Ambitious Indian band FRAGARAK from New Delhi have come up with an album of epic proportions. Featuring Louis Rando of IMPIETY on drums, they’ve fabricated elaborate songs that are both atmospheric and suspenseful. Their first album was groundbreaking in its vision, but with ‘A Spectral Oblivion’ they’ve truly proved their worth. This is a statement of sorts that bands from this part of the world too can come up with music that’s original. Though steeped in classic death metal, they’ve done well to expand upon that style and add their own aura of mysticism and intrigue. Albums like these probably won’t ever be replicated, but there’s enough material here to last a while.
Goddamn…it’s hard to believe that a band who have just delivered a phenomenally written heavy hardcore record only formed in 2022! But here we are being blown away by...
