Indian rockers Girish And The Chronicles are thrilled to unveil their new video “Kaal”, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
The track represents a first for the band, featuring a chorus sung in Nepalese. It is a heavy song, a little different from the band’s usual sound, aiming to tap into a new audience that listens to Nepali Rock/Metal music.

The band is also currently on their “Re-Ignition Tour 2024”, that started in Trollhättan, Sweden, on October 25th and will end in Troon, UK, on November 30th. They are also set to perform at the oldest and one of the biggest Rock fests in India, Mahindra Independence Rock, to be held in the city of Mumbai.

Girish Pradhan comments on the new single, by saying: “I know I would eventually sing in my Native language of Nepali, some day, but I had no clue it would come about this way. “Kaal”, which also translates to “The End/Doom” etc, is a musical force. We wanted to try out a different sound for a change. We wanted it to be raw, both sonically and visually. While we know there maybe some folks out there, for whom it’s not a wise idea to divert away from a style that has been working fairly well for us, we also feel it is extremely important to keep experimenting, and exploring.”

“GATC has never been about a particular sound. We have always been so much more than that, and our true fans over the years have always known that. Either way, it’s a banger and there’s no way one can escape the sonic punch they’re about to receive. A big thanks to our label Frontiers Records for being understanding and supporting us on this venture!”, he adds.

Arguably one of the most prominent and influential bands in the melodic rock/metal genre for the past 10+ years in India, Girish And The Chronicles have been steadily gaining popularity and prominence globally as well. Critics and fans alike have labelled frontman Girish Pradhan as one of the best rock voices in the scene. The band have already gained a legendary status amongst rock enthusiasts, both old and new, within India.

Known for their dynamic songwriting style and energy packed live performances, GATC have toured with, supported, featured as special guests, shared festivals with the likes of Guns ‘N’ Roses, Skid Row, Alter Bridge, Nazareth, Kamelot, Bullet For My Valentine, Poets Of The Fall, TesseracT, Hoobastank and more.

Being the only band from their home state of Sikkim to have ever toured consistently, nationally and internationally, GATC are considered as one of the most influential bands in the Indian rock scene of the last decade and are looked up to by a lot of up and coming musicians.

Girish Pradhan’s reputation has been growing recently as one of the hottest new rock singers on the scene. He has appeared as lead singer on the last album from the Hard Rock supergroup The End Machine featuring George Lynch and Jeff Pilson, both ex-Dokken, and more recently as lead singer in the new hard rock project The Nail.
