French drummer Kevin Paradis adds to the progressive death metal mind-bending song “Cyclic Vicissitude” from Bengaluru band Eccentric Pendulum in a new playthrough video.

The song is part of their just-released new album Perspectiva Invertalis, their first release since 2017’s EP Tellurian Concepts. The new material been in the works for as long as their 2011 record Winding The Optics and was originally announced around 2017. Now, the album released via band founder Arun Natarajan’sSubcontinental Records is seeing plenty of interest. “It’s been good to observe the fruition of this album which has been in the vault for like a decade now,” the bassist says. “We have orders from the U.S. and Europe and of course, the main support base being Bangalore and Mumbai in India, we thank our fans for the preorder love,” he adds.

The band intend of taking the album on the road for the next three months. The first of those comes up on Sept. 8, when Eccentric Pendulum returns to Mumbai after more than five years as part of gig series Blackblood presents Rampage. “Coming out of a long hiatus means we need to double up on our efforts to get going with a specific momentum that every band desires for themselves,” Natarajan says. The lineup includes fellow Bengaluru act Space Is All We Have, plus the live debut of Mumbai metal band Begho and more.

Eccentric Pendulum, for their part, includes Natarajan, guitarists Ankit Suryakanth, Arjun Mulky and drummer Vibhas Venkatram, with live vocalist Stanley David. Mumbai marks the first of a few more launch gigs, tentatively slated to take place in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, the North East and Nepal. “We have good organizers calling us to different cities after all these years, even now and that feels good, to be able to be connected again,” the bassist says.

While Paradis has been session drummer on the album, Venkatram is “getting back to his throne” according to Natarajan. The bassist does give credit where it’s due, however, in Paradis helping the band complete the album. “Kevin gave new life to our songs, in fact he breathes fire with his skill throughout the album,” Natarajan says. Working on the mixing and mastering of Perspective Invertalis as well, Eccentric Pendulum placed a lot of trust in the artist and say it paid off.
