Once upon a time, four youngsters came forth with their distinguished musicality to influence the concepts and repaint the horizons of a genre, no this isn’t about any legendary historical band. It’s what Kolkata is witnessing right now. Oracle’s Eye is a Neoclassical Symphonic Mathcore band in their very own words (the very first of their kind) from one of the cultural capitals of India. The band has just released their debut single ‘A Thousand Doors’, a bold 14 minutes long track with rapid variations, progressions and time signatures, that will drag your consciousness through a complex storyline, it’s like a movie that one can see only with their eyes closed.
“In terms of the main melody and inspiration, the song dates back to 2014 as it uses a melody line composed by Prince (the vocalist and lead guitarist) at that time when he was just a student, but the entirety of this song has variations and transitions crafted by all four of us for just this particular song”, says Baron (the drummer) talking about the origin of this song. Prince adds, “The story actually has bits of reality in it as the characters portrayed are inspired by real people I’ve encountered in my life. In a nutshell, it’s a story of a boy who hated his father for all of his ill actions, but in a twisted turn of fate he ends up becoming the person he hated the most”. This song aims to showcase every complex emotion and inner dilemmas of a corrupted human mind which is still fundamentally an empathetic human mind that maybe deserved something better to live for, or ironically, to die for.
