Although Inchi takes great pride in being part of the metal scene in their hometown of Vennesla, in south Norway, I would describe them more as an alternative rock band. Mostly mid-tempo melodic rock with a lot of power chords and high pitched guitars. The songwriting style has some Tool-like qualities with some well thought through part changes and nice team work from vocal and guitar melodies. But it´s also the mid-tempo that presents the biggest problem with Inchi: It get´s boring after a while! The songs, although not bad as such, are too much alike and when heard on the album it´s hard to tell them apart. Then again, I heard Inchi on the new Straight Out Of Vennesla compilation where the song was much more straight forward indiepop rock so perhaps I´m way too late with my criticism.
But Inchi´s potential must be recognized as they certainly put a lot of thought in the songwriting and have a passion to be unique. Maybe not a perfect album, but good music and a good springboard for future schemes.
