History
In the summer fall of 2005 a very enthuisiastic metal head Pranit Michael tried revolutionising the college metal scene in Bangalore with a more mature sound. He was unsuccessful in his initial endeavours. At the first auditions of the famed St Josephs PUC which has played stable to some of the biggest names in metal in India Pranit and team did not fare too well.

Then he met Bennie leons another metal head who was not too interested in pursuing his musical talent as a vocalist as ge was interested in biulding a fair career for himself and settle down while taking the safe route in college. After a lot of pursuing and discussion Bennie agreed to sing on some particular conditions which he set as his basic principles of being part of the team.

Enter Dheeraj and Abhishai two professionals and the lineup was quite complete but yet not. A brief on these two would go like Dheeraj "dk" aka "Dee" is a professional classical guitarist having completed 6 grades from the Trinity school of Music London. Also the passion for metal never died. Since as early as the first grade he had some hidden metal talent which was to be discovered in a big way.

Abhishai Alburquerque a very rough and untamed but yet tight and professionally trained in belting skin and percussion joined the lineup after unsuccessful stints with different bands including Farenheit and Mystical Knowledge and of the sort. A thourough Josephite he joined the cause.

The band then completed the line up by including Clauwin and Akhilesh Iyengar and jammed harder than ever over the summer and monsoon in 2006 and were set to rock bangalore if not the Josephs scene.

The result


The band came a long way and achieved more than expected. They won almost all the competitions they took part in and more importantly revolutionised college metal by playing very mature music and covering sounds from bands of the likes of Korn and Slipknot  to name a few.

The song the Agony of war was very highly acclaimed by almost all on the Indian metal scene and most of the bands fans support the cause only because of this song.

Their new songs are unheard of and will be presented to Bangalore on their promotional tour of 2007 starting with a home production in collaboration wth Silver Blue Productions.....
