So full disclosure… we had never heard of zygnema, before we checked them out today ( boy were we missing out ! These guys freaking rock)

“Grind”, taken from their recent five-track EP ‘Iconic’, blends traditional Indian musical elements with modern groove metal, and centres itself around the band’s pride in their city and in their people. 

You can see and feel the incredible energy that Zygnema brings with their music and it is absolutely breathtaking. We were so taken while watching the video for “Grind”, that the hair on the back of our neck stood up.

Since the band formed in 2008, they’ve released two full length albums, leading them to win multiple awards at 2011, 2014 and 2016’s Rolling Stone Metal Awards, and have played slots at esteemed festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Inferno Metal Fest and they’ve headlined and co-headlined major festivals across India alongside bands such as Megadeath, Tesseract, Fear Factory, Behemoth, In Flames, Opeth and others.

Discussing the lyrical themes behind the track, the band state, “We are proud of the city that we live in. It has made us who we are. The city is what it is because of the people and their hustle and GRIND to live a good life despite the challenges they’re faced with. This is what inspired us to write and dedicate this song to the city and to the amazing people of this city.”

The accompanying music video highlights the day to day grind it takes to live in the hustling, bustling city of Mumbai. Discussing what they hoped to achieve with the video, the band say, “The People of Mumbai are resilient, and are having fun grinding it out in their day to day lives. The grind of Mumbai spares no one. It doesn’t matter what strata or class you belong to; Nobody is complaining. At the end of the day, they have fun and celebrate their achievements. That’s what we want to showcase through our music video.”
