Indian Metal
Upcoming The Down Troddence Tour
The Down Troddence (TDT) is a metal band from Kerala, India, blending metal riffs with ethnic influences to craft a sound that challenges societal norms and amplifies silenced voices. Their music serves as both a shield and a weapon—a call to action against injustice and a bridge between cultures. The band is powered by Munz (Vocals), Varun Raj (Lead Guitar), Advaith Mohan (Rhythm Guitar), Nezer Ahemed (Bass Guitar), Ganesh Radhakrishnan (Drums), and Sushin Shyam (Keyboards). Together, they create a genre-defying soundscape that is visceral yet deeply rooted in tradition. TDT’s debut album, How Are You? We Are Fine, Thank You, introduced their distinct style. Tracks such as "Shiva," "Chapilla," and "Nagavalli" merge the raw energy of metal with traditional Indian elements, delivering hard-hitting themes with uplifting melodies. This album earned them a devoted fanbase, called the Adiyaalans, and eight Rolling Stone Metal Awards, including Best Band, Best Album, and Best Song, cementing their place in the Indian metal scene. Their upcoming album, AYAKTIHIS, pushes their mission further, confronting social realities with innovative sounds. Each track reflects their growth as artists and their commitment to breaking boundaries. Whether in the studio or on stage, The Down Troddence strives to forge an honest, lasting connection with listeners while disrupting the status quo.
