Maluscomas is a synapse prize, a project by indie musician Amit Vyas. Based out of Pune, he translates his several savants of music and influences into his own. Chiselling his own signature form while tipping his hat to the ones who have inspired him, he actively makes passionate music. His latest album is called Other Side of Peace.

Amit Vyas channels electrifying solos from his trusty guitar as Maluscomas in the album “Other Side of Peace”. His playstyle reminds me of the bravado and tone of David Gilmour and a bit of Petrucci is thrown in there as well for the metal-heavy tracks of the album. There’s a range of emotions present in this nine-piece album, and it delighted me immensely.

This experimental project mixes lyrical guitar psych elements coupled with compelling storytelling to erect a soulful musical reality. Add to this the sweeps of Greg Emond’s evolving vocals and you’ve got yourself a beautiful piece of art; a musical masterpiece!

The album’s closer is perhaps its most realized song; ‘Rebuild’ will take you right back to when guitar instrumental albums were a thing, and it’s full-on nostalgia. It also gets all its ingredients right. There are plenty of memorable moments here.
