I was listening to "King Without A Crown" by recent reggae new-schooler Matisyahu (A Jew doing reggae? THERE IS MUCH AWESOME IN THIS.), when I thought to myself: Okay, so where are the American-born Desis rocking out their semi-devotional inspirational music? It was then that I remembered that there was one such group of Singaporean Tamils that made their foray into the metal scene.

Enter Rudra, probably the first and only vedic-metal band I've ever heard of.

Okay, so after listening to one of their recent songs (right-click to save), they're not really earth-shattering, but they still have an interesting concept. So, with that said, you guys know of any bands like this that aren't as... feh? If not, do you think there should be one?

'Eh.... I like the traditional stuff. Heh... Guess my grandparents' ways are sinking in to me. I don't listen to anything other than what's in their cars, but I know the songs that we sing at Puja's and such.

There's a link to some information on the band and reviews.

EDIT: I LOVE the lyrics to Sad But True.

EDIT 2: The lyrics to the song you posted the link to:

Aham Brahmasmi

That which Yajnavalkya sought away from home
That which Maitreyi wanted to know is
That which by seeking, all is known
Is but the Self within

Aham Brahmasmi (x4)

The world resolves into my senses
The senses resolve in the mind
The mind resolves in the "I"
And the "I" resolves in the Self
What is left to be known?
Once the Self is known
What is left to be seen?
When there is nothing left to see

The Self prevails when you destroy the veils
Of duality caused by the absence of vidya
It is not an effect caused
It is that which is uncaused
Beyond the ken of causality

That which is to be known solely through Atmavichara

Aham Brahmasmi (x8 )

Harvested Sorrow
