If you’re a band in Darjeeling, you can likely go the way of
Scandinavian metal bands and find yourself a forest close by for a music
video. We saw Sukna-based metallers If Hope Dies do it for their debut EP, and it’s the case for Darjeeling technical death metallers Obliterating Vortex as well.
Their latest single and music video “Fractal Perceptions Rectified”
brings together gnashing guitar combos (a sweet guitar solo thrown in
as well at the end by Aditya Darnal) and dexterous, dissonant riffs and
melodies (timed to perfectly synchronized windmill headbanging) from the
band. Vocalist-guitarist Sailu Rasaily, bassist Abhishek Moktan and
drummer Dichen Pakhrin keep things tight throughout. The track was
produced, mixed and mastered by If Hope Dies frontman Aakash Sherpa at
his studio, Anomaly Sound Designs.
Formed in 2012, Obliterating Vortex have performed all over the North
East and East of India, plus a gig in Pokhara, Nepal. Rasaily says gigs
are still on and off, but they’ve got a “loyal base of people who have
followed” the band, who released their debut EP Machineurotic in 2015.
However, their most immediate challenge remains finding a replacement
for drummer Pakhrin, who is moving to Poland for work. Rasaily says,
“It’ll be quite a task to find a replacement in such a demanding genre
as technical death metal, but we have our fingers crossed and we will be
announcing a replacement pretty soon.”
