The nods to the old school seems to have been on a rise in India thanks to new releases by Albatross and Kryptos, but now another great quintet has ‘risen from the ashes’ of past bands such as Zephyr and Apollonian Quest, bringing you Hellwind. The band’s line-up is as follows (with innovative duties spelled out):

Akshay Deodhar – The Vocal Viscount
Rajarshi Bhattacharyya – The Samurai of Shred
Kiron Kumar – The Creature of Riff Lagoon
Aditya Kadam- Super Commando Groove
Demonstealer – The Demon on Drums

That’s right, this dream line-up is all set to unleash their wizardry upon you. Take a listen to their demo or read more about the band on their Facebook page, and in their own words:

“So grab those tight clothes, put on your make-up, grab a few beers and head down for our show. Because if you look hard enough, the 80s never died…the decade only lay dormant somewhere deep within you. And now, the beast begins to rise again! Rock or die!”
