Medusa,the progressive/industrial band from Mumbai has been creating waves in the Metal circuit since they hit the stage for the first time.

The band,with its unique industrial sound,and outstanding originals,has never left a venue unscathed and has managed to win numerous accolades,in the relatively short 1 year that they have been around.

With original compositions like Crop,Whitesign and Drip,that have made their mark as crowd favorites in their home city of Mumbai,and getting requests for them in cities where the band hasn t played before,is a just example of the sheer talent and musicality that the band holds within it s 5-member ensemble.

With influences ranging from Heavy Metal to Electronica,this is one band that is truly unique.

The band:

Raxit Tiwari :Vocals.

Siddharth Shah:Bass Guitar.

Rahul Nadkarni : Lead/ Rhythm Guitar.

Jay Rowkavi : Drums.

Noel Menezes :Keyboard.

The titles that the band has managed to gather in this short period of time,is a feat that goes unparalleled by any other band of their age.
