Acrid Semblance completely blew me away with From the Oblivion. They're the first Indian metal band that I listened to, and they impressed me greatly. Despite their nationalities, they sound more in sync with the Scandinavian metal scene. Imagine Dragonforce meets In Flames in a way, with many glorious melodic guitar harmonies and both keyboard (with an obvious Dream Theater influence) and guitar solos, epic instrumentals all around, harsh (though slightly lacking) vocals, and some decent drumming, and you get this album. Main complaints are that the vocals could use some improvement, since the growls lose energy fairly quickly. Also, the song, Running for Eternity is a complete ripoff off of the In Flames cover of the Treat song, World of Promises. The tragic flaw is that the album isn't too consistent, and the band needs slightly less filler in their songs. Though one can easily argue that it's just standard melodeath, it's still a very strong album for such an obscure (out of India) band, and I'm quite surprised that they have so little recognition.

Nice little obscure album from India, decent songs with really catchy guitars .From the oblivion indeed but unfortunately for this band they remained in oblivion.
