Rudra's Brahmavidhya Transcendental is the fifth studio album from the Singapore death/thrash metallers who like to label themselves as Vedic Metal. This effort from them pushes in continuing the tradition of chanting Vedic mythology based songs but that is the only constant they carry over from the past four albums and which is definitely a good thing. What has not been constant is the technicality and production of the music which has grown many folds compared to their last effort.
This release by Rudra accomplishes them as a metal band which should be reckoned with in the metal world. This album reflects the maturity of the band and how they have come of age to produce consistently good metal music defining new rules of fusing the east and the west. The aspects that really stand out are the drumming and the bass. The production on both of them is one of the best I have heard you will hear from the band. It makes up for the raw production and the amateur snare sound that they had it on the previous album. Also the bass sound is just not over shadowing the guitar sounds like it was in the previous effort and engulfing with it the sounds of some good riff age. This time it complements the guitars beautifully while holding its own and manages to be audible.
The music is along the lines of Morbid Angel, Behemoth, Carcass, Nile, and Vital Remains. Curious metalheads only have to try the intro "Bhagavadpada Namaskara" or the more visceral "Avidya Nivrtti" for proof of the band's uniqueness. But Rudra though being different in such aspects is still an extreme metal band because they know their metal and prove it on the album's first song, "Ravens of Paradise." It's melodic, cacophonous, evil sounding, and complex, a treat for every connoisseur whose musical tastes range from the brutal to the grandiose. The album is full of epic guitar solos, twisted growls, virtuoso musicianship, and contemplative interludes that guarantee there's something for everybody inside this concept-driven masterpiece.
Recommended tracks: Ravens of Paradise, Amrtasyaputra, Natural Born Ignorance, Immortality roars, Venerable Opposites.
