The percussion actually follows the violin which adds to the intensity and its banger factor. Like every other track in the album, it features classical violin pieces layered on top of metal, which blends pretty well due to the immaculate production. ‘Khoye The hum’ is lyrically introspective and sonically intimate and begins with another sweet piano intro. The lyrics, mostly about existentialism and looking for the meaning in life, are extremely poignant. ‘Wajah’ shakes things starting with a touching piano ballad, which then segues into momentary heavy metal riff topped with beautiful violins. This pattern is followed throughout to pretty good effect. Again, we have a powerful violin performance midway to accentuate the despair an hopeless themes of the track. ‘Bekhabar’ stands out due to its unique time signature, giving it a psychedelic vibe despite it leaning over to heavy metal riffs. The track touches on themes of disaffection and alienation. This is, in fact, an idea that is reused in virtually all songs, which is one of the main causes of the album’s loss of vitality in the second half. It features sudden knee-jerk transitions from a soothing melody into a wall of heavy metal riffs and percussion with the same soulful violin on top, ending with an evocative guitar solo. The album kicks off with ‘Vimukh’, a track riddled with emotional strings that touch a deep and visceral part of your soul. Riding the recent wave of classical music and rock fusion acts, Paradigm Shift is back with the latest addition to its discography, Sammukh. The Mumbai based prog rockers go all out with the classical influenced aesthetic, with passionate performances throughout while tackling subjects that are not a part of our everyday discourse.
