This is the second Azure Agony album, the first one with vocals.
Perhaps it’s the most melodic and linear music that I’ve ever written so far.
Like the previous work of the band, the backbone of these songs can be found in the prog metal area, taking inpiration from the quite obvious Dream Theater mastery, however we tried to be as much as personal as we could.
India is a concept album: the lyrics are all tied together in a single story where a man is looking for an imaginary place that he thinks resides in a corner of his mind.
This work has been published in 2012 by the Italian label SG Records.
