Cool Indian Alternative Rock!! Khaamosh (Silent)

[titojohn58]

To me, you sound like a cross between Alice In Chains and a little-known band called Rock 'n Hide (though I am not in any way trying to say you are imitating them). I wish I could understand your lyrics, but I too think it is better for your lyrics to be in Hindi/Urdu anyway. The harmonizing you include is really superb IMHO. Vikram = great stuff ! Count me in as a fan...!

[izndr]

sounds interesting

[grainyday]

great riffs !! keep it cold , greets from Poland !!

[hussain935]

Even the video is awesome.!!!!!!!!!

[rahulcooldude101]

good work with the lyrics....the best part ws dat this dint sound lik mettalica even though it ws heavy.... kick ass guys :)

[Shahrukhkazmi12]

Try Coming to Pakistan for one week or two you will surely be approached by a Channel or a record company but i am really sorry my friend there is no future of rock or metal in India i have never said that there bands are not talented and they don't have Metal scene but you will get respect for sure when you will come to Pakistan.

I have been following the Metal/Rock Scene of Pakistan since 10 years we do have immense talent here and you guys are talented. - Shahrukh Kazmi, Karachi, Pakistan

[rokkermusic]

@Shahrukhkazmi12

Thank you , my friend!

I would love to come over to Pakistan but have no idea about the right way of going about it and the right people to meet. Any suggestions? Also, I totally agree with your take on the Indian rock music scene. The big labels and movie studios are in control and won't touch anything different and with non-filmy potential. Too bad for the public that the industry stifles accomplished artists with their cookie-cutter preferences and forces them to sellout. 

[Shahrukhkazmi12]

@rokkermusic Stick to your roots this is the only advice i can give you my friend you know why i liked your song because it was in Hindi/Urdu promote your language most of the Indian Rock/metal Bands don't do that, that is why there industry is fail you cannot compete with west in there own language but yes you can surely beat them by creating songs in your lanuguage. Here in Pakistan its more famous because to tell you the truth mass market

[Shahrukhkazmi12]

@rokkermusic -continue- here understand Urdu and of course i love a metal song in urdu rather than listning in English though my Inspiration is Dream theater but still tell me if a James hetfeild of Metallica started singing one day in Hindi how would it sound to you.

[Shahrukhkazmi12]

@rokkermusic I hope it'll help you guys out

[sahastradhara]

Bhai kabhi khamosh na rehna kuch na kuch sunate raho

[rokkermusic]

@sahastradhara

Thanks! New material coming up on YouTube soon.

[jeanpaulfelix]

Pakistani friend checking in.....Amazing amazing work Vikram.....Dying to hear more from you

[rokkermusic]

@jeanpaulfelix Thanks, man. I have huge respect for Pak rocks band too! The rock scene there is so much more evolved than India, where it seems to be shackled by the whims, needs, and fancies of a film industry that wants everything to be a safe, and sanitized bet. And therefore, control what the public has access to. Anyways, I'm going to be posting new music soon, even if it's just music and not video. Until then, keep rockin' and thanks again.

[coronation76]

@jeanpaulfelix He would be a massive hit in Pakistan :) Love your music vikram !

[devilzevents]

[rokkermusic]

@devilzevents Solo artist Vikram, based out of Washington, DC - did all vocals, guitars, bass, and synth on album himself. He now has a band for playing his material live.

[nuimagestudios]

[liquidgateband]

[abr005]

this is kick ass

[rhomu]

this track is alright. check out: /watch?v=gL0oJ8w6Ss0

Black is the alternative god of indian subC.

[coronation76]

Nice rhythm. Good head banging stuff. A few suggestions if you don't mind. It gets a little lame in the middle and sounded a bit too long. Guitar solo could have been better. Vocals are good but add a little energy into it-and viola you will have a winner. Keep up the good work.

[timetravel42]

i love this song... indian and rock totally sounds gooooood

keep it up folks

[djnaveenbhai]

[rohancshekhar]

vikram..dude... i love it!! keep up the good work bro. i had a look around your webpage, impressive! but i must say you need to take out songs like this one over here.. gives my mood a good high, i swear!

[rokkermusic]

Thanks so much, my friend! What did you mean by "take out songs like this one over here"? Release it in India? As far as I know, it should be available through iTunes. Let me know if you can buy it there and in rupees.

Other than that, maybe you should start a signature campaign for Sony BMG or others to sign me to the labels! ;-)

Thanks again,

Vik

PS - BTW, I'd love to play in India if my someone offers a good deal, so keep an eye out for that. Cheers.

[carmenpsychopathic2]

i like vocal and the bass but the part with the guy behind the fire could have been done better. keep trying. other then that i like even if i didnt understand it

[jeofreypereira]

[rokkermusic]

Ha ha - I see what you mean....but no, I'm not trying to mimic Kurt Cobain. Although I wouldn'lt mind a similar income stream :-)

Cheers.

[bibhav]

hey y is the vocalist mimicing kurt cobain... lookswise

[Dhwani25]

awesome..! loy of treble on the vocals though...love the base n drums..!!!

[rokkermusic]

Thank you all so much!

Yes, it's about time someone tried to shake the foundation of Indian music and bring forth the music that people might want to listen to, instead of what the record labels want to push down their throats. I'm fortunate for your support.

Keep on rocking!

Vikram

[sarangpuri]

hey vikram dude i loved this a lot, now can u tell me where can i but this cd,and in indian rupees

[rokkermusic]

shows only four stars on mine - and with just 6 ratings in total. This is quite bizarre. But thanks anyways. Keep rockin'.

[rokkermusic]

Hmmm...maybe it's a bug? Or it could be that a user can only rate it once. Let me see if I can check with the YouTube tech staff. Thanks anyways.

[randompony]

it says 5 ratings on mine (i just rated it) so if it says the same on yours then it should be working now. strange :S

[randompony]

is it me or do the ratings on this video never go past 4? i rate it every time i watch it but its always on only 4 ratings :S

[nirmalkunal]
