EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: INDIAN, “THE END OF TRUTH”

 Thursday, March 10th, 2011 at 1:00pm by

Indian - Guiltless

When I think of what I want heavy music to sound like, Indian are pretty much it. Don’t let the kinda trippy (but awesome) album art fool you; this ain’t no boring psychedelic droney shit with recycled Mastodon riffs. “The End of Truth,” from Indian’s new album Guiltless (April 12, Relapse), is everything modern heavy music should be; creative, challenging, hooky in its own unique way (despite constant dissonance), and it’s overwhelmingly, monolithically crushing. Better yet, it does all of this at the [somewhat] relaxed pace of doom; it’s like Morbid Angel went and smoked an ounce of weed and came back just… a little… slower.

Have a listen to the aardvark baby impalingness of “The End of Truth” below. Pre-order Guiltless here.

  • jadedkid

    Into it. Thank you for bringing this to out attention. I like how harsh the vocals are, dude sounds like he’s constantly dying. It actually almost sounds like some of the vocals on slaughter of the soul.

  • gnarlk

    these guys are sweet and worthy of more attention….

  • Aaron

    This sounds NOTHING like I thought this band would sound like. Good shit. Pleasantly surprised.

      I thought that Indian were going to be like a throwback 70s style rock band aka Wolfmother. Totally different to what I was expecting.

    Me likey

  • Taintraker

    Music is good, vocals are terrible.

  • Blargh

    The vox remind me of the higher-pitched half of Javelina…who you do not cover nearly enough, if ever.

  • casey

    Their other album “slights and abuse/the psychophant”(spelling?) is fucking awesome. Been eagerly awaiting this.

    This band is bad ass , caught up on their catalog , very good band , sure more good things to come .

    I saw these guys open for Agalloch. I hated them live, especially before Agalloch. It made no sense.

    • Conor

      Have you heard old Agalloch?

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Holland-Rains/1107726154 Holland Rains

        Yep.

  • ripptuff

    Its kind of refreshing to hear that they weren’t the band I expected. That doesn’t happen often….

  • cw

    damn this was fantastic!
    those vo-kills are kinda grating though

  • Utmu

    I like the vox. Music is a little too dissonant for my tastes though, but it could grow on me.

  • InGoreWeCrust

    More good shit from Chicago. This city cant stop

  • Evan

    Same here – not what I was expecting at all. Very impressed.

  • Matt

    this genre continues to pump out bands that completely kick ass.

  • qriot513

    AWESOME. SEE THEM LIVE. STAND IN FRONT. BE PUMMELED.

  • TaunisYearOne845

    DoomSludge eats shit. I fucking hate everyone of these stupid slow lame bands.

    • BigBintheAV

      Agree

  • Nick

    My tattoo guy does their cover art…actually, one of his pieces for a previous album is apparently banned in Ireland(!).

    Anyway, another killer Chicago metal band. Been damned proud of my city for the past several years: Yakuza, Nachmystium, Atlas Moth, Pelican, Indian…list goes on and on…

    There should be a straight up stoner/doom tour. The Cannabismal Tour? Any takers?

  • Tim

    Who does their artwork? Name?

    Fuck the Slow haters… Smoke weed, Why go fast when you can go slooooow?
