Albatross Album Art !!

Albatross started out as the solo project of bassist Riju Dasgupta(Workshop, Old Monks), who wanted to marry his love of literature with his other love- metal. Later on, a lineup of like-minded musicians was standardised and hence Albatross was born. This was preceded by the success of 2 Albatross songs which were uploaded on the band's soundclick page, and with fans demanding more from the project...the band is currently recording it's debut EP called Dinner is You. If you enjoy a good story, or simply love to headbang to 100% pure unadulterated metal, you may want to check out www.soundclick.com/albatrossindia

Albatross has finally released the album art for their most awaited EP "Dinner Is You". The cover was designed by Ameya Chavan , a well known artist from New Zealand. The Albatross logo was designed by Sean Pereira, a mindblowing graphic known for his work with the the Flaming Skull Podcast. Albatross has certainly kept its impatient fans waiting for their Ep. Even from the Album art, one can judge that this is going to be nothing less than a quality release.

Band Profile : Digital Suicide

Digital Suicide is an alternative rock band from Guwahati, Assam. The band consists of Daniel Langthasa on lead vocals and guitar, Dpak Borah on backing vocals and bass guitar, and Ratan Bordoloi on drums and percussion.

Originally hailing from Haflong, they have been friends since their formation in early 2008 and changed band names a number of times (such as Ahimxa, Spice Boys) before adopting the name Digital Suicide. But like so many other places in North East India, their hometown was badly hit by insurgency. They had to move out in order to save the future of the band. The band regrouped in Guwahati after almost 2 years and has been creating music with more fervour and zeal than ever before.

Their sound is a refreshing blend of alternative rock music, grunge, punk, old school Bollywood music, mid- 90s boy band pop and progressive rock. Digital Suicide is the new voice of independent rock scene of India. Strong bass and drum groove acts as the driving force behind the band’s music with the guitar providing simple atmospheric and ambient textures to the songs rather than just carrying the melody. Digital Suicide’s flirtation with 70’s disco and 80’s pop melodies reflect on their vocal melodies. Their music has been inspired by the works of R. D. Barman, Bappi Lahiri, Classical Music, Bands like RHCP, Placebo, Joy Division, R.E.M., Sonic Youth, Lady Gaga, MJ, Radiohead, Nirvana etc.

The band is known for their energetic and stylish live performances. Their lyrical themes and inspiration involve California dreams, love, communal hate, regional terrorism, real politik, fatty food, sex, hallucination, wild life, animals, global warming, aliens etc and to see a clearer sky is Digital Suicide’s concern.

They have just finished recording a 5 song demo CD which they have recently released in Guwahati and also a free download on12th March 2010.

Digital Suicide - Demo tape.

Alright, Indian Rocket is back. We are extremely sorry about not being active in the last few weeks as our chief Jared is stuck with his class twelve boards.

So just to kick things up I've decided to write a review for a Demo tape of the band- Digital Suicide.

I got this CD from a friend of mine. And well

The first song is called "The prophet" and its not bad at all! The first thing that struck me was the production quality. Its much much better than some of the release's being thrown around. The sound of the band again is quite remarkable. The second song "Ninja" opens up with a really catchy riff and almost the whole song has a fast vocal line. Its quite easy to find yourself singing along after a few listens.

Next up is "Paint Me Dry" this starts of slow and then gets into this really psychedelic-y riff transiting to the vocals. This then has a small whammy solo which will remind you of the solo of "killing in the name" by Rage against the machine.

"Amnesia" is the most non-appealing track from the 5 tracks. At least to me, so I'm not going say anything about it.

"Overdrive" is my favourite song, I like the melody the catchy-ness the whole song is really nice.

I enjoyed this sampler. The guitar playing is good. All the instruments are tight. The bass has nice parts. And it has cool vocals to soar over all that. Now I'm waiting for the album.

Overall I'd give this a 8/10.

Rabbit Is Rich EP Review

I just got myself this EP from CD Rack, and I am defiantly not disappointed. 100 bucks well spent.

I put this CD in my player and I hear this really kick ass riff from their song "Time" This song has the power to make you move even in front of your desk. This song has a really cool metalcore-ish break down. A Killswitch Engage influence can clearly be seen which has been mixed with a little hint of As I Lay Dying and a little Lamb Of God. Up next is the song "421" which again has the same Killswitch Engage and AILD feel to it. But none the less is extremely kickass (I'm a lil partial to metalcore.) Then the Ep transits to a softer side at least for the intro and then comes back to killswitch Engage. The guitar playing in this one is diffrent though not the usual metalcore riffing. Some additional flavour has tried to been added with guitars on this one. It goes to a experimental - psychedelicy feel towards the end which is my favourite part of the song. The last track is their acclaimed "Kaboom" which is my favourite track on the EP. It is the most orignal sounding song on the whole album. The guitar riffs combine with the vocals o give you a hard hitting feel.

All in all the music is GOOD. Yes, it has influences of other bands but the music is good and original to an extent. The only downside was the packaging. no lyrics no booklet just a sleeve in a normal CD case, but well the music covered up for that.

