Bevar Sea releases lyric video for Motorhead cover

Stoner/ Doom metal band from Bangalore- Bevar Sea, have just released a lyric video for their cover of Motorhead’s “Turn you round again”. The video is reminiscent of the formula they used for their track “Universal Sleeper”, but no complaints!

Watch it here:

This is the first single to be released from the Motorhead India – Tribute Album. The compilation features other bands like Millennium, Dying Embrace, Witchgoat, 1833 AD and Shepherd, among others. The album is slated for a May 2013 release.

Black Side of the Moon: Tribute at Counter Culture

This is no ordinary Pink Floyd tribute, and if you haven’t got that from the title alone… well, that’s what we’re here for! Bevar Sea and Shepherd (both from Bangalore) along with a few other artists from the music scene here will bring you a tribute to the Syd Barrett era in Pink Floyd as part of their Time Capsule Month.

Click here for details on Counter Culture’s Time Capsule month of Tributes.

This series of tributes kicks off with stoner/ doom metallers Bevar Sea and Shepherd getting together with some other “special guests” for some metal versions of Pink Floyd (or so we’re guessing).

When: 11th August
Time: 8PM onwards
Free entry*
Where: Obviously at Counter Culture, Whitefield, Bangalore (map)

Line-up:

Shepherd: Formed by Deepak Raghu (from Dying Embrace, Bevar Sea and many others) and his friends, Shepherd play a noisy, tuned down, slow sludgy music that is one of a kind in the music scene.

Ganesh Krishnaswamy, Ananth Menon & Co: The old blues/psych tag team from Parachute XVI, Ganesh (also fronts Bevar Sea) and Ananth Menon (also from Galeej Gurus) get back together for this tribute gig for the first time since disbanding, and they’re joined by Deepak on drums, and a few other friends.

Anand Vijayasimha: The ex-frontman of the psych/post-rock prodigies Drones from the Turbine will be performing a solo acoustic set featuring songs from Syd’s solo output.

Bevar Sea: Bangalore-based stoner doom metal quintet Bevar Sea has been functional since 2010. Without doubt, they are the grooviest, gloomiest band in town who will riff it up with a one-time only set they’ve worked on for this special occasion.

We’re going to see a whole new side to Floyd on 11th August 2012. And with the gig scene being so dry at the moment, we’d highly recommend that you be there! It’s free entry anyway!

Bevar Sea reveal debut album details

We’ve heard music from the ‘Trendslaughter Sessions’ and also a couple of other live recordings, but Bevar Sea fans don’t have to wait too long for the studio album. The heavy hitting stoner-doom band from Bangalore have just revealed their self-titled debut details.
Bevar Sea (approx 40 min)

Tracklist:

1. Universal Sleeper
2. Abishtu
3. The Smiler
4. Mono Gnome
Guitar player and main songwriter, Srikanth Panaman, says: “We’ve had a great time performing these songs since we made our stage debut. After a year of playing them out and getting better, we thought it was the right time to hit the studio and put out our first album. On the one hand, it’s been a challenge to capture the live vibe on the recordings, and on the other, being in the studio and listening to the songs over and over has allowed us to fine-tune the arrangements. One of our favourite engineers/producers is going to be mixing this, so this is going to be a mindblowing experience for us.”

The self-titled album has been penned for an early-summer 2012 release via the recently formed Iron Fist Records in India. CDs and digital downloads will be the first available media, with more formats on the cards later. The CD will come in a 6 panel digipack, including a 12 page booklet, with extensive illustrations across the layout. According to Rahul Chacko, lead guitarist and in-house band artist: “The art for Bevar Sea has always been about trying to portray the spirit of the music, while using reference points from the lyrics, and incorporating a healthy dose of influence from some of our favourite comic artists. The album art is probably our most ambitious collection yet, and so far it’s shaping up pretty good!”

The band will wrap up recording, and support label-mates, scene veterans, and fellow old schoolers Kryptos for their third album’s launch party on February 18th at Kyra Theatre in Bangalore. This occasion will also see the launch of Bevar Sea’s new website, and the debut of their new song, “Where There’s Smoke (There’s A Pyre)”.

Bevar Sea is Ganesh Krishnaswamy on vocals, Srikanth Panaman and Rahul Chacko on guitars, Avinash Menon on bass, and Deepak Raghu on drums.
