when do we see a marriage album coming out??

@bimal-kalpa-hazarika: haha thank you :) I do weekend projects in my free time. Not enough time to do one genre full time :)

I'd love to work with the guitars if you'd let me. 

used the mantra that are used in marriage and made in a progressive metal..wow

This is probably my favourite of all your work. And I've been cranking your channel non-stop since discovering it over the weekend. Awesome work, Krish. I hope we get to work together one day :)

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Shuffle Your Feet COVER

In Strict Confidence - One Drop(DJ Francois vs. Kartagon Remix)

This composition started with an email Deepak Gopalakrishnan (https://twitter.com/chuck_gopal) sent me 3 years ago with a noisy home recording of an intro riff to what he felt might make a good ambient/melodic metal song and he was kicked about collaborating to make one. 

Well, I kept him waiting for about 3 years, till this artwork by Blaft (https://twitter.com/blaftness/status/496147826695368704/photo/1) inspired me to make a doom metal arrangement of the sloka used to solemnize Hindu weddings. And Deepak's riff kicks it off

मान्गल्यम् तन्तुनानेन मम जीवन हेथुनां। 
Maangalyam Thanthunaanena mama jeevana hethunaam
कन्ठेः बध्नामि सुभगे संजीव शरदः शतम्॥
Kantehe badhnaami subhage sanjiva sharadashatham

"This is a sacred thread. This is essential for my long life. I tie this around your neck O maiden having many auspicious attributes. May you live happily for a hundred years(with me)."

Of course, all good intentions, except, most Indian weddings are arranged marriages where an unsuspecting girl is thrown into the forbidding depths of hell as her parents' life savings are wiped out to initiate a property transfer of her life, career and reproductive rights to the groom's family. 

The composition seeks to capture this impending sense of doom as she takes a blind step into this hall of nightmarish horrors that is known as the average Indian arranged marriage. 

Vocals, Guitars, Cello - played on real instruments
Bass & Drums - programmed on Logic Pro

Doom Mangalyam

Stoned Jesus is back with a new song entitled "Molerats"! Originally written and performed by Moscow noise-rock punks Vagiant, it was reworked by StJ with intention to become a "Here Come the Robots" 7"" B-side. Some time passed, Vagiant is Fudger now, a 7" idea is postponed, #StJesusThirdLP is about to be finished soon, and "Molerats" is finally available! It could be either an experiment or a perfect teaser of what to expect from Ukrainian trio these days: musicianship is much tighter, arrangements are more complex, and the sonic pallette (once again by REVET Sound Studio) is near-flawless. Will this one make it onto album? Who knows...
