Metal Injection, in cooperation with blackened doom bringers, INDIAN, premiere a brand new visual atrocity in the form of "Rhetoric Of No."
The
menacing six-plus-minute demonstration of deviance comes courtesy of INDIAN's
newly-released From All Purity full-length. A corrosive audio
collage where tar-black doom unites with expansive waves of noise to create a
near smothering sensation of revulsion, suffering, and imminent degeneration,
the six-track From All Purity, which debuted at #24 on the
Billboard Heatseekers Chart, is the true sound of the earth dying.
Recorded
at Electrical Audio and Soma Studios in Chicago with engineer/co-producer
Sanford Parker (Minsk, Yob, Samothrace), From All Purity has
reaped the love of fans and media globally. In an 8.2/10 score, Pitchfork calls
the record, "commanding and well-crafted," adding that "this is
the strongest they've ever sounded," Hit The Floor names it, "the
most vicious and scathing pieces of bleak recorded hatred you will hear all
year," Metal Insider points out that, "it's almost as if INDIAN aren't
playing their instruments so much as abusing them and we are allowed to witness
this display of musical debauchery like some sickening peep show," while
MetalSucks commends the record's "gnarled brilliance" furthering
that, "it's just so fucking ugly and unpleasant that, unless you're in the
mood to go looking for diamonds in the vomit-encrusted rough, it can sound like
an endless, sickly death march....INDIAN know that doom's slowness
can be used to stretch out one's concept of time to submerge whoever's
listening into something truly vicious." Lambgoat agrees, "With their
fifth full-length, INDIANbuilds upon a key fact that should define
their music: beauty through dissonance... It's noisy, unpleasant, and vicious
in its sludge/doom attack; all qualities that make From All Purity a
strong release." Adds Metal Injection, "Far from a
mere Eyehategod or Neurosis clone, INDIAN are
a well-rounded quintet capable of appealing to fans of groups as disparate
as Batillus, Pelican or High On Fire."
