Rectified Spirit release first single from debut album

Indian progressive metal band Rectified Spirit have released the first single ‘Bloodrush’ from their self-titled debut album on their Soundcloud page.

The song can be heard at: https://soundcloud.com/rectified-spirit/bloodrush

Guitarist and founding member Samudragupta commented “This track deals with guilt. Many times people do despicable things and commit sins under a rush of blood to their heads when they surrender to their more primitive animalistic instincts. But just when it’s done, only then does one realize that the guilt that follows will have to be borne only by the human being inside. That’s what Bloodrush does to us. It is the time when the sinner prefers redemption rather than forgiveness and the thing that is common between the sinner and the sinned is that none of their souls can rest in peace. That is the dichotomy or paradox of Bloodrush.”

Rectified Spirit’s self titled album released on the 28th of December 2012. If you want a copy, order it online.

Bevar Sea reveal debut album details

We’ve heard music from the ‘Trendslaughter Sessions’ and also a couple of other live recordings, but Bevar Sea fans don’t have to wait too long for the studio album. The heavy hitting stoner-doom band from Bangalore have just revealed their self-titled debut details.
Bevar Sea (approx 40 min)

Tracklist:

1. Universal Sleeper
2. Abishtu
3. The Smiler
4. Mono Gnome
Guitar player and main songwriter, Srikanth Panaman, says: “We’ve had a great time performing these songs since we made our stage debut. After a year of playing them out and getting better, we thought it was the right time to hit the studio and put out our first album. On the one hand, it’s been a challenge to capture the live vibe on the recordings, and on the other, being in the studio and listening to the songs over and over has allowed us to fine-tune the arrangements. One of our favourite engineers/producers is going to be mixing this, so this is going to be a mindblowing experience for us.”

The self-titled album has been penned for an early-summer 2012 release via the recently formed Iron Fist Records in India. CDs and digital downloads will be the first available media, with more formats on the cards later. The CD will come in a 6 panel digipack, including a 12 page booklet, with extensive illustrations across the layout. According to Rahul Chacko, lead guitarist and in-house band artist: “The art for Bevar Sea has always been about trying to portray the spirit of the music, while using reference points from the lyrics, and incorporating a healthy dose of influence from some of our favourite comic artists. The album art is probably our most ambitious collection yet, and so far it’s shaping up pretty good!”

The band will wrap up recording, and support label-mates, scene veterans, and fellow old schoolers Kryptos for their third album’s launch party on February 18th at Kyra Theatre in Bangalore. This occasion will also see the launch of Bevar Sea’s new website, and the debut of their new song, “Where There’s Smoke (There’s A Pyre)”.

Bevar Sea is Ganesh Krishnaswamy on vocals, Srikanth Panaman and Rahul Chacko on guitars, Avinash Menon on bass, and Deepak Raghu on drums.
