Abinaya: “Beauté Païenne” Digital and CD 14th April 2014 Self Released. French Tribal / Rock / Metal band.
If you are reading this that means you are curious. You probably wonder why I review and album that has 12 years old. It might sound crazy but the main founder of the band has decided to bring back the band with modern media.
Heli Andrea (ex-Mobius) contacted me as she has been doing videos for the band recently. I interviewed her band few years ago. It is very interesting to know what she has been doing during all this time such as the singer of Abinaya.
Sung in French, the power of the album lyrically as musically made this being back then a brilliant album. The music and the text still rings today. Actually if it would come out today it will still be a bomb in the Metal scene as it was when it came out.
Check it out:
Influences: Sepultura, Noir Désir, Lofofora, Sup, and many more.
Having videos, got the explosion of the senses another dimension, Heli’s vision brings the new intensity that will revive the precious will Abinaya wanted to give. The fans as the new ones will get this album another future that may get a new life to the band.
Great albums live for a while and sometimes are spread as favorite ones for decades; sometimes when a band gets back to the scene the energy that was created inflames the scene again.
Abinaya was a live experience, you can read the interview in the pages of The Metal Mag. Its legacy will live on.
A must-have 100/100.
