Interview by Kris Peters
Indian heavy outfit Zygnema have spent the past 18 years honing and refining their sounds from their home base of Mumbai, releasing two full length albums, one EP and a handful of singles. The band won the Rolling Stone Metal Awards in 2011, 2014 and 2016 and have performed at Wacken Open Air, Inferno Metal Festival, Osna Metal Fest as well as a few independent shows/tours in Europe.
Zygnema recently unveiled their five track EP Iconic which came with two singles, but the band are hoping the sustained success of their music as well as the positive reception for Iconic will see them crack wider markets including Australia.
HEAVY spoke with guitarist Sidharth Kadadi to find out more.
We discussed the reception to Iconic, found out more about Zygnema and their history, the musical nature of the EP, a more in depth look at each of the five songs, how their music has taken them around the world, winning prestigious awards along the way and more.
