Finland's Indica were discovered by Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen. Prior to this, the band have released four albums in their native Finland, which are all sung in their Finnish language. Now, newly signed to Nuclear Blast, Indica have just issued their English language debut - and fifth album overall - "A Way Away". Indica play up-tempo music with a pop edge, combined with metal and strong orchestral elements on some songs.The opening duo of "Island Of Lights" and "Precious Dark" set a very high standard for what is to follow. While the mood throughout, "A Way Away" is undoubtedly bouncy and up-tempo, there is a dark undercurrent that is also present on some songs. A good example of this is, "Children Of Frost" which also happens to be one the best songs on the CD.
