Biography
The band was formed by Khushal Bhadra when one fine day looking for someone with similar musical taste he stumbled upon Filip Petersen’s Youtube channel where he used to record guitar covers of rare underground bands. This immediately sparked some conversation between the two and the love for this genre of music. This led to further discussions and creation of their debut demo titled ‘Hypnosis Sessions’.
Since the two of them were thousands of miles away from each other it took some time to get used to creating music online. They faced issues recording the drums; eventually it had to be programmed because it was a difficult task to arrange for a drummer recording remotely.
With little to no knowledge about releasing music and several budget constraints they somehow managed to release their demo online through Bandcamp, iTunes, SoundCloud, Facebook etc.
Their demo ‘Hypnosis Sessions’, released on 15 August 2013 was well received by the underground doom metal community and was critically acclaimed for it’s musicianship. After some success of their demo release they were signed by an indie record label from US called Easyrider Records(now RidingEasy Records).
The record label re-released their original demo ‘Hypnosis Sessions’ somewhere around April 2014 by remixing and re-mastering their songs. Post their debut album Spiral Shades released an EP ‘Children of Doom’ on Oct 2015 featuring covers of artists that have influenced them as musicians including Bobby Liebling and Scott Weinrich.
