The traditional metal instruments don't really do anything different from western metal, but it lays down a solid foundation for the eastern instruments, which add an interesting element.
The english lyrics were just as nu metal as I was expecting, though I'd say a touch uninspired. Change the city name and those lyrics could have been written and sang by that guy anywhere in the world. I could listen to the Indian lyrics with the metal backdrop any day, though, that was certainly interesting.
Definitely a toe tapper, a nice break from the almost exclusively European and American based bands that I typically listen to, even if it is nu metal in 2024. For me, folk metal is always a welcome addition.
On the Rineck Scale, I give it a 3 out of 4.
Yeah, I find the English lyrics in most of their songs to be a bit bland, and this one is particularly bland even compared to their normal. But I'm the type to care more about the sound than the lyrics, so I overlook it.
I find the lyrics on these songs they made less bland: https://youtu.be/7iKjSCTxke8?si=6pfuOLIMTvxdp1Nq
Damn, the start wasn't really something I personally like, but towards the end they did do some good stuff!
Reqlly didn't expect this to go as hard as it did
Sounds nuts, definitely a vibe. Thanks for sharing!
