Indukti - Idmen

SKU 80001366
After 5 years the incendiary Polish five piece emerge from the studio with their follow up to S.U.S.A.R.. Idmen doesn't stray much from the formula but turns the screws a bit tighter and the volume knob up a notch. Bordering on metal at times, the dual guitar/violin mesh perfectly together and with the great rhythm section led by drummer Lawrence Dramowicz. Indukti draw their inspiration from King Crimson, Neurosis, and Tool among many others. They incorporate Eastern European folk elements which work perfectly in juxtaposition against the ferocity and sheer volume of the violin and guitars. The band has invited 3 guests vocalists - most notable is Nils Frykdahl of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. Maciej Taff of the Polish metal band Rootwater and Michael Luginbuehl of the Swiss prog band Prisma also appear. Curiously the long track "...And Who's The God Now?!" which functions as the mid-point of the album is actually a reworking of the old demo track "Mantra" but now with vocals. But I digress... A killer album that was well worth the wait. Highest recommendation.

This one took a few listens to fully grasp (and I'm not sure I'm completely there yet). Think "Red" era Crimson with flourishes of acoustic guitars and technical metal passages. The music is rich with mood and more subtle melodic ideas but, at the same time, solidly in your face. Suffice to say, this release, if nothing else, thoroughly commands your attention. Very enjoyable and an easy recommendation for KC fans. Leyth
