Biography

There are at least three bands called Indian:

1) A Chicago-based band. Born in different parts of country, brewed in the depths of Chicago, Indian have grown to be chiefs of doom in the Midwest and around the U.S. since their first show in early 2003. Their slow- guitars, demon-esque vocals and mad smart rhythms make the three piece pure sophisticated evil.

Indian’s first recording, Godslave, released in 2004, quickly became an underground favorite for doomers across the country. The band names influences as Alice Cooper, Miles Davis, and the Melvins. Playing shows with the likes of High on Fire, Yob, Yakuza, Weedeater, Macabre, Alabama Thunderpussy and old friends Buried at Sea, Indian’s live shows continue to grow. Chicago fans regularly schedule late night encores for the band in the numerous clubs they’ve invaded throughout the city. After having toured the Midwest and Southern U.S., the band released their debut full length, The Unquiet Sky on Seventh Rule Recordings in September 2005. In 2007 the band released their follow up album Slights And Abuse , followed by the Sycophant one year later. Both albums were recorded by Sanford Parker at Volume Studios (Lair of the Minotaur, Pelican, Minsk) in Chicago. In the same year their label re-released both albums together on one CD as Slights and Abuse/The Sycophant.

    Indian are fucking awesome. Listening to Guiltless for the first time and it blows the disappointing EPs out of the water. And hey, just for the record, anyone with half a brain and/or an ear for sludge can tell you that The Unquiet Sky is HEAVY yet unique in its own right.

    yup... there are no sludge/doom bands that predate 2003... this is the very first one ever in the history of music... Indian are the founding fathers of the genre...Sleep, Burning Witch, Yob and Neurosis all started after these guys...

    Listening to Guiltless at full volume is an incredible experience. This is one of the most furious albums I have heard in years.
