Indian From All Purity review

Review for Indian – ‘From All Purity’ by Matthew Green.

The Blues.  When I think of the classic description of Blues Music, I think of ‘My woman left me, my truck broke down, I gambled and drank my pay away and my dog went under a car’. Now add to that list of woes ‘My skin got sand-blasted off, my eye-sockets got scoured out, my woman emasculated me and I was forced to eat my dog’ and that just about sums up the stomach wrenching vibe I’m channeling from this opus. This is harsh, pounding, gut-rippingly heavy metal- a black mess of doom, not the melancholic, epic style but the monolithic, apocalyptic style, presented in a delightfully thick and visceral production courtesy of Sanford Parker- no stranger to the darkest corners of this kind of brute sludge.

With vocals hewn from the rockface of Burning Witch and the musical sensibilities of Thou, Balaclava, Lord Mantis, Dragged Into Sunlight et al, this is no tiptoe through the tulips- and yet, strangely, there is a certain beauty to be found in these 40 odd minutes of annihilation, a cleansing maybe- something probably best experienced in the flesh in a dank hall somewhere on a bleak Wednesday night in wet clothes- without your woman (or man) 8/10

 

Indian have just been added as support for the upcoming Conan gig in London taking place at the Electrowerkz on 22nd March 2014.  Further support comes from Dead Existence and Bast.  Tickets are available here priced at £10.00 plus booking fee.

From All Purity is released in the UK on 20th January and can be pre-ordered from Relapse Records via the Indian Bandcamp page here.
