Shepherd is probably the only Bangalore-based sludge/heavy rock band from India. The band has been making waves in the underground, drawing Influence from the guitar-driven sounds of early 90's hard rock (Soundgarden, The Melvins, Eyehategod) and the aural assault of 80's hardcore punk (Black Flag, Discharge, Fear), the band has built a reputation for itself as an ever-evolving and unpredictable heavy rock entity. 

Shepherd is:
Deepak Raghu – drums/vocals
Namit Chauhan – guitars/vocals
Abhishek Michael – bass/vocals

Dirge was formed in January 2014, strongly influenced by doom metal with the likes of sludge and stoner. Bands like Candlemass, Black Sabbath, Eyehategod, Trouble, Sleep, Melvins, Autopsy, Acid bath etc heavily influence the band's sound.
The originals are composed on a Historic-myth-fiction lyrical theme about the resurgence of the violent Maya.
This makes the music of Dirge to be maddeningly sludge driven doom with fuzzed out overdrive, ‘10000 ton’ heavy riffs, low tuned distorted basslines with screaming angst-ridden vocals.
Lineup: 
Ashish Dharkar - guitars 
Varun Patil - guitars 
Harshad Bhagwat - bass 
Prathamesh Lele - drums
Tabish Khidir - vocals
