mohaski Powerful and intense progressivism on a stellar recording. A fantastic mix of brain and brawn. Favorite track: Encaged visions of the unobstructed.

Ghuughra Precise technical death metal that draws influence from the more serious side of prog. Big brain lyrical themes, all around excellent musicianship. Check the album press: Bangalore, India.

Yeah, that tracks.

The Indian metal scene is blowing up these last couple years. Guess there's something about growing up cheek-to-jowel with a billion other people that lends to heavy music. Who would've guessed?

ps: seems like Hannes Grossmann can literally do no wrong. Favorite track: In pretence (Feat. Hannes Grossmann).

Jay Samoth In for a ride! brought digipack (my 1st Bandcamp purchase) and I can't wait to lay my hands on the care package! Kudos to Ec{c}entric Pendulum for the perseverance through the trying times of not many years back but still treated us Ec{c}entrists with a follow up masterpiece to the already internally acclaimed debut! Favorite track: Immersed In reverence.

Cyril Glaume En 2011, Winding The Optics nous régalait grâce à un excellent Meshug'Thrash progressif plein de promesses et d'énergie. En 2024, Ec{c}entric Pendulum n'a rien perdu de son acuité technique, mais le successeur qu'il livre perd de sa singularité en rajoutant de grande louches de Solekahn et d'Alkaloid à une formule à présent nettement endeathifiée.

about

THE PERSPECTIVA INVERTALIS STORY
_______________________________________________________

Ec{c}entric Pendulum is a metal band that was formed around 2009-10 in south India, Bangalore. They had started off as small unit playing thrash metal in the beginning, in 2011 they were the first band to represent India on an international stage at Wacken Open Air (Germany).

Ever since the success of their first international tour, the band has played in many festivals all over Europe and India alongside several important bands such as Opeth, Textures, Meshuggah, Kreator, Orphaned land, recently suffocation.

Their debut album “Winding the optics” was received with great enthusiasm in India, winning several awards at "The rolling stones award" in 2012 including “best album” category.

Continuing their journey through the labyrinth of modern progressive thrash/death metal, Ec{c}entric pendulum have finally put the finishing touches on their second album, which has been a work in progress for more than a decade?

Perspectiva Invertalis features the return of one of the original members, guitar player Ashish Kumar alongside founding member Arun Natarajan (also Moral Collapse) and the new found force and technical wizardry of Kevin Paradis, French drummer extra-ordinaire on drums(session)

It was during the pandemic that the band moved on completing their second album, performing in their respective studios spread across the world, the band carefully put together this decade long puzzle. Kevin laid his tracks down in France, and the remaining parts mostly were recorded in India and some in Germany.

The album has been mixed and mastered too by Kevin, once again proving that he is not only a great drummer but also a terrific sound engineer. The album also features Hannes Grossmann’s talent on one of their songs.

Arjun Mulky and Ankit Suryakanth further re-enforce the foundation with their promising rhythm section further reconstructing the aggressive clandestine structure of extreme metal through an intricate interplay of riffs. Each track is a maze of its own, with ruthless melodies and solos that complement each other, involving the listeners/onlookers instantly into their vortex of carefully crafted sound.
