Adhiraj Singh, guitarist with Pune experimental metal band Noiseware and producer at Refractor Studios, brings the djent riffs and Internet humor  to his band, which picked up a win at the Rolling Stone Metal Awards 2011 for Best Song [“23”]. While Singh has been mostly caught up with recording other bands recently, his current tunes show how much electro metal folks listen to, and how Deftones are a mandatory inclusion for most metalheads.

Tycho ”“ “A Walk” 

I always love it when I connect with a song on the very first listen. I heard this with perfect ambient lighting the very first time, so it brought the feels! It has this analog-y vibes happening”¦very lush.

 

Cloudkicker ”“ “Signal/Noise”

This one’s been playing for a while and I haven’t gotten enough of it. Such a simple song, but it’s almost like the soundtrack to ”˜You can do anything in life’. Cloudkicker always brings it for me.

 

Hans Zimmer ”“ “An Ideal Of Hope”

Hans *expletive* Zimmer. Need I say more?

 

Deftones ”“ “Swerve City”

This song is very reminiscent of the earlier Deftones stuff for me, for some reason. Such a great vibe and I love the production values!

 

Seven Lions ”“ “Days To Come” (ft. Fiora)

The first time I heard this, I was blown away by the production! Love the way Jeff ties up the low end with his synths. That apart, it’s such a solid melody and groove. I really dig the video as well.
