When music met physics

They claim to be interested in quantum physics but are one of the upcoming metal bands in the city. Intrigued? We are too. Here’s talking to Heisenberg on what makes them tick, physics or music, or both.
Where does the name of your band come from?
Heisenberg was a renowned physicist. The members of our band have been fascinated with quantum physics and the name goes off pretty well when you are writing songs which deal with waves, consciousness and uncertainty in life.
How did you start off?
We were playing for various bands, sessioning for some, sharing our members and generally doing covers at college fests. Soon we realised the limitations of being another cover band. So we hit the studio in 2010 to record our first song, Thickskinned, which was a very rough recording with midi bass track and very weird programmed drums — but it helped us strengthen our profile and allowed us to participate in a lot of great college fests.
What is your original brand of music? Do you guys have a signature sound?
We haven’t found our signature sound yet but we are a heavy metal band with a lot of influences from jazz, Indian classical as well as groove metal groups.
How has it been thus far?
We have been around for two years now. Though there were no issues about the line-up initially and we were still learning the tricks and ways a band gradually learns from experience- dealing with our tones, gear, trying to balance college life with this and later, trying out a lot of people (which was a frustrating time for us). Now we have the right people to deliver the right sound and take this journey in the right direction.
How did it feel to perform with three other bands at Metal Battle I?
These are one of the finest upcoming bands in the scene. We had heard a lot about Winter Gate. Silent Existence and Jehovah are killer too.
What plans for 2013?
We hope to play more gigs, travel to new places and let people know about what we do. Also, expect an independent album release.
