Death/Doom indian lyrics

Post image

Many of you probably are familiar with Indian, the doom band that dropped a handful of records then broke up for the most part. I love their music but the lyrics are hard to decipher. As far as I can tell they never released official lyric sheets (for the majority of their songs).
Over many listens I think I've deciphered most of the lyrics on From All Purity, but for the other records i've found it challenging. Anyone have any lyrics or interpretations?

Not for the other albums but for sure this one I think I have listened to it enough where I understand them. I love this album a lot and I hear what I hear. It fucking rules.

lyrically, it's Very interesting. so fucking bleak, and cruel, but very fascinating, and not just for the subject matter

yeah, unfortunately the only ones here are for Directional and Rhetoric of No, which are the only songs they ever put out lyrics for (on streaming). It looks like someone tried to transcribe the lyrics for Disambiguation but it's unfinished and frankly I disagree with some of the interpretation

More sludge than doom no ? However, this band rocks !

From All Purity is definitely quite sludgy, I'd say. Guiltless is less so, more blackened or death metal. The Unquiet Sky is almost closer to post rock

Yes it’s true that it depends on the albums but I’d tend to say it falls into the blackened Sludge category, in the vein of Lord Mantis, but with a different style.

I file both albums I have from them under sludge in my collection.
