HEADBANGALORE (India)
Compilation CD
A compilation featuring 4 bands from Bangalore, India. I think the name of
this compilation taken from the word headbanging and Bangalore. So I expect
some kind of headbanging metal feast, something violent, fast
death/thrash/black metal but I guess I am expecting too much. Not that I am
disappointed but I am expecting something better than this. For sure the
sound can be improved. The bands can’t be categorized in one style. In one
song they play this style and then play something else. Or maybe they are
covering songs and put 1 their original song? KRYPTOS starts the CD with a
rock/heavy metal song with clear vocal and some screeching black metal vocal
with a nice solo but overall this track sucks. The other 2 tracks are much
better, heavy/thrash with that screeching vocal. PHALLUSY plays thrash,
death, heavy and sometimes melodic (Are they sharing the same vocalist with
Kryptos? I heard the same screeching vocals). MINDSNARE plays fast heavy and
thrash/black metal. THRENODY, thrash metal, covers Zep’s “Paint It Black”
and plays 2 of their own (long) songs. Every band contributes 3 songs except
for MINDSNARE, which only play 2. The ‘best’ tracks here are from THRENODY
(except for that cover song), KRYPTOS (minus the crappy “Forsaken”),
“Demented” (PHALLUSY) and “Unreality” (MINDSNARE). A good compilation for
you who haven’t discovered Bangalore metal scene but this will be better if
its include DYING EMBRACE. Where the hell are they?
