Yes I know it's not the third week... but it's the third band so shhh!!
Today I want to talk about a band called Skyharbor. Explaining them is kind of difficult, so here is their Facebook bio:
Today I want to talk about a band called Skyharbor. Explaining them is kind of difficult, so here is their Facebook bio:
"Starting out as a simple bedroom studio project, guitarist Keshav Dhar
has seen SKYHARBOR quickly evolve into one of India’s hottest metal
prospects, with huge admiration coming in from some of the biggest names
in metal worldwide.
An astonishing amount of buzz also surrounded the band's first ever performance at the Bacardi NH7 Festival in Pune, India earlier this month, where they played to ove r 1,000 people and were one of the weekend’s highlights.
The long awaited debut album from SKYHARBOR promises to be a landmark release for the Indian independent music scene, in no small part thanks to the incredible number of international guest appearances it will see, including the likes of Marty Friedman (ex Megadeth), Daniel Tompkins (ex TesseracT), Vishal J. Singh (Amogh Symphony) and Sunneith Revankar (Bhayanak Maut).
SKYHARBOR released their debut album 'Blinding White Noise : Illusion & Chaos' on April 23rd, 2012 worldwide via Basick Records."

I can't really explain how they work, but I do know that their music is freking mind blowing! Here is their most popular track, called Celestial.
I like how it separates from the really noisy sounds that Indian metal bands go with. The riffs are clean and the interludes are engaging. One could say it's just because of the massive amounts of post processing, but either way, on face value, it sounds pretty awesome.
Sometimes I like the fact that you can't really tell the difference between this and any North American sound. It's a touchy subject for some because one could argue that there is no genuineness in the Indianness of it, but it still sounds really good man!!!
Anyway, you can hear some of their other stuff if you youtube them, or go to their Facebook page for links to explore.
That's all for today. Until next week then (hopefully).
