I’ve known about the existence of Chennai-based metal band Blind Image for sometime, but it was only last week that I actually listened to them, when the guys at Rock and Raga asked me to listen to a track from their yet to be released album, More Than Human. Not being into the local metal scene, I was pleasantly surprised by what hit me as soon as I touched ‘play’.
The track ‘Deciphered‘ showcases the songwriting and skills of a mature band. If I have to go by this song, Blind Image plays a new-age form of thrash metal which fuses the groove of Pantera with the energy of a Devin Townsend project (I can’t really say why but I hear a similarity). The hard-edge shouted/grunted vocals (David) are antagonizing in a good way, and the melodic clear-voiced chorus relieves the built-up tension. The guitars(Shri and Prashant) are chunky in the right places with catchy lines to hold the interest of the listener, the bass(Muneeb) adds well to the groove factor and the machine-like drumming(Krishna) adds to the modern thrash sound.
To sum it all up, if ‘Deciphered’ is a representative of the album ‘More than Human’, I think I need to get it ASAP.
Blind Image is launching the album at High On Caffeine, Chennai on November 7th. Be there to grab your copy!
Crimson Wood, has released a music video for their song, My King – A stylish video to an awesome song. The camera is good and so are the colors and feel and the video somehow reminds one of the cult movies of the 70s. The video is directed by Shyam Mohan.
