Keshav Dhar’s Black Metal Project announces second album

24 Jul

Some time last year, we brought to you the exclusive story on Wrath Ov CSharp, Prog metal maestro Keshav Dhar’s Black metal project. Keshav Dhar, or Count Djenethṏr as he liked to be called these days, has revealed that the nocturnal party will be releasing its second album this winter.

 

MWL: Greetings, Count.

Count Djenethṏr: Greetings, vermin. It has been many months. I was hoping that your abcess-ridden body would be rotting by now. But you survive.

MWL: Yeah, we do that. Tell us about your new album. What’s happening with Wrath Ov CSharp

Count Djenethṏr: My fellow perpetrators of the arcane have alas, left me. I was left to fend for myself in this cesspool of commercial faeces.

MWL: Freelance?

Count Djenethṏr: Don’t make me block you, bro.

MWL: Bro?

Count Djenethṏr: I mean, don’t make stitch your lips with pig gut. I till tear your tongue out with rusted pincers and play with it right after I squat upon th-

MWL: Right. What’s the album called? What is it about?

Count Djenethṏr: The album is about a lone battle warrior who mourns the passing of the horse he used to love. He walks the grey lands, his body tranquillised by mead, looking for a greater warrior who will end his life and the curse. There are dragons.

MWL: Hmm. What is the album called?

Count Djenethṏr: See for yourself, gutworm.

Jordan Veigas visits leaning tower of Pisa. Not impressed.

Including Mihir Joshi’s white pants, there are many wonders of the medeival and modern world. Some are marvels of human imagination and engineering, while some are freaks of design, straight out of Frank Pawar’s nightmares. However different they may be from each other, what they have in common is that they draw awe from all those who behold them. Well, almost all.

The celebrate the 10th anniversary of him listening to Nu metal band, Mudvayne, Jordan Veigas gifted himself a five-day trip to Italy. Five days, because those are the number of strings on Veigas’s “custom” bass guitar.

“He was quite excited about this trip.”, says his friend who chose to remain anonymous. “He had been planning to visit Italy for the longest time.”

However, what started off as a prospect journey into the beauty of Italian architecture, turned damp squib. It has been reported that Jordan Veigas’ visit to the Leaning tower of Pisa left him quite nonplussed, and unimpressed.

