Technical thrash veterans MyndSnare from Bangalore, one of the first bands to join forces with Grey and Saurian, released their album Conditioned:Human in late 2008.

Undying Inc.

Undying Inc, the four-piece wrecking ball from New Delhi are now with Grey and Saurian. Having slogged it out in the scene for the better part of a decade now, the quartet broke into the top echelons of the metal fraternity a couple of years ago when they absolutely laid waste to The Mezz. Since then, they have been gigging regularly, with a few more broken bottles and bleeding noses being observed in the pits with each passing gig. One of their most memorable recent performances would be the RSJ 15th Year Anniversary party at Turquoise Cottage in February. Undying Inc teamed up with members of Delhi's legendary mosh mongers Joint Family, guest drummers from Another Vertigo Rush and Indigo Children and vocalists from Artillerie and Gates of Assault, to form an explosive 9-piece Undying Joint - and completely annihilated the venue with a cover of Slipknot's "The Blister Exists". Immediately following this was a short but intense set of Undying's own material which, needless to say, demonstrated as usual this band's incredible power on stage, particularly frontman Shashank.

Undying Inc are shortly commencing with the recording of a new full-length album with Anupam in the producer's chair. Watch this space and the website for updates. You know the drill anyway - send an email to saurian@greyandsaurian.com and say you want to be on the mailing list. Check out material from the last EP The Evilution Of A Manimal on the band's MySpace. If you want to buy any CDs from the band's back catalogue, just email keshav@greyandsaurian.com and we'll sort it out.

Don't forget to visit us too. It makes us happy. www.greyandsaurian.com.

The latest addition to the G&S record label...

...is none other than arguably the finest experimental hardcore band this side of the Atlantic - Scribe. We would be lying if we said we're anything less than delighted to have these quirky metal geniuses on board with Grey and Saurian - for frankly, Scribe have proved time and again with their phenomenal live act, why they are regarded as the torchbearers for experimental heavy music from this neck of the woods.

Here's looking forward to hearing a great new album and some killer live gigs this year - something that is now second nature to Scribe.

The band comprises Vishwesh K on vocals, Prashant Shah and Akshay Rajpurohit on guitar, Srinivas S on bass, Niraj Trivedi on drums, and Shadaab Kadri on guitar and atmospherics.

Get their debut album Confect. for free here and here. Here's the myspace link anyway - www.myspace.com/scribecore. Want more updates on Scribe? Just email saurian@greyandsaurian.com.

Bhayanak Maut album - just a month to go!

You heard it right. Bhayanak Maut - metalcore monsters from Mumbai and one of the first bands to team up with Grey and Saurian - are almost set to announce their self-titled sophomore release on August 1, 2009. This is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated albums from India this year, and we are absolutely thrilled with how it's sounding so far. The tracking process is complete, and Anupam is flexing his mixing chops to the limit. Suffice to say that it will be one of the greatest metal albums to come out of India, both musically and sonically. We're stoked here, and yes you will be too.

To subscribe to Bhayanak Maut's mailing list, go to www.bhayanakmaut.com and submit your email address. Also check out their MySpace for songs from the Malignant EP, and (soon) preview clips from the new album!
