Metalhonic New Album Release

Metalhonic is an Indian Modern Metal band From New Delhi, India, formed in 2019. The band comprises vocalist and guitarist Mohit Vig, and Drummer Rahul Rana. The band's debut Album "Origin" was self-released through metalhonic records in 2020. The band has released four studio albums and thirteen singles to date. Their fourth studio album, Sanctimonious To The End, was released on November 4, 2022.

The band's musical style takes inspiration from various sub-genres of metal including, heavy metal, progressive metal, nu-metal, and metalcore. Etc.

This album is a big achievement for the band. It took us almost a year and a lot of fun sessions to create it. After the release of the third record, The sickness is real, we were ready for the new chapter of metalhonic and wanted to make our musical style faster, heavier, and lyrically more aggressive. We wanted to test our limits as musicians and try different vibes, and I think we really pushed ourselves and came out stronger than ever before.

Everything is Produced, Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered at Metalhonic Records Studio, New Delhi.

The genre of the album can be described primarily as Thrash Metal, Progressive Metal, Metalcore, and Nu Metal. Regarding the artwork, the artwork was the first thing that was created before everything to lay the foundation of the album.

The phrase, Sanctimonious, means making a show of being morally superior. The whole idea started with this phrase while I was creating the artwork. Lyrically the album reflects on this topic while taking you on a journey. The main difference is, the story is from the perspective of the antagonist. I think this idea of thinking of yourself as superior to others is selfish and our history shows us the results of having these kinds of thoughts.

The main problem that we faced during the studio session was the production aspect and choosing the right songs for the album. We wanted a particular sound to match the vibe and we wanted to achieve that with the little equipment we have in the metalhonic studio. The struggle was huge but we managed to find the right sound we were after.

Best Jazz Venue in India

Those of you who have been around from the 1960's through the 1990's will remember the vibrant live music scene in almost every starred hotel in India. Those were the days when you walked into a nightclub like 'Rendezvous' at The Taj Mahal hotel and 'Supper Club' at the Oberoi Sheraton in Mumbai to see curtains going up on a band that was the prime focus of these outlets. Every seat in these restaurants allowed an unobstructed view of the band that performed every night on resident contracts. Today all this has disappeared thanks to some ridiculously high entertainment taxes on live music. Today, non off these hotels have complete bands playing save for a few that feature small duos or solo singers. The Lodhi in New Delhi, recently listed among the world's best hotels, decided to step in and rewind to the good old days. They got Goa's premier jazz quartet 'Jazz Junction' to move to Delhi on a resident contract and the decision has paid off in terms of footfalls generated by the band. Jazz Junction featuring singer Daniella Rodrigues, pianist Tony Dias,
bassist Colin D'Cruz and drummer Angelo Colasco began playing at The Lodhi in June 2018. Four months into the contract the band generated a sizeable following, with quite a few high profile guests choosing to celebrate their special occasion at the Elan bar where the band performs. Against all odds the rewind option proved to be a huge success and hopefully other properties around the country takes the cue to trigger a whole new revival  of live music.
