MUMBAI: Get ready to experience a face-melting, earth-shattering, and soul-awakening musical epic! Bodhi and the Omega Force is here to set the stage ablaze with their debut instrumental track, "Destroyer", is out now. And if you thought that was all, buckle up, because the official music video is set to electrify screens on November 7!
But what makes this track more than just another headbanging anthem? Well, it’s a grand, instrumental tribute to none other than Lord Shiva, the original cosmic rockstar. Yes, you read that right—this track channels the sheer power of Mahadev, the Destroyer of Worlds, blending the divine drama of Indian mythology with the searing, spine-tingling glory of Progressive Rock and Metal. Think Steve Vai meets the Himalayas, and you’re in for a mind-bending ride.
Composed by the genre-bending guitar wizard Bodhisattwa Ghosh, "Destroyer" isn’t your average jam session. It’s a high-octane prayer wrapped in rock riffs, fueled by the rich and resonant tones of Raga Bhairav and Raga Bhairavi. This song is what happens when a headbanging guitarist meditates under a sacred banyan tree and decides to shred away the evil of the world. Literally.
Ghosh describes the creative process as a labor of love, a jam-packed journey with his bandmates: Mainak "Bumpy" Nag Chowdhury (bass), Gaurab "Gaboo" Chatterjee (drums), and Subhagata Singha (guitar and keyboards). They spent hours hammering out the perfect blend of heavy, soul-stirring melodies. Everyone pitched in ideas, making it a true collaborative symphony of sonic power.
Visuals That Slay (Evil)
The music video for "Destroyer" is an epic tale brought to life by Shan Bhattacharya, who worked his cinematic magic to highlight the themes of rebirth, destruction, and cleansing. Picture the band performing against a backdrop of apocalyptic landscapes and cosmic visuals—just a casual day at the office for this rock force.
What's Next?
Bodhi and the Omega Force aren't stopping anytime soon. They’ve got another thunderous track, "Vortex," scheduled for February 2025. Plus, there are plans to unleash a new single every two months and rock live stages all over India. Expect nothing less than a musical revolution!
