Mute The Saint aaa jhooth bolda!

[@Obssy]

[@sayantansengupta5820]

heard 9 tyms.... frm front to end

[@Athan0503]

Found your album a week ago, listened to it 15 times - The Fall of Sirius is the absolute bomb and really catchy. I just keep returning it to it when I have a couple of free minutes between work! More albums asap, thanks :3!

[@fvux5393]

Any chance you will be touring? Passing through the Netherlands?

[@wherepostrockdwells]

This is fucking awesome! Fresh, unique and tight on so many levels. Rishabh Seen, you beauty!

[@rameethhavenkatesh2603]

Rishabh Seen ,fgffy

[@emilmarian9964]

One of my favorite albums. Remember, there's only one band on the face of the earth with this music.

[@sanathmanikkara2896]

Please do listen to cynic machine by Project Mishram. Similar music

[@mozisgrimm140]

I wasn't ready for this to be as epic as it is.

[@cdnit]

wow!

[@akshitjha6251]

The last song stole the show for me. Awesome drumming JARED! Didn't expect that chica chica beat in the middle. xD

[@progstation]

Flawless! Absolutely brilliant. May the Prog be with you my friend! 🤘

[@tommylight1312]

This is incredibly well mixed.

[@Capt_shred]

Thomas Bowen thank you so much man!! So glad you like it as it was an incredible challenge. Comments like these make it all worthwhile hehe much appreciated 👍🏻

[@2ndPortal]

plzzzzz make the sitar present not drowned by the rhythm guitar next time! rhythm guitar is always background

[@ashaypednekar3948]

i feel the purity of sitar and the rawness of guitar put together.. that's what was needed to be different.. i never felt a band that gave out such clean and raw notes together at same time.. its beautiful and at the same time just moves you with that change.. keep up the good work..

[@Capt_shred]

Ashay pednekar thanks man you rule!!

[@ashaypednekar3948]

you guys nailed it..:D now expectations are higher..:)

[@iggypopforyou]

Good vibes are god vibes... Mute the saint, but love the artists...Don't stay away too long. This train is picking up passengers. You don't want to miss that. Get on board. The vibes will drive the train. Destination unimportant. The ride is everything. So climb on board, and enjoy the ride.

[@Capt_shred]

Brian Murphy beautiful!

[@jesseinfinite]

First song in, and this is what I was waiting for. Finally the sitar has an identity, creates an atmosphere, and overall the songs while they may have the song writing quips here and there, this album works well and is a cohesive masterpiece. Oh and oh, the changes made in the older songs are noticed and well appreciated. This is awesome. \m/

[@Capt_shred]

Sudeb Sarkar haha! thank you Sudeb! I'm glad you enjoy the final product 😁🤘🏻

[@fassbenderc.c.6590]

im here from rob scallon

[@anandclawdgr8]

Sounds promising. Fresh and full of colors.

[@samirhusain2245]

Found out about this while looking into Periphery (that cover was pretty sick too) and I am not disappointed at all. Incredible job!

[@anandclawdgr8]

part that starts from 18:25 reminds me of old movies based on history where Ancient Tamil court musicians do a riff war kinda stuff. I sincerely appreciate your hardwork.

[@nanzimma1]

this is so dense, requires headphones and much time. bravo, sir. I've long maintained from my Bharatanatyam days that traditional instruments (mridangam, sitar, vena and ghat am especially) are ripe for metal adaptation.

[@KaushikBaruaJai]

@Rishabh I really hope this goes out to a million people! Props to my brother Jared for the brilliant work on the groove section. Would love to see the whole band live soon!

[@naturalbornteachers]

You are 1of the most spectacularly technical & challenging Bands on Earth alongside King Crimson, Dream Theater, Animals as Leaders. PROG with a capital P. Simply SUPERB 👏👏👏👏🔥☝🌎❤

[@rey89874]

I'm loving this ...

[@clayunderearth1884]

My life is complete. *complete!*

[@76madhur]

[@sayantansengupta5820]

[@sayantansengupta5820]

thanks a tonne fr providing us wd sch awesome music... take a bow

[@johncollier870]

Wow guys, I've been following Rishabh's work for a while and was awaiting this release. It's much more than I could have expected and wonderfully composed and performed. Bravo, my friends

[@Capt_shred]

John Collier awesome thanks for enjoying it!!

[@rajivmenon91]

This is good. Keep up the good work, not everyone will like it but i promise you that those who do will love it and share this beauty. \m/

[@harsahaisingh]

Bloody well done mate, please keep em coming. You guys have a great sound, and sitar definitely gives so much more depth to music, especially the mood of the tune. That track 'Calypso' sounds like a jugalbandi and is so much fun to listen to. Let it be known guys that you are contributing something good to this world, your lives and efforts are not going to waste.

