Bengaluru’s Shepherd and Mumbai’s Death By Fungi are releasing a joint album and it’s aggro as hell
Sludge, experimental hardcore, noise rock and mathcore—it’s not often you’ll hear bands in India apply all these labels to their music, let alone on one record. But you can expect all this and probably more on Shep//DBF, a split album that sees Bengaluru sludge band Shepherd and Mumbai hardcore act Death By Fungi combining forces.
Shepherd drummer Deepak Raghu says, “I’d come across DBF’s [EP] In Dearth Of last year, and I really liked it. I thought it would be a really good fit to have our songs and their songs on the same CD, to have an album out instead of an EP.”
Within a week of releasing their new EP, Death By Fungi already had a plan set for their next EP, now, with the band–drummer Aryaman Chatterji , vocalist - guitarist Vrishank Menon and bassist Kamran Raza (with new vocalist Tabish Khidir standing by)–and with recording engineers Apurv Agrawal and Drona Acharya. Menon says, “We’re fortunate for sure–people like Apurv are at the level of world-class engineers and they want to work with us. It’s kind of like a lifehack or something. We’re very lucky that way.”
