I’m not being hypocritical about this, in fact I’m very genuine when I say that Evil Conscience took me aback with their brand of bone-crushing, grinding and brutal mix of grind and deathcore. The band has established a name for itself in the Kolkata metal circuit and I realise now after listening to their tracks the reason why. From the sound of the two tracks and after seeing their live videos, it became pretty evident that the band is super-tight in all sections, whether its the drums, vocals, bass or guitar. Grim Shutdown is a track that has its influences clearly visible but is still a class apart due to its guttural vocals that deserve heavy accolades. The vocalist has put in a lot of effort in the process of creating this really amazing track. The guitars riffs are very technical but remind me very much of the first full-length album of my personal favourite band. But an awesome effort on them too. Kudos. The drums sound amazing and the speed and technicality must be mentioned. I must also appreciate the production quality of the songs. Surely they like to get everything done to perfection. The other track too is heavy and has the elements the band claims to have. The stoner part, although not visible immediately to the listener has its presence in parts of the song. But the grip on this song seems a little loose after a few listens, though a good effort still. Again in this song the highlight will be the vocals that seem to emanate from the beasts themselves. Grim Shutdown however still remains my personal favourite.
Personally I see this band going to great heights should they continue the same way like now. I expect to see more releases from them in the coming year, maybe even an EP and I’m also keeping my fingers crossed to see them live soon.
Signing off!!
