Indian underground black metal rarely goes this deep. Chennai’s DEMONOS @demonosofficial , the alter-ego of musician/curator @roydvanwinkle , unleashed "Polyhedra", a ritualistic slice of avant-garde occult black metal that feels less like a typical EP and more like a spiritual invocation.
Raw guitars of Roy Dipankar, unsettling piano work from Rohit Raghupathy @rohit_raghupathy and the relentless drumming of Ananya Patil @ananya_blastphegor shape a sound that channels the fierce energy of Devi Kali and Durga into something hypnotic and confrontational.
The title track pushes things further with guest appearances from Serpents of Pakhangba, @serpentsofpakhangba on guitar, co-arrangement, production and vocals, alongside Debapriya Chatterjee’s haunting voice that adds an eerie, almost shamanic dimension. Producer Tirthankar Ray @tiru.wav , @bluemonkinc made this EP atmospheric and beautifully divine black.
Released on cassette and digitally via Fiadh Productions @fiadhproductions , Polyhedra feels designed for listeners who crave the strange corners of metal, where spirituality, philosophy and sonic extremity collide. Not for the casual mosh-pit crowd, but for those who like their black metal mystical, cerebral and unapologetically occult.

Just a few examples of things fascists use to divide us. But MUSIC or any form of ART teaches us to let go of all those barriers and come together. There's no better time for a class struggle than NOW! The world has been divided enough. It's time to unite our voices of resilience and quite literally, scream together in harmony!
Wrote & recorded a verse for an upcoming production of the duo #Ashram, a Berlin - Kolkata based folktronic band. Recorded it at my favourite @bluemonkinc

Fragments from “Kon Hai Hum” — something close to heart, directed by @_tanaya_3001 for the hauntingly beautiful voice of @bisht.blues
Shot by me an year ago on @sonyalphain with Sony/Sigma lenses and a @dji_ronin gimbal mostly in the corners of SRFTI, with a piece of Dzukou Valley, Nagaland stitched in.

Huge thanks to Vijay, @thy_last_take@dustinmysoul , Harsh & @govindan.jeevan for trusting me with your valuable equipment ❤
This was the first time I ever shot something, and I couldn’t have asked for better people to share it with -- Yukta & Tanaya 🫂
I’ll always remember Sourab, Govindan, and Rajat patiently walking me through the gimbal, cameras, lenses, and lighting gear — most of which I was seeing for the first time 😂
I feel genuinely grateful to have friends like this — the kind who show up, support, and teach without a second thought.
What we made and what we felt while making it, is staying with me for a long, long time 🤍

Blue Monk Inc is tucked away on the rooftop of an old Bengali house in Naktala, Jadavpur. This studio is widely popular among independent artists and bands.
The reason behind this being, the man who runs the show: Tirthankar Ray or Tiru da as they lovingly call him.
Tiru da has a gentle demeanour and speaks with an air of consideration that only a very wise man has. Perhaps the Blue Monk is Tiru da. How are we to know?
Here’s our attempt at capturing his experience working front of house for shows, his obsession with finding the perfect tone for his bass and above all, his association with the independent music scene. Unscripted.