[@Capt_shred]

Harry man... thank you for the moving and righteous comment!! So glad you enjoy the stuff man :)

[@BismoySutar]

This is amazing! Keep rocking! You have one permanent fan now ;)

[@FahadMehfuz]

the change is gladly welcomed :) bahut acha hain yaar well done guys. keep up the good work :) \m/

[@Paolo8772]

This is the best thing I've heard released in the lifespan of a anyone else who's living music except Steve Vai. Let met explain: I like this even better than "Animals as Leaders" which I think is better than... I digress. But these guys have it ALL! Almost too perfect? LOVE it.

[@Capt_shred]

Paolo thank you so much ❤️, please help us spread the word!!

[@coconutgun4390]

I've been waiting for a while but it's worth it. It sounds amazing, I can't wait until they start to tour around. Best of luck

[@iggypopforyou]

Speechless

[@SitarSnub]

So this is gonna be a long review. First of all, really amazing work you guys have put in. A year ago i would never have though that someone would combine these two genres together. Now as a sitar player, I know how difficult it was to create this album. Some songs are just spectacular, like sound of scars and the fall of sirius. Now what i thought that was lacking was individuality. Now, you could argue argue that you do have various styles in each songs, and each one is different. And i completely agree , when you listen to songs like sound of scars for like a 100 times (like me), you appreciate the fine nuances. But to a common person, who has no knowledge of music, it sounds the same. That's the only negative thing i can think of. To end this, i just want to say that you guys did an incredible job, I would have liked it even more if you guys had switched up , or rather added a few more songs experimenting properly (i do not count calypso) in other sounds,genres etc.Taking the madness of many as an example, some of the songs you have to hear it over and over to fully love it, just like your song. However like they have a range of songs, from ectogenesis to arithmophobia to braindance, each one has an individual identity.Not to say that your songs dont have that, they do. Its just that it somehow feels like a continued song at some parts, which is not to insulting you in any way, as it is fabulous. I would have enjoyed it even more if you had added different elements, like your post rock. Everything else from harmonies (fall of sirius) to amazing breakdowns (sound of scars) to melodies (in silence...) it had. But great job, i aspire to make music like you in the near future.

[@mixmastermind]

SitarSnub what common person with no knowledge of music would ever be listening to progressive metal fusion music with sitar as a lead instrument?

[@mistakenintegrity]

Brilliant! Ever since I picked up the guitar a few years ago, it has been my dream to make raga based metal. So thank you for paving the path to making it a reality! Please continue to create more of this goodness while sticking to classical roots. I think it can take our music quite far!

[@lordcanti445]

This album is awesome, I've been waiting on this for a while now. Great job guys

[@Capt_shred]

LordCanti4445 so glad u enjoy it!

[@aaronczerwinski4125]

This album is a real surprise in lots of good ways :) I definitely dig it lots! Way to go! :)

[@muthu1046]

Fantastic!.. I'll definitely buy this album in CD format from Redwolf!..

[@Eccentrics]

Phenomenal album. Proud of you guys. :)

[@zacroe4459]

gives me a chillen in a jungle vibe

[@ayushmalla6262]

just what we all needed i guess.... Such perfection and beautiful combination of all the instruments... beautiful compositions ...very tight band :D gonna order soon some merch and cd :)

[@sidhantkapoor6982]

this is so FUCKIN good all the best guys

[@anuragranjan6451]

Wow! Just wow! This is one of the finest fusion bands I've heard in a long time. And dare I say, you guys are definitely one of the best Indian bands in the current metal scene. Very original music. Amazing drumming! And, the sitar adds so much to your sound. Pure eargasm. Fabulous guys! The inspiration from Animals as Leaders and Liquid Tension Experiment is very much noticeable, and in a good way. Very fresh music. Amazing. Keep up the awesomeness. Waiting for your next album.

[@Capt_shred]

Anurag Ranjan thank you Anurag!

[@Ipherix]

I'm here because of a comment on Rob Scallon's sitar metal video lol

[@kkd324]

This happens when classical meets progressive!! Great job guys keep doing what you do! :) :)

[@patricksallings7281]

Amazing! On repeat...

[@TORCSBotStudy]

You blokes are brilliant! I'd love to hear more from you. If you stay together I'm sure you have some amazing albums in you.

[@sanjeevsubba3101]

Flawless! rock on! bro Rishabh!!!!!! \m/

[@sai._.ganesh]

That portion of calypso from 18:23 to 19:36 is just awesome!!! 😍 I could hear if till infinity and would never get bored with it. keep up the good work, do more great stuff!!👍

[@viktorvodrazka4756]

And my working day has now just got better....... thank you for moral support :) .............

[@MrJorge3010]

At first, I really wasn't sure but I must say you've convinced me :) in the end, I was very impressed with this first experiment, well done!

