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 .
