Indian rock band Girish and The Chronicles has released their new single and video “Kaal” through Frontiers Music Srl. This track marks a milestone for the band as it features a chorus sung in Nepalese. The song presents a heavier sound, diverging from the band’s usual style, with the aim of reaching new fans who appreciate Nepali Rock/Metal music. The band is currently on their Re-Ignition Tour 2024, which began on October 25 in Trollhättan, Sweden, and will conclude on November 30 in Troon, UK. They are also scheduled to perform at the Mahindra Independence Rock festival in Mumbai, one of India’s oldest and largest rock festivals.
Girish Pradhan, the band’s frontman, comments on the release of “Kaal,” expressing his surprise at singing in his native language of Nepali. He describes “Kaal” as a powerful musical piece that explores a different sound, both sonically and visually. Despite potential concerns about diverging from their successful style, the band believes in the importance of experimentation and growth. Pradhan emphasizes that Girish and The Chronicles has never been confined to a single sound and has always been more versatile, a fact recognized by their dedicated fans. He extends his gratitude to Frontiers Records for their support in this venture.
The band has been a significant presence in the melodic rock/metal genre in India for over a decade and is gaining international recognition. Girish Pradhan is praised as one of the best rock voices in the scene. The band has achieved legendary status among both longtime and new rock fans in India. Known for their dynamic songwriting and energetic live performances, they have performed alongside notable bands like Guns N’ Roses, Skid Row, Alter Bridge, and others. As the only band from Sikkim to tour extensively both nationally and internationally, Girish and The Chronicles is highly influential in the Indian rock scene and inspires many emerging musicians.
Pradhan’s reputation continues to grow as he recently served as lead singer on the latest album from the hard rock supergroup The End Machine and in the new hard rock project The Nail.
Girish and The Chronicles Re-Ignition Tour 2024 includes stops in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, India, Spain, and the UK, with performances scheduled in various cities.
Band members include Girish Pradhan on vocals and rhythm guitars, Yogesh Pradhan on bass, keyboards, and production, Suraz Sun on lead guitars, and Nagen Nags on drums.
