Nigambodh

Nigambodh

Nigambodh is a 5 piece Hindi Progressive Metal band from Delhi, formed in  the year 2009.The Name “Nigambodh Ghat” was decided randomly by the members while walking peacefully across the Ghats of Haridwar, later on to be called as Nigambodh. The band has spiritually alert members who drive lyrics that talk about existential dilemmas, of Salvation and Nirvana. The band is known for their experimental take on the progressive genre, the band relies on sounds that are a mix of metal, rock and certain basic classical melodies. The strongest aspect of the music that Nigambodh plays has been its lyrics in Hindi that rely heavily on spiritual, classical Indian texts in order to churn out pieces of songs that speak of existential and psychological dilemmas faced by the youth today. The root of their music lies in their ability to transcend genres and appeal to both, the posh and the local, the young and the old.

As such they don’t have any influence and defined genre. They create music and let the audience to absorb and categorise them.
Favourite bands/artistes is again a very subjective question for them  as each band member has his own taste and likes , but if brought down to favourite Indian bands/artistes that have influenced them are : Md.Rafi , Avinash Narayan, Avial .

When asked about their music, this was their reply and probably this is the best response we have ever got from a band playing at the great Hornbill International Rock Contest 2013 “I would tell them to expect nothing but to close there eyes , open their mind absorb in the feel and if this takes them back to their nostalgic phases , then the mission is done from our side .”
They haven’t really recorded the best track yet , it is still surfing in their collective sub conscience in a formless state .

Their Members are
Gaurav Basnet – Vocals
Manish Kestwal – Ambient Guitars/Backing vocals
Tushar Mohan – Low end Generator
Sandeep Juyal – Lead Guitars
Prateek Suri/Udit Mahar/Siddharth Kaushik – Drums
