Indukti
Idmen

"A different language is a different vision of life" (Federico Fellini)

The different language of the Polish Indukti is not that of life but that of music. Categorizing them into a precise genre is a daunting task, and generalizing by associating them with other groups would be highly reductive. Once again, the response lies in the record, it is in the music.

"Idmen" is already from the cover a controversial work. A complicated sound gallery from which to extract glimpses of sound through minimal gaps to derive their artistic conduct. Let us start by saying that the five Poles, who brought to light another music monolith titled "S.U.S.A.R" five years ago, return to the music scene with a work worthy of great attention, constantly imbued with solutions of mutable musical extraction.

In the beginning, we find everything Indukti wants to convey to us. They do it with assertiveness and conviction but also with a veiled sense of pessimism that reflects in the vaguely dreamlike soundscape. "Sansara" is all this: an envelope of instrumental immediacy that unfolds over eight minutes. In the second track, there is a rhythm and atmosphere that can bring to mind the Tool from Aenima. "Tusan homichi tuvota" is a crescendo of sounds and musical evolutions that deftly maneuver over singing that transitions effortlessly from epic to aggressive. To top it all, a grotesque and obsessive text that is reflected in the tribal rhythm of the chorus.

Immediately, a lot of food for thought, immediately several considerations. Making music is not a preconceived schema for Indukti, but rather ever-evolving sensations. And so, after the placid calm of the interlude "Sunken bell", the band returns to strike hard and paint sounds that are difficult to assimilate in "And who's the God now?!".

Reaching the midpoint of the record, the band's instrumental fury is unleashed, with the vocalist only returning in "Nemesis voices". The remaining "Indukted", "Aemaet", and "Ninth wave" are gems of pure instruments that open up a universe of music to savor in every single part. A different language, which finds no parallels in other musical realities, unless one wishes to delve into entirely out-of-place forced parallels.

The sax of the concluding "Ninth wave" is as sweet as could be heard in contrast with the powerful notes of the guitar and the whips of the skins.

A complex but heterogeneous record that does tread into virtuosity but does so with a sonic fullness and a mix of realities that do not undermine its development.

From Poland, a musical offering of the highest stylistic level to keep an eye on.

To you.
