENCE achieves their crisp sound from SKYHARBOR’s acclaimed musician and india’s first "Djentleman" – Keshav Dhar who has mixed/produced their EP.
