Bhayanak Maut is a deathcore band from Mumbai , India .

history

The band Bhayanuk Maut was founded in 2003 in the Indian city of Mumbai . The name is not derived from a song by the band Megadeth , but supposedly from a horror film by the Ramsay Brothers . Bhayanak Maut comes from Hindi and means, loosely translated, "terrible death".

The band's first album, Hell Is All People , was released in 2004 . The first EP Malignant was released in 2006. Bhayanak Maut can be heard on the compilation Fine Tuned Disaster with other Indian bands such as Pin Drop Violence , Scribe , Skincold , Amidst the Chaos and Bitchslap . Four songs were recorded on this compilation, three of which were new. In August 2009, the second album Bhayanak Maut was released on Gray and Saurian Records from New Delhi . The album received a review in the September 2009 issue of Rolling Stone magazine , making it the first album by an Indian band that was criticized there. In 2010 the second EP, Metastasis , was released, which the band offers for free download. A new album is scheduled for 2012.

The group played in 2007 on the "Great Indian Rock" (GIR) in New Delhi , together with the Norwegian metal band Enslaved . In November 2008 the band played with Satyricon and Sahg at the GIR in Mumbai. On December 5, 2009, Bhayanak Maut played Deccan Rock in Bangalore with Textures and Amon Amarth . The band also played at the Inferno Metal Festival Norway 2011 in Oslo . In the same year the group was nominated in 6 categories at the Rolling Stone Metal Awards . At the end of October 2014, the group released their third studio album called Man, initially on a digital level.

Musician

Since it was founded in 2003, the group has had to struggle with several line-up changes. Today's lineup of the six-piece band consists of the two singers Vinay Venkatesh and Sunneith Revankar, the bassist Swapnil Bhumkar, the drummer Rahul Hariharan, and the two guitarists Aditya Gopinathan and R. Venkatraman.

The former drummer Jai Row Kavi (ex- Pin Drop Violence ) replaced Hariharan on the drums in the meantime, as Hariharan flew to England in August 2009 to begin his studies there. Rahul Hariharan is now back in the band. At the beginning of 2010 Vinay Venkatesh announced that he only wanted to work with the band in the studio, but later returned as a full member of the band. Sriran Sharma ( vocals ) and Jaison Lewis ( bass guitar ) are other former members of the band.

style

The music of the group can be assigned to deathcore , which is however influenced by melodic death metal . The musicians themselves are fans of different styles of music. The texts of the group are mostly written in English .

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ A film by one of the Ramsay Brothers with this name cannot be verified via the Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema by Rajadhyaksha / Willemen, IMDb or other databases. A mistake about the direction of the film is likely, since the Ramsay Brothers were almost the epitome and almost the only producers of Indian horror films in the 1970s and 1980s. Possibly the film Bhayanak ( Memento from March 23, 2012 in the Internet Archive ) (1979) by SU Saiyed is meant.
