Bhoomi

SWEAT AND BLOOD.. POWER CHORDS.. SCREAMING VOCALS.. BASS+DRUMZ LOCK DEFINES THE DIVINE OLD SCHOOL HEAVY METAL.

Bhoomi, formed in April 2002 with the sole intention of playing Old School Heavy Metal, inspired by Legendary bands like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas Priest,Black Sabbath, AC/DC etc. The band had a dream start at the National Law School 2002 when they were the first college band ever to get into the semi – pro finals by playing an all original set something which even the established acts back then didn’t dare to do.

They won the competition as the best college band that year and were applauded by fans and critics alike for the distinctive vocal harmonies, which was cleverly induced into the powerful brand of heavy metal they play. This was a huge bonus for the band as there were metal bands that didn’t have a single vocalist who could sing where as Bhoomi had 3 of them who could sing and sing well.

After the Victory at NLS there was no looking back for the band for they swept each and every competition in sight taking their winning tally to 21 wins out of the 22 competitions they took part. Some of the notable achievements are NLS (2002,2003,2004) winners, IROCK 2003 Mumbai, RAIT 2003, Mumbai, Headlined around 40 college festivals in South India, Half a Day Rock Concert organized by RSJ along with Skinny Alley and Parikrama. They signed off playing the competition circuit by winning the IIM-B rock competition in 2005. The Times of India also recognized the Band as one of the top bands of Bangalore along with Thermal and A Quarter and others. The Band now looks at recording their 1st album, which they hope to release it by the mid 2007 and hopefully get a record deal and break into the International Metal Scene..
