Noiseware | id

Noiseware is an Experimental/Progressive Metal band from Pune, India. Formed in mid 2009, the 5-member band (Aman Virdi, lead vocals; Adhiraj Singh, guitar; Aniket Patni, guitar; Bob Alex, bass; and Gautam Deb, drums) has been generating major hype in the underground metal scene since its inception, and lived up to it in their first very show at The Hammer Fest II, 2009 barely a month into formation.

With a very unpredictable musical direction, Noiseware’s music has been regarded by many as beautifully melodic yet punishingly heavy at the same time. Deriving influences from a wide variety of music, each element adds to the sound that is Noiseware. The intricacy and technicality of their music, combined with their explosive stage presence, has gathered them a strong fan base and approval from critics. The band firmly believes in being different not just for the sake of it, but to constantly innovate and improve the quality of material that Indian Metal has to offer.

Barely a show old, the band took Soundclick.com’s international metal charts by storm, with their first ever single ‘G-String’ hitting #2 out of over 75,000 songs, sitting right under renowned artists like Periphery. Then came the bigger bang, when the band sent shockwaves in the underground rock/metal community, beating some of the top rock and metal acts of the country at Mood Indigo Livewire 2009, to open for the progressive giants Porcupine Tree.

In early 2010, the band had a change in line up and welcomed Aman Virdi of ‘Vyzasa’ fame on vocals, who gave a new dimension to the music with the inculcation of clean vocals.

Recently, the band also became the first band in the country to inculcate eight-string guitars, taking things to a new un-explored level after which the band toured on Hammer Fest India III creating waves across the country.

The band was recently featured on Rock Street Journal's "Breaking Boundaries Vol. 5" Compilation CD along with Animals as Leaders, Chimp Spanner, Cyclamen among others. The band is currently working in the studio on their new materials... .