[@pranjalmehta37]

This is one of the best blends of 2 completely different genres of music I've ever heard.Would love to see you guys grow :) ++ came here from Thapar University.

[@mode3517]

JARED, SHASHWAT... SO ON POINT

[@EnPotteplante]

This is really awesome!

[@itsimroze]

you guys are beasts! it's just we admire foreign musician like petrucci or Steve vai but our Indian sarod/sitar player r nothing less! it's just musicians in India are totally underrated and are not given much attention and fame!

[@anubandhapradhan5942]

Awesome brother keep it up👊🏾

[@joshua868]

I dig it.

[@johnlarose7268]

INCREDIBLE

[@Paolo8772]

I LOVE this!

[@vikaschandkatoch]

This is fucking amazing

[@Capt_shred]

Vikas Katoch glad you dig it! ;)

[@mode3517]

RISHABH. FUCKING FANTASTIC JOB, MATE

[@utsavacharya2117]

i am from nepal. .i love indian classical music and fuck yeah this is pure gold. .

[@ChariotOfSouls]

well done rishabh !!

[@Jrocka7x]

Do I hear Slayer and Dream Theater influence on the end? I wasn't ready. good show. You guys should hit up Babymetal for a future tour. I'm serious. lol

[@Capt_shred]

Jrocka7x yes!! Thanks though haha not a bad idea actually :)

[@ud_finowa]

bawa hrkuch kaam h yr... respect ur and ur band's work..just love it.... #hats_off #devil_horns_up \m/

[@tasiociafancelli794]

just daaamn!! So much creativeness in this album that my pineal gland can't handle it hahaha. Those back and fourth from the sitar and guitar are just hilarious. All you guys did an outstanding work and I wish you get a good amount of recognition because you deserve it by far, too bad that the music business only gives credit to the groups that suck their dick. Even do, I recently found a hidden geme in jazz: Cory Henry & the Funk Apostles, I'm sure you will dig it. thank you for the music lads

[@Capt_shred]

Tasio Cia Fancelli thank you!

[@JetTeamProduction]

Wow that's pretty awesome :O

[@thenightismyrefuge]

AMAZING!

[@AhsanulHadi]

Fabulous !

[@Capt_shred]

18:02 my personal fav riff on the album :)

[@mode3517]

and JOSH, FUCK YES SIR

[@Capt_shred]

Modimus Prime thank you! ;)

[@TheFissionchips]

Team up with Amogh Symphony. He's already mixed traditional with technical metal and has no AAL influence. So did Vai on Firegarden.

[@aakashdhotre4978]

wow ❤❤❤❤❤

[@gdkillswitch]

Drumming is too damn good.....its so so aggressive, though the sitar wants to take the attention but the grooviness is getting controlled by the guitar and the drum... it needs more listening....very good work on guitar and drums. blending sitar to this project is an creative initiative....But i would love to listen to this album minus the sitar... may be few songs...but good work guys

[@EscargotVonKaninchen]

I'd actually love to hear the sitar more, (I mean in the production), the guitar and guitars sound really typically modern metal and we get the impression to have a sitar placed at the end, above a guitar/drums background tune (even a good one). It would be really cool to have less reverb on the sitar and less compression on guitar/drums !

[@DrTacoPHD665]

Sounds like what Shakti would have come out with if given another 50 years and extended range guitars.

[@spacecadet8843]

I think that sitar seeing as it is a intrument usually used for folk music would best be used with a similiar effect that Amocualli use, not just as a sort of other guitar.

[@SaiHarshadrummer]

epic epic....

[@bipinsinghrawat4695]

Jugalbandi Level Over 9000...

[@matchsticklepo]

damn this is groovy

[@mode3517]

FUCKING LOVELY

[@shreyasmahangade3774]

FRESH MATERIAL

[@Santanuhazarika31]

I second Skudd Butt !!

[@mistakenintegrity]

A bit of Within Destruction (As I Lay Dying) at the end and Straws Pulled at Random (Meshuggah) every now and then lol Not saying that there's anything wrong with that :)

[@PureMetalBanzai]

Not my thing at all but I applaud them for being different.

[@ilikebeinganonymous8666]

Rishabh Seen Dude you should come to Bangalore and do a show here..

[@DC33879]

Josh, did you use your Agile or the Ibanez RG9QM when recording this?

[@Capt_shred]

DC 33879 hi friend. For this recording I used my agile as it has my custom lundgren pup installed 🤘🏻

[@DC33879]

Josh Seguin Definitely can't go wrong with Lundgren!👍🏻

[@Capt_shred]

DC 33879 the core of my sound brotha! Actually currently having a brand new 9 made with some slanted Lundies. Def be making some new vids soon with that 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@DC33879]

Josh Seguin Looking forward to the videos! So do you still have the stock pickups in your RG9QM? Picked up one of those and was very impressed with the value for the price. Definitely a solid 9 string! Will be ordering some Lundgren M9s for it soon. 🤘🏻

[@Capt_shred]

DC 33879 rad!! Ya man the rg9 is killer for the price. Great neck. The stock pups are powerful and dirty... works for me for live but studio the Lundgren's are way superior so good choice!

