US Tour 2007
RUDRA is one of the leaders in the Asian Metal scene. The band was formed way back in 1992 in Singapore. Since then the band has never looked back or stopped its activity in the Metal scene. The band evolved from being a humble Death Metal band to the 'founders' of a new metal genre called Vedic Metal. To date RUDRA has released 4 full-length albums which have won critical acclaim all over the world. The fourth album was released in April 2005.Rudra is the name of an ancient Indian God of Destruction. The band is specifically named after this God to symbolize the aggressive character of its music.Rudra's music can be characterized as a bridge between the east and the west. Their unique way of incorporating Indian traditional music into Death/Black Metal has made them the pioneers in experimenting Indian classical music melodies in Extreme Metal. This aspect has won them much attention from the rest of the world. Rudra also brings in a third element to their music by including Sanskrit chants and mantras to evoke a mystical feel to their music. This unique musical creation is what is known to the world as Vedic Metal. The Vedic Philosophy basically inspires the lyrical outpourings of Rudra.Rudra is currently re-recording KURUKSHETRA, its 3rd album, to give it a new lease of life. The album will feature Joshua G Nair and Sean Loo as producers to recreate the magic that was BRAHMAVIDYA: PRIMORDIAL I.All booking/show enquiries, interview/promo requests and fan correspondence can be sent to [email protected] receive the latest news (and exclusive offers) about what's happening in the Rudra camp, please join the RUDRA FAN CLUB by sending an email to [email protected]
