BHAYANAT MAUT (Mumbai):
Vinay - vocals
Rahul – drums
Venky- guitars
Vinit- bass
Bhayanak Maut was named so to dispel all notions about band names in
India, which are either corny or atrociously Indian. The name was therefore
chosen as it defines them as a band, fun yet crushing. Funnily, the name itself
has been able to generate a million reactions from metal heads all over, reactions
ranging from amusement to amazement.
The band came together roughly a year ago and has already played quite a number
of shows impressing people all over. Their music is an eclectic mix of metal
/ hardcore / death metal /nu-metal. This is owing to the varied musical interests
of the band-members ranging from Death to Deftones. The band believes in making
original music as they believe that it is their extension into the musical dimension.
Though the band line up changing frequently, the band still held on and the
line-up couldn’t get any better now with Vinay, Rahul, Venky and Vinit.
The band has seen a meteoric rise in their popularity playing at competitions
like RAIT Horizons, IIT Chennai – Saarang (Finalists), NLS Strawberry
Fields Bangalore and numerous gigs at venues like Razzberry Rhinoceros, Cyclone.
They played at the first gig at JRO 2004 and also came third at Blitzkreig 2004
– the IIT Delhi competition. They also coveted top honours at the prestigious
NLS STRAWBERRY FIELDS, Bangalore.
They have also released a 7 song album called ‘Hell Is All People’
which is a great hit among metal fans.
