Indicative/Self Titled/Qanat Records/2013 CD Review


  Indicative  are  a  band  from  Italy  that  plays  an  instrumental  mixture  of  progressive  metal,  hardcore,  post  math  rock  and  experimental  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  titled  2013  album which  was  released  by  Qanat  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with  no  fast  drumming  or  blast  beats  being  present on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing that  dominates  throughout  the  recording,  as  for  the  sound  effects  when  they  are  utilized  bring  in  avant  garde/experimental  elements  to  the  album.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from slow  to  mid  paced  riffing t hat  combines  progressive  metal,  hardcore,  post  math  rock  and  experimental  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  some  melody  and  clean  playing  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  melodic  experimental  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  and  song  writing  are  all  absent  from  the  recording  with  the  music  being  all  instrumental  except  for  some  spoken  word  parts,  while  the  song  themes  cover  everyday  life,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  some  of  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Indicative  a  very  great  sounding  instrumental  post  math  rock/metal  band  and  if  you are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Watt  69"  "Why?  Because"  "Tuning"  and  "St.  Anthony's  Fire".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