Rocket Review : Return to Darkness

After hearing the clips, seeing the video, seeing all the tweets and facebook updates not listening to this was like being near a chocolate cake and not eating it. Finally when my doorbell rang this morning and I saw that Brown Box in which I usually get all DSR CD’s, I knew that this was the album and could wait to spin it. In the last 12 hours I have heard this 4 times already. The first time I heard it was on normal computer speakers and it still killed me, BUT the next time when my mom had gone to work and the home was empty I decided to play it on the 5.1 in the living room (after reading Mikhail’s review that said it would sound awesome on a 5.1) And right from the first track till the closing note I couldn’t believe the excellence of the quality of the music.


The Packaging – The EP and A Darkness descends most disappointing thing was the low quality jewel case which I had managed to break in 2 days. But this one is a sturdy, nice jewel case and doesn’t have C.D. written on the back.



Artwork – The cover which I had seen so many times looked a little duller but never the less stood out from the rest of the albums so far by the band. Each page has its own artwork which is a good thing. Also the artwork has been printed on really high quality paper and when you do not open it looks like a 36 page booklet but is an 18 page one.


The Music –

1. Between Infinity and Oblivion - This is a two minute instrumental. Those who pre-ordered the Box set would recognize it as the background music from the website. When you hear this you feel like something’s coming towards you. Something big, mighty and powerful, which is exactly what this album is. This is one of the Best album opener’s I have heard in a long time and I hope live the band opens with this too.

2. Dreams and Darkness Unite - Just like in ‘The Darkness Descends’ where there is no gap between ‘The prelude to Darkness’ and ‘Dreams of the Dead’. The same thing has been done here also it has been executed very smoothly. It kicks off with a riff and blast beats. Lyrically you can connect with the ‘Beyond to Darkness’ EP on this song. About midway in the song there is a guitar breakdown and it changes the theme of the song. When the guitar part changes so does the frame of mind the warrior changes.

3. The Warrior’s Return – The intro of this song makes you feel like someone royal is being welcomed after a long exile, and I’m not just saying this because the song is called ‘The warrior’s Return’. After the Intro it has a really power metal feel to it but all that changes after and you can see black/death metal part of DR. No wonder you can’t classify them to one genre and have to place them in the category of Demonic Metal. And suddenly there is calm. If you listen to this on a good set of speaker it actually feels like you’re alone and cold winds are blowing beside you this part features a keyboard break down. An after this a really awesome solo is there which will blow you apart, and it merges very nicely with the mood of the song. And as Mikhail said in his review not just mindless shredding. Lyrically the song tells you about the warriors ‘Return To Darkness’ and his purpose of returning. Also in the end there is another solo which is a really amazing one and is hard to believe the amount of feel in it.

4. A Tragedy Befallen – This is my favorite song on the album. It features clear clean vocals. The beginning is extremely aggressive and brutal. Also it creates a very eerie feeling when there is a verse sung almost in a whisper. This song has my favorite solo on the album too. It talks about the sorrow one feels after committing a mistake.

5. The Unrelenting Surge Of Vengeance - The song everybody has heard and enjoyed. The intro to verse transition on this is very amazing. It makes you feel the anger. This track is good musically and sounds good, but that power that hits you when you hear it is a little low on this one compared to the other songs on the album. But after the keyboard breakdown even this one changes its face completely. Another song I will not forget so easily.

6. Bound By Blood, Fire And Stone - A melo-death feel can be heard in this song specially in the intro. After the growls of the first you can hear clean vocals coming from a distance. The drumming on this one is extremely amazing. The riffs and the bass lines and the drumming mix very well together. The vocals in the end make you feel the aggression of the warrior.

7. Lord Of Pestilence – The intro is like the calm before a storm. It is like the eye of the cyclone. It will bring back memories of the ‘Beyond the Darkness’ EP. This song was the song I anticipated the most being eleven minutes long. As soon the clean part is over, the cyclone starts its devastation. In the midway of the song all the anger and energy seems to break lose, there is a really long growl in this part which I really couldn’t believe. After this part there is a keyboard breakdown which leads to my favourite section of the song. This part features aggressive vocals but at the same time are clear you can understand what is being said if you pay a little attention to them.

8. Dismembering The Fallen - This song had been released on the band’s MySpace page earlier. Before I had heard the rest of the Album this was my favorite DR Track. When I heard this on a 5.1 I realized that the panning of this is amazing you can feel the drum rolls move back and forth. The riff and the number of changes is what I like about this song.

9. The Final Stand – The intro sounds like the beginning of the war scene in the movies. The song contains nice keyboard patterns mixed with heavy riffs. Lyrically this song talks about the end of the enemy. This song also has an excellent solo. The Keyboard part in the end sets the mood of the end of the song. It feels like you are moving forward and you can hear that with the guitar part going more and more distant.

10. Omega, I – This is the most brutal song on the album and has lyrical contribution by Daniel on it. This song closes the trilogy well tells you about its end. The closing part has a really ‘catchy’ riff and after it is the calm part which is the end of this long journey.

This album is worth every single buck spent on it. From artwork to music to lyrics everything is top notch. Buy the album if you haven’t already!
