Pin Drop Violence

Pin Drop Violence is a Mumbai metalcore band formed in November 2000 by vocalist Pradeep Miranda and bassist Rohit ‘P-Man’ Pereira. It started out covering nu-metal acts such as Korn and Slipknot before settling into a mix of metal and hardcore punk.

Debut album Compose…Oppose…Dispose came out in 2004 on OML Records, distributed by Sony Music India, recorded on a minimal budget in a home studio with programmed drums. Follow-up Right II Riot arrived in 2007 on Counter Culture Records, recorded at Over The Top Studios in Mumbai with Fali Damania and co-produced by the band, with mixing and mastering by Goran Finnberg at The Mastering Room in Sweden.

In February 2009 the band played the Rock In India festival at Bangalore’s Palace Grounds on a bill headlined by Iron Maiden, and its track ‘Hard Decisions’, recorded with New Zealand producer Zorran Mendonsa, was selected for The Indian Metal Compilation distributed in France. The latest activity found in checked sources dates to 2009; the band’s current status is unverified.
