ALBATROSS:
Albatross is a band which combines bone chilling stories with bone crushing metal. The band started out as the solo project of bassist Riju Dasgupta(Workshop, Old Monks), who wanted to marry his love of literature with his other love- metal. Later on, a lineup of like-minded musicians was standardised and hence Albatross was born. The band released the critically acclaimed ‘Dinner is You’, a concept EP about cannibalism and the Kuru disease, which was mastered by Grammy nominated Swedish producer Andy LaRocque from King Diamond, in September 2010. The band supported Dubai Nervecell on a 2 city India tour soon after. The current Albatross lineup has already started work on their next album, which promises to bring a new dose of fear into your lives. So be scared…be very scared. We could be in your closests as we speak…with a knife…dripping blood
ORION:
Orion was a giant huntsman of Greek mythology whom Zeus placed among the stars as the constellation of Orion. Homer, however, mentions Orion, the Hunter, and Orion, the constellation, but never confuses the two, thereby implying the dichotomy between myth and nomenclatural conventions. Orion for us is the pursuit of the unexpected and the unexperienced with the will and might of that mythical hunter. Our music is a relentless whiplash of sonic fury comprising, often enough, of unusual melodic motifs and irregular and off-time signatures coupled with articulate and pithy lyrics voiced in the low, guttural, rumbling annunciations that we associate with good death metal. Though, the overall feel of our music is more reminiscent of jazz and progressive metal. We seek to bind the vagaries of intricate melodies with vexatious, diabolic rhythm in a blissful wedlock of a perfect aural orgy.
THERE FORE PLAY:
Therefore Play is a Metal core/ Groove Metal band from Mumbai..The bands roots lie in the name “Error”…a jam band started by three friends..over a period of time..Error felt their music becoming stronger day after day..Jan 2011 they agreed upon a name and..Thus Therefore Play was born.More recently,the band added the missing piece to the jigsaw puzzle.And since then Brutality never seemed so Seductive.!
ARQUEBUS:
Formed in 2010, Arquebus, is a hard rock band from Mumbai, which was born as a result of the coming together of a bunch of extremely talented musicians, inspired by Pradeep from the extreme metal band Infernal Wrath, who had long dreamt of forming a bad ass rock n roll band! To realise his vision he brought along Amey ( Infinite Redemption), Nandan ( Infinite Redemption & Shadow Fiend), Amnish ( Cosmic Infusion & Infernal Wrath ), Saurav and finally Isaac joining in to complete this rocking band!!!
Arquebus is a blend of Hard Rock with a dash of Post Alternative and with a bit of contemporary music thrown in to give you music that will blow your minds off!! The music reflects the band members’ insatiable hunger for melody accompanied by ruthless desire for aggressive fast paced beats ( of the skin-basher Nandan) along with a dynamic vocal pattern of Saurav. All this together with loud guitar riffs & solos of Pradeep & Amnish that will rush like adrenaline out of stereo and slap you hard on the face leaving you asking for more! And to complete this awesome recipe of killer hard rock music there’s Ameya on the bass & Isaac on keyboards! Here is a band that dares to do it differently!Heavily inspired from legends like Guns N Roses, Slash, Alter-Bridge, Rev Theory, John Norum, Kee Marcello, White Snake, Alice in Chains & Europe, the band is all set to take the Indian rock scene by storm…
The Arquebus is here and you better get ready for some crazy hard hitting rock n roll music that’s going to blow a hole in that head of yours!!
