Bimurta wants to take us on a journey.
In 2026, the Indian trio from the state of Assam unveiled their first EP, All Skies Lead to the Sun.
The album opens with traditional Indian sounds on Baba Hargila, an exotic first track that quickly shifts to a heavier mix with touches of Post-Metal, featuring mysterious vocals. A few percussion and samples further diversify the sound, juggling all its influences before returning to gentleness on The Immortal, a composition that starts off quite dreamy, borrowing its vaporous touch from Post-Rock, but also its jerky patterns. The saturation returns for the last part of the track, then gives way to said/unsaid, an interlude with desperate sampled vocals combined with melancholic piano, followed by Rodalisnan, maintaining a fairly tense atmosphere, amplified by the different voices that meet and respond to each other. The solo in the middle returns to more aggressive tones, but these appear and disappear regularly, finding a more accessible form on Pale Blue Drought, the last composition with a Folk introduction that is eventually overwhelmed by hints of Black Metal, then by a final that is initially chaotic but then melodious enough to close the EP.
Bimurta is a project that doesn’t hesitate to draw on a multitude of influences to create its own unique sound. Fans of the Post-Rock scene will be delighted to discover All Skies Lead to the Sun.
