SALVATION
About the Band
“Salvation’’ is a Progressive Rock/ Metal band from North Kolkata formed in 2005. The band was founded when Arindam Mukherjee responded to a typical search conducted by the drummer Suman and the keyboardist Joy for their respective requirement. Later on the line-up changed and become a five member based Progressive Rock / Metal band called “Salvation United”. The current line-up features long-time lead guitarist Sandip who joined the band in 2006 and another keyboardist Tuhin (member since 2010) alongside Arindam, Suman & Animesh. Influenced by early heavy metal and hard rock bands such as Metallica, Children of Bodom , Course of Nature and Dream Theatre; New Wave of British Heavy Metal bands such as Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. Salvation expanded its compositional technique and range of expression to take on a more aggressive approach in following compositions like Exorcica, Shanti Bikri hoye, Kalo Brishti, Insane Reflections, Dhogsher Srishti etc. Salvation’s lyrics deal with more personal and socially conscious issues including religious illusions and rage, insanity, monsters, and drugs. Impressed by the progressive natured composition ‘Exorcica’, Salvation was awarded the first place to become the only champion at NIFD (National Institute of Fashion Designing) competition held at GD Birla Sabhaghar in March 2008.