Here’s what Jordan had to say.
“I don’t know what the fuss is about. It’s like any other building. I don’t know why they call it the LEANING tower of Pisa. I went there, expecting a marvel, but it was just another building. Thoroughly unimpressed. I was telling Shikhar the other day, let’s plan a trip together. But he just kinda walked away when I started talking to him. I even went home and wrote a song about the whole episode. I called it the, ‘Farmer diabetes’. I am pretty proud of the whole song. I write all of my band’s lyrics, and this is by far my best work yet. I have a very systematic manner of writing, and I kind of broke my mould, you know? The song is about this farmer who has been raised in very poor conditions, with his father struggling to feed him. And this one day, his father passes away, and then he finds a clay pot buried in his back ground. I cannot tell you what is in the pot because I am currently in the middle of signing a deal with Sony music for my solo project. And they said that they will not pay me me 5 billion advance if I reveal the details. They’re extremely professional, the guys from Sony. Just like I am. I love paperwork and professionalism, you know? When they approached me, I was skeptical about the whole deal. But then they showed me a document prepared by them which said that I am awesome. That pretty much convinced me. I like attention to detail. I am currently working on starting my line of paintings. Very excited. It’s going to be the rage in this country. You know how you have basic colours like white, black, green, blue, yellow, pink? I am not going to use those colours. I will mix and match those colours and create a masterpiece? Isn’t it amazing? I like to experiment with my art. I only do self portraits too. Very excited.he exterior of the DVD player can be cleaned with simple household items, like rubbing alcohol and seltzer water. Use a cotton, lint free cloth or a cotton swab and apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to it. Gently rub the exterior of the player. While alcohol has the advantage of evaporating quickly, seltzer water has an increased cleansing action due to the carbonation it contains. Use the cloth to clean the player’s vent areas, where dust might have accumulated. Avoid a duster, as it might just end up pushing the dust further inside. Cleaning the vents of the DVD player is of utmost importance, as heat dissipating from the inside of your player might not be allowed to escape, causing it to overheat. You could also clean the vent by using a can of compressed air. It can be softly sprayed into the vent, to clear out the dust build up.With the majority of people opting to watch movies on it, DVD players have increasingly become an indispensable part of our entertainment needs. However, like all electronic appliances, it attracts dust and is prone to scratches and fingerprints. It therefore needs a cleaning regime, to not only make it last for ages, but also enable us to watch movies without the interruption of skipping discs or grainy pictures. DVD players need to be cleaned from inside as well as outside. While cleaning the exterior is fairly simple, it is the interior of the DVD player which is likely to attract even more dirt than the exterior. The good news is that, with a few household products and appropriate maintenance, you can keep your DVD player clean and running smoothly. Movie and home entertainment distributors adopted the DVD format to replace the ubiquitous VHS tape as the primary consumer film distribution format. They embraced DVD because it produces superior moving pictures and sound, provides superior durability, and can be interactive. Interactivity on LaserDiscs had proven desirable to consumers, especially collectors. When LaserDisc prices dropped from approximately $100 per disc to $20 per disc at retail, this luxury feature became available for mass consumption. Simultaneously, the movie studios decided to change their home entertainment release model from a rental model to a for purchase model, and large numbers of DVDs were sold. At the same time, a demand for interactive design talent and services was created. Movies in the past had uniquely designed title sequences. Suddenly every movie being released required information architecture and interactive design components that matched the film’s tone and were at the quality level that Hollywood demanded for its product. DVD as a format had two qualities at the time that were not available in any other interactive medium: enough capacity and speed to provide high quality, full motion video and sound, and low cost delivery mechanism provided by consumer products retailers. Retailers would quickly move to sell their players for under $200, and eventually for under $50 at retail. In addition, the medium itself was small enough and light enough to mail using general first class postage. Almost overnight, this created a new business opportunity and model for business innovators, such as Netflix, to re-invent the home entertainment distribution model. It also gave companies an inexpensive way to provide business and product information on full motion video through direct mail.”

Devoid Wacken exclusive: Ravi Satpute calls Abhishek Kamdar, reminding him to not forget his bass when Devoid travels to Germany. Roydon Bangera has plans.

Bombay-based Death thrash outfit Devoid are set to play at Wacken open air in a couple of weeks. There has been much talk about the band taking the stage at the festival, and the country and Aidan Lewis in specific is quite excited about the same. But no one is more than Ex-Zygnema bass player, Ravi Satpute.

Zygnema played at Wacken Open Air last year, and we brought to you the story where Ravi Satpute forgot to carry his Bass guitar to Germany. It appears that Satpute does not want Kamdar to make the same mistake.

Kamdar says, “He called me, bro! As soon as the results were announced on the internet, I received a call from an unknown number. The voice on the other end said, ‘SUNN PAPLET! DON’T FORGET TO CARRY YOUR BASS GUITAR MACHINE. I AM SAYING THIS TO YOU AS A VERY SEXY FRIEND.’ I was like, who is this, bro? I am colour blind.”

Ravi Satpute quit Zygnema and moved to Germany last year to save travel money incase Zygnema gets more shows in Germany. Satpute has been terrorising people on his Facebook friends list with status updates that are surprisingly punctuated.

Devoid manager Roydon Bangera is currently scouting wedding functions to look for a tent that will accommodate Abhishek Kamdar, and also guitarist Sanju Aguiar’s Tobasco stash.

“It’s a tough job. You know or what, chut?”, says Roydon. “No one gets married this time of the year. This fucking Kamdar. Atleast Frank Pawar was okay with sleeping on the ground in the pouring rain.”
