Bhayanak Maut Album Review

So, I finally get down to write the review for one of favorite “live performance” bands, a month after I got my hands on their latest album , and I haven’t been able to put it down since. It’s not just metalcore anymore, it’s a different Bhayanak maut here, the one who has broken out from being just another Lamb of god copy band, to one of the premiere acts of the country. The band employs the two vocalist concept for the first time on an album and if I am not wrong, it’s a first for any indian band., and how well it works !! total nonstop brutality/annihilation of the highest order.
The album itself is nothin short of brilliant, starting from the artwork to the innovativeness of the inlay to the sound, production, compositions, everything is just perfect. The album itself has been kept “nameless” to be interpreted by the masses.
Getting down to the album, the tracks are insanely heavy, and surprisingly groovy to be a bhayanak maut production, but I guess, evolution is the name of the game here, and it’s good.
The album beigns with a thunderous opening track “Habemus Papam”, with some insane drums handling by rahul, and furious vocal exchanges between vinay and sunny, it gets you into the groove with it’s sheer pace and energy.
GET PUMPED more is soon to follow.
The second track on this album is the ever so popular “Ranti Nasha” , BM have been playing this track for over a year now on the gigging scene, and is a sure to be a hit, with its heavy groove laden guitar work by venky & aditya.
C’mon let me see u shake ur tail feather’s
And just in case you thought you have heard the best of BM, WAIT, you got another thing coming.
With “Ungentle”, “The becoming”, “violate”, Bhayanak Maut are back with their gut wrenching breed of metalcore, and they keep you asking for more, rahul does some insane drumming and undoubtedly is the star of the album. And if you thought it’s all grim, “MNS Messenger” takes off with some popular marathi cussings, to just lighten up the atmosphere a lil bit J ofcourse all hell breaks loose after guitars kicks into action.
And, if again being a preassuming bastard that we are, we presume this is the pinnacle point of album and it surely can’t get any better, well you are in for another kick on the backside.
So u go into a deep dark realm with BM, with some awsome sounds, that will surely be used as intro track for fututre bhayanak maut’s performances, atleast I hope they do, jst like they did it at their album launch.
Track 11 ”you are perfect , now change” simply put is my fav track of the album, and if you can have last track of the album still in the race to be the best track on the album, then you kind of know, you got something special on your hand, and that is precisely what this is !!
Final verdict, 10/10 for the sheer brilliance of instruments handling, high on head banging and mosh quotient, this album is a must have, must listen, and more importantly must buy, totally worth it.
If this is what our indian metal scene is capable of pulling off, then u got to ask, Lamb Of God, who ?? :P
