Peekay Embraces Djent on 'Merciless' and Plots an L.A. Move

The Hyderabad artist worked with guitarist Jonathan Edward and prog band Skyharbor's Keshav Dhar on the track

Hyderabad artist Peekay aka Pranati Khanna has been steadily working her way into a modern, polished and heavy sound and there’s a culmination with the band’s new song “Merciless.”

Co-written and produced by Khanna’s go-to collaborator Jonathan Edward and mixed and mastered by Mumbai-based guitarist-producer Keshav Dhar, “Merciless” has all the makings of a prog rock and djent song. It might just remind some of the style that was put forward by the likes of Dhar’s band, prog rock act Skyharbor.
