‘My Dark Symphony-1833AD’ Arriving Soon in 2010
By: Jitesh Rajan .
Black metal anyone?
During the razz days during the mid 2000 there used to be a handful of black metal acts in Mumbai which regularly used to play live. Lack of originality ultimately led to their demise.
After giving a listen to 1833 Ad’s tracks on their myspace & reverbnation link from their forthcoming album “My Dark Symphony”, one can safely say they have experimented with their own brand of black metal. Melodic but at the same time brutal makes this Delhi metal outfit stand out from its counterparts in the Indian metal scene.
1833 AD
Originally founded by vocalist Nishant Abraham and bassist Sushmit Mazumdar in 2004, 1833 AD has been playing its own brand of Black Metal ever since. Dark riff oriented intros prepare you for the mayhem thereafter. With a distinctive vocal style, Nishant stamps his unique rasped vocal style to the band’s compositions. Rahul’s dark & grim melodic riffing adds a new dimension to the brutality of 1833AD’s music.I was most impressed by Sushmit’s bass work on tracks like “Empty shrine” & “Inheritance evil”. One of the best I have heard from bass players around in the Indian metal scene. With blast beats & double bass in abundance Shashank takes it up a level behind the kit. Their music can be best described as a fresh approach towards the black metal genre with some intricate musicianship.
With things heating up in the growing metal scene in our country, 1833 AD is most definitely the band look out for in the coming year.” My Dark Symphony” comes out mid 2010
