Abraxas is a five-piece metal outfit from Pune, India. Formed in September 2008, the band experienced widespread notice, and evolved into the monster it is today after earning a deserved opening slot for the mighty Iron Maiden at Rock in India, Bangalore in February 2009. The band has since supported metal heavyweights Katatonia, Suicide Silence, Cannibal Corpse and Megadeth, and performed all over India in cities like Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Cherrapunjee, Manipal, Bhopal, Indore, Gandhinagar, Hyderabad and Goa. Abraxas mesh genres together to create a distinguishable Metal sound. Abraxas' sound, coupled with their aggressive live performances led them to captivate audiences all over India.
As a testament to the uniqueness of their sound and live shows, Abraxas won a series of national band competitions in their early years - the revered RAIT Unchained competition and Campus Rock Idols (Edition 5), that helped them earn a support slot for heavy metal giants Iron Maiden at Rock in India. Abraxas went on to win the prestigious Mood Indigo Livewire title in 2010 and the Cherrapunjee National Rock Competition in 2011 too; among numerous other wins. Abraxas' highly appreciated performance at the Rolling Stone Metal Awards 2012 in Mumbai was their final gig with their original lineup. Two years on, the new lineup includes shred-meisters Chinmay Bokil on bass, Tiasunep Aier on guitar, and founding member/drummer Naman Sachdev on drums, taking their sound to directions anew.
The evolution of the band saw them progress to a lower, heavier tuning and enlisting extended range Ibanez Guitars and Bass, heralding a heavier change in Abraxas' sound. Abraxas have been striving to push their boundaries, defying a genre-pigeonhole and coming through as a hybrid of melodic death & groove metal at its best. Abraxas' inimitable brand of pure, aggressive melodic metal is a show that deserves to be witnessed live.
