Zygnema, a heavy metal band based in Mumbai, has released the music video for their latest single, “Grind.” The band was formed in 2008 and debuted with their full-length album, “Born of Unity,“ in 2010. Their popularity quickly grew, resulting in multiple awards at the Rolling Stone Metal Awards in 2011, 2014, and 2016. Zygnema has performed at prestigious festivals such as Wacken Open Air and Inferno Metal Fest. They have also headlined and co-headlined major festivals across India, sharing the stage with renowned bands like Megadeth, Tesseract, Fear Factory, Behemoth, In Flames, Opeth, and others.
In 2019, the band successfully curated their own 16-date European tour, which is no small accomplishment for a band based in India. This tour garnered notable write-ups from Red Bull and Rolling Stone India. Their recent five-track EP, “Iconic,“ released in March 2024, follows their second album, “What Makes Us Human Is Obsolete,” which came out in 2016. The EP blends traditional Indian musical elements with modern groove metal, showcasing a unique fusion of konnakols (vocal percussion) and ragas with heavy metal grooves and riffs. Each track on the EP highlights this cultural blend while paying homage to the city of Mumbai, capturing its vibrant spirit and resilience. Lyrically, it explores both personal and social issues we face in modern times. The track “Grind,” taken from the EP, emphasizes the band’s pride in their city and its people.
