If it’s a metal video about butt-cracks, chaddis and big ass problems (literally), it’s got to be Workshop! The men in uniform have just released a brand new music video for their track “Gajanand Dhige”.
Watch the video here:
The song is from their newest album ‘Made Love to the Dragon’. They previously released a lyric video for their first single, titled “She came”.

Indian thrash metal giants Sceptre have announced the release of their second full-length album and also released a video revealing
the band’s new logo. The album comes after a considerable gap of 5 years since the release of their debut record in 2008 ‘Now Or Never’.
Bass player Janus Sanyal says- “We have been writing the material for quite a while despite the band going through some line-up changes after our debut album was released. We finally took some time off and in early 2012 we started the recording process at Demonic Studios with Demonstealer (Demonic Resurrection/Workshop) engineering the album. We kept everything under wraps as we wanted to make a big impact this time. The album is finally ready and is going to release sometime in February. Sceptre fan’s can look forward some ass-kicking metal.”
The band’s new logo has been designed by Aakash Dwivedi, a talented young designer who has worked with Indian artists such as Albatross and Solar Deity and more recently did some artwork for sludge metal veterans Eyehategod.
Check out their new band logo here:
India’s Independent label Demonstealer Records, also one of the longest running Indian record labels that focuses on Extreme Metal music has now launched 3 new divisions; a booking agency, pr agency and a band consultancy. The booking agency handles top Indian bands like Bhayanak Maut, Demonic Resurrection, Inner Sanctum, Devoid and many more.
“With our booking agency we aim to be the one stop for promoters and event organizers to book metal bands for their shows. DSR has always been associated with quality and reliability in metal and we aim to carry that forward with this new venture as well. We also aim to be a secure channel for big international artists to book shows in India.” said Husain Bandukwala, Senior Booking Agent.
The DSR Bookings PR client list includes bands like Slain, Exhumation, Blood Meridian and The Circus and is also the country’s 1st Heavy Metal PR Agency.
Sahil Makhija, Proprietor of Demonstealer Records & DSR Booking said “ DSR has been doing PR for the longest time for bands on the label and Demonic Resurrection and we felt it was important to open this avenue up to other artists as well. There are no PR agencies for metal bands in this country and it is the need of the hour, bands aren’t always well equipped to do it themselves so that is where DSR PR comes into the picture.”
The band consultancy service offered by DSR is geared to prepare bands who aspire to make a career with music and get ahead in the industry. The intensive session covers everything from band building to studio prep to financial planning to stage management.

The album cover artwork was designed by Joachim Luetke who previously worked on the bands two albums ‘Death Cult Armageddon’ and ‘In Sorte Diaboli’.
