Five-piece Groove Metal band from New Delhi, ‘New Genesis‘ have announced the pre-orders of their debut EP ‘The Pits of Tartarus‘, which will be released early next month in association with Trailer Boy Records.
The band was formed in August 2011 when Sagar, Ruben and KV met each other and thought of jamming together and covering few Lamb of God tracks as they were having same approach towards metal yet being different in their own way, while the other band members joining in later. Their music is very much influenced from a variety of bands like Chimaira, Lamb of God, Metallica, Obituary, Bullet For My Valentine, Devil Driver and Slipknot etc.
‘New Genesis’ is: Abhijeet Sanyal – Vocals
Kumar Vasan – Lead Guitars
Ruben Franklin – Rhythm Guitars
Kartikeya Sinha – Bass
Sagar Siddhanti – Drums
The EP title is ‘The Pits of Tartarus’, and its a conceptual album about a person who has done much evil, a lot of dreadful things as depicted in the first track titled ‘Infernal Chaos’ but is now in pain, depressed, bonded in chains of torment, suffering from his own wrong doings and guilt killing him from deep within. ‘Serpent of Illusion’ comes second in the EP after ‘Infernal Chaos’ and it, too, like the other songs, talks about the same person and his conversation with the Devil himself asking him to obey the devil and keep doing evil, but the person realizes it later on and hence seeks ‘Redemption’. He wants to get out of all this as portrayed in ‘Redemption’ but since its ‘The Pits of Tartarus’ (a place from where no one can return), the person ends up in hell which is what ‘Enfer’ is. This track was released last month and is available for FREE download on their SoundCloud page.
The tracklisting of the EP is:
- Infernal Chaos (Intro)
- Serpent of Illusion
- Redemption
- Enfer
The price of the EP in India is Rs. 99 (INR) and abroad is 5$ (USD), excluding shipping charges. Each copy will include a cover, lyrics and will be personally signed by each member of the band. Contact – +918800478520
