Bhayanak Maut is an Indian metal band formed in Mumbai in 2003. The name, translated from Hindi, means "Terrible Death," a moniker that reflects the band's intense and uncompromising sound. Known for their blistering live performances and a unique blend of metal genres, Bhayanak Maut has become a mainstay in the Indian underground music scene. They've cultivated a loyal following with their brutal, yet intricate, compositions that often touch on themes of existential dread, personal struggle, and social criticism.

The band's discography showcases their evolution from raw, visceral beginnings to a more refined and technically proficient ensemble. Their eponymous album, "Bhayanak Maut," released in 2014, along with "Man" in 2014, cemented their place as one of the leading metal acts in the country. Following this, the band has released a string of singles that demonstrate their continued growth and willingness to experiment. Tracks like "Just a Metal Kid" and "MLMSML" play on metal tropes and acronyms with an irreverent edge, while "Shoreline" and "Attack of the Roachsmokers" maintain the aggressive riff-centered core that fans have come to expect. With "Pindakaas," the band continues to hint at new sonic directions, keeping the excitement alive for what Bhayanak Maut will release next.
