Aarlon – Dafan

New Delhi-based alternative rock/metalcore band Aarlon recently released their spellbinding eight-track debut album Dafan. Across the record, Aarlon shares fiery riffs, pulsating drums, dynamic sections as well as soaring vocals. In a statement, the band said, “Though there is not one central theme, the dark realities of a human soul have been laid down bare, without a shame. So in a sense, this is a commentary to all of us who would always point fingers, act defensive and offensive but fail to recognize our spitefulness and flaws.”

Anyasa – Athena

Goa-based electronic producer Anyasa is now out with his sophomore EP entitled Athena. Named after the Greek goddess of wisdom and strength, the record is a reflection of the artist’s deep house roots. The EP also included collaborations from singers Tanmaya Bhatnagar, Barbie Rajput, Abhilasha Sinha and Chitralekha Sen.
