I have quite a few albums in my catalogue but even so, Indukti manages to sound very much unlike anything else I've heard. They are a progressive, experimental, mental heavy metal band. So don't expect overdressed goofs making the horn sign as their main way of communication here. This band is in it for the music!

A first obvious reference would be the instrumental side of King Crimson (albums Red, The Power to Believe): there's lots of chromatic guitar progressions with even some frippertronic guitar soundscapes as on Aemaet. The band has also a violin player in their ranks which makes the KC reference even stronger. But everything is made a lot heavier and louder by throwing in thrash metal staccato riffing, double-kicks drums, heavy distortions and loud mastering.

Most of the album is instrumental. Only 3 tracks contain vocals. Awesome vocals in my book, each of the guest singers is on the gruff and gothic side of things, often reminding me of Carl McCoy (Fields Of The Nephelim).

Indukti are sometimes qualified as post-metal but they don't apply much of the repetitious improvisational attitude from that genre. All songs are very much composed and progress through different themes and moods. I'd go for progressive metal with touches of industrial and avant-garde. Great album!
