The recent uprising of experimental and avant-garde bands in the Indian circuit has taken the metal scene by storm. One such band is Exiled Sanity from Kolkata. Even though they recently formed in April of this year, they have been successful in carving out a niche for themselves, performing in many parts of India. As of yet, they have released two original compositions, both lyrically themed on the coming destruction of humanity and the conquest of Earth by a more advanced civilization.
"Twisted Route to Salvation" is a heavy track with a catchy tune which is instantly recognized as a mosher. The song has a heavy intro, followed by the growls and a nice classical feel, provided for by the unconventional riffs. I wasn't expecting much technicality in the track, but was surprised by the complicated guitar and drum patterns and not to mention, the fast paced solo. But, the track to watch out for is, seriously, "Redesigning Humans [The Uprise]". Its atmospheric intro makes you think of what to expect, until those blastbeats and the singer's much-better exhales hit your ears. Guitars, here too, bring in a nice feel, with unconventional riffing. The anchor in the middle though, is the breakdown heavily influenced by Meshuggah and the extremely technical and well written solo which follows. The track ends with the same atmospheric intro it started with, forcing the listener to rewind his tape for another go!
Well, i would just say,Exiled Sanity will definitely be something to watch out for in the years to come. For now, they have definitely taken a step in the right direction. Stay metal, people \m/
