'Could Sitar Metal be the next stars of global metal' - Louder(Metalhammer) // 'Sitar Metal is the world's first Sitar Metal act , they shred hard on Sitars' - BBC Radio 6 Music

The Band’s debut music video went viral with 220,000 Views in a few weeks, being one of the only Indian Artists featured on a dedicated BBC UK Radio 6 programme & Leading Global Music & Lifestyle Magazines like Firstpost, Loudwire, Metal Injection, Guitar World, Louder Sound, Metal Hammer, Score. Global Musical icons like Bollywood Superstar Arijit Singh, Raghu Dixit have also supported & shared the band’s music & vision and thoroughly appreciated the stand in the Global Music field.

A cultural collision | Truly original, unique & first of it’s kind, Sitar Metal hails as the true inventor & pioneer of the sound of not only sitar fronted Indian Classical & Rock/Metal fusion, but the broader spectrum of Indian music coming together with World Music sounds. Their music isn’t only hell-bent Hindustani Classical, catchy, heavy & unapologetically original, but they are the only band to not simply use Indian Classical music in small proportions just for it’s name’s sake, but truly cementing the idea of Indian classical music & instruments ‘fronting’ an entire Rock/Metal band, creating music that equally represents Indian classical & rock/metal music, fronted by the sitar.

Sitar Metal has emerged as a league of their own in the global music scene, not only because of their music & live performance experience, but also because of the founder Rishabh Seen, who single-handedly created the idea & vision of sitar metal back in 2014 by covering bands like Meshuggah & Animals As Leaders and founding his earlier project ‘Mute The Saint’ (2016), later going viral with over 5 million youtube views. Not too long after that, being mentioned by James Hetfield (Metallica), Arijit Singh, Steven Wilson, Guthrie Govan, Bryan Beller, Thomas Haake & more in YouTube videos, interviews, radio shows & social media posts.
