The death metal elements of war metal really shine in this teaser EP, mainly in the guitar work. What's here is good, but at only 10 minutes long it's hard for me to form much of an opinion. That said, these guys will certainly stay on my radar of the current war/noise scene happening in India/Sri Lanka.
Favorite track: Proclamation of the Empty.
IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS is proud to present APARTHIVA RAKTADHARA's debut demo, Agyat Ishvar, on 7" vinyl format.
Hailing from Kalikshetra, from the rising Indian black/death scene that's spawned fellow IRON BONEHEAD noise terrorists TETRAGRAMMACIDE, APARTHIVA RAKTADHARA create an ultra-violent whirlwind of dread frequencies that somehow manages to sound hallucinatory. In a swift 13 minutes, the power-trio's opening salvo blasts and twists and swirls with feral, frightening intent; just its sheer, Spartan overload of violence alone is stultifying enough. But within that maelstrom, APARTHIVA RAKTADHARA have carefully cultivated a sort of order from chaos, with occult mathematics seemingly employed to elevate each messy-on-the-surface angularity into a stridently martial attack. And Agyat Ishvar is just the first detonation...a new EP for IRON BONEHEAD is being prepared.

Super-destructive and grooving war metal with an inescapable gravitational pull. A lot of great and engaging drumming too, not just uninspired blast beats. Matten