[@abhijitpai2409]

Tour dates?

[@maximusragnar203]

this album is just awesome......extremely eargasmic ....(only thing which i dont like is 7:16 ; Sitar's use with the breakdowns )

[@Capt_shred]

Maximus Ragnar meant to a bit ugly intentionally in that part hehe, but so happy you enjoy the album!!

[@stevebarnett999]

May I audition for four or more vocals

[@tommypatton3556]

It's always nice to hear music of this genre with a FULL band... Programmed drums get old pretty quick.

[@Capt_shred]

Tommy Patton agreed :)

[@GuilhermeAguiar]

The Paypal system on redwolf is not working to buy the physical CD! Can you check that for me and give me a feedback, please?

[@GuilhermeAguiar]

Rishabh Seen Thanks, buddy! Cannot wait to put my hands on this cd!

[@GuilhermeAguiar]

Sure, man!! Thanks for checking it out! I'll definately try again tomorrow! Cheers!

[@ashvsme]

Facing some problems in ordering the merch pack. Is this normal?

[@ashvsme]

I contacted the site about it. It seems solved now. Already ordered. Thanks for responding. :)

[@highsparrow1347]

cn sm1 gimme all songs n d name of their respective raags? eg 1st was in lalit or todi im not sure

[@explosionate]

i think the djent guitar should be turned down and the sitar plugged into an amp.

[@sarthakray5887]

Song at 2:22?

[@sayantansengupta5820]

4:53

[@ascari100]

Where is that guy who always disses them in detail. lulz.

[@Atmost11]

Praise Mute the Saint. This music is an important development. Whereas previous Hindu metal had either included too much jazz fusion elements or too much Western standard metal influence. Or, had been a 90%/10% mix of western style and Indian style. I would estimate roughly that this here is 30%/70% with mostly Indian style. I hope you add vocals to it, mostly Indian-style beautiful singing, with full lyrics not just solfeggios and swaras, along the lines of light classical bhajan music, and really great poetry. With vocals you get out of the technical music trap. With poetry added you get alot more emotion and alot more mystical effect. I am sorry to offer requests, it isnt fair because nobody writes to other bands with requests, however, since you have offered up such a most important prototype development in music where collaboration might help other metal bands develop in the new genre. So, maybe turn down distortion just a very little. The drums and the attitude alone can communicate that it is metal. I want to get questioning myself, "how is this acceptable as light Indian classical", and "how is this acceptable as metal", while being certain at all times that it is not fusion jazz of course.

[@debangakashyapdas2456]

Breakdowns.

[@jamiec5111]

The idea of putting a sitar in metal is awesome, however I wish they were a little more creative with the songwriting. It's basically just someone shredding a sitar over standard "djent" beats. So tired of hearing the chugga chugga chugga chugga shit in metal, am I the only one? Either way props to whoever is playing the Sitar here

[@RahulKumar-qz6kc]

Rishabh Seen spaces after punctuation marks go a long way broski

[@coltonthedrummer]

@Rjsbabh Seen Do you have a commentary album to explain these intricacies in the songs? I would love to get more in depth.

[@Atmost11]

A couple things, #1 they did do it the other way in a lot of the sections. #2, they had a marketing imperative to make sure everyone understands what it is quickly. #3, the memory of that will fade a little after you hear it a few times. #4, we are all very hungry for this kind of thing and the genre is still in the prototype stage.

[@2ndPortal]

why is the sitar drowned by the rhythm guitar? the rhythm guitar should be in the background, ruined the whole song!

[@Capt_shred]

2ndPortal what are you listening on man? Sitar is definitely very present over everything in most systems

[@2ndPortal]

my 200$ producer headphones lol i can hear it but the guitar over powers the more gentle sitar sound

[@2ndPortal]

oh you're the guitarist? no wonder you disagree. melodic instrument always comes first, rhythm is after

[@Capt_shred]

2ndPortal ok bud well, as you can imagine it was quite a challenge to bring an acoustic instrument to the front of a heavy metal mix without making it sound like a disjointed mashup lol I feel I did pretty good at making it all cohesive 👍🏻

[@2ndPortal]

you can make the siter more present by using a compressor and a little bit of drive with some clever eq. i love the album and it sounds massive for sure but i shouldn't be putting any kind of effort to hear the sitar and sitar has soo much depth in it's sound compare to distorted guitar which is dynamically flat

[@tush_k]

But DJ Bobby jyada acha bjata!
