Demo review: Mesmeric Revelation (2020)

 


Mesmeric Revelation – Demo 2020

India

Black Cum Productions


You know you're in for a treat when a band's music gets dubbed as "Kolkata Gutter Grind" by their label. The story began when I logged into facebook one day and saw that all my friends had posted this. So after listening to it I immediately purchased the cassette and had no regrets. The music can be described as blackened noise-grind in the same vein as their label peers Methgoat. The guitars on this EP are tremelo picked, backed by a massively thick, raw production filthy enough to stain the horizon. Strangely enough, for this style the lead guitars will pop up throughout the mix several times, mostly strummed high notes, brief and fitting for what you're being subjected to. The drums will stay on constant alternating blasts with the tempo not changing much except for a few short, slower parts here and there. Lastly, the vocals are drowned in reverb and echo, which gives the music an immensely evil effect, making the vocalist sound like a descendant of Kali herself. This has been on my playlist regularly since it was released. If you're a fan of Nyogthaeblisz, Chaos Cascade, or Methgoat, this will be right up your alley. Special thanks to Kolkata Inner Order Propaganda and War Vellum for all the sick music lately. (LR)
