Elektrokore
If metalharmonies, Fear-Factory-esque breakdowns, Assamese squawks and religion-basedlyrical doodles are your preference when it comes to music, Elektrokore couldjust be your archetypal performance benign band. A fuse of meticulously andmoody sounds that are suavely crooned the metal way-Elektrokore bringstooth-paste fresh soundscapes drenched in experimentalism in the way theAmerican Head Charge approach their music along with a long list of otherinfluences manipulated by the powers of Union Underground and Powerman 5000’smusic.Their otherwisedistinctive sound also emits similar vibes to that of their fellow countrymen ‘Frequency’,but with a much more deeper and a seemingly effortless purr. Their deceptivelysparse yet, incredibly infectious beats add a certain post modern sensibilityto their sound that makes listening to their music an experience that must beindulged in. If you took the aforementioned Frequency’ vocal production, roughedged guitar work, Issues-era Korn smooth imagery and some Rammstein-esque grooves,you’ve got the heady cocktail of Elektrokore’s sound.
The frenziedhype that environs them is as immense as the talent they possess. There is anexcitement element with Elektrokore- eccentricity bleeds from their music, andthey have a bizarre concoction that just works. Theirs is a concept that is Chaoticand scatty-but one that culminates into perfectly arranged and sharply filteredmaneuvers. Very often- Their music contradicts itself, providing end resultsthat mystify. They are as bewildering as they are sublime. Very often, it’stheir fresh sounding Electro-experimentation that lightens the day, puts thebreeze in your window, the music to your party.
Idiosyncratic,but knowing their own barriers due to them not being particularly exquisiteshowmen, they have built a look, making Axl iconic in a Strummer-like fashionin his facade. They are of few words, indecipherable some may say. Their hypeis understandable through, their angst-shielded melodies of yesteryear, if notobvious but beautiful. They strive to revive old-school grace andrebelliousness back into their guitars if not through shimmering bass lines.The Flaming skull Podcast E-zine describes them as the Pioneers of Nu-age Musicin NE India. With Keng’s vocals telling talesof the treacheries that come with life on the streets of Guwahati- Elektrokorecan sometimes sound (Lyrically) like Soulfly being backed by Mick Thomson’smagnum opuses. 
You can’tdeny there is personality in this group and this streams through with their onslaughtof calamity guitars and damning percussion. For now, the band is having funtweaking and testing Reason and Fruity Loops while at work on their debut albumthat is scheduled for release in the month of July. However, their sound, whichright now is untamed, may have to tighten somewhat, if they are to garneranymore fans outside of their already, underground following.The abilityto transport a listener to another setting or subconscious is a talent withinitself, but Elektrokore’s ability to do it is so subtle- you’ll be forced tothink you’ve been sleepwalking.
