The single was mixed and mastered at LUCID RECESS STUDIO(Guwahati, Assam). ARIHANT delivers a labyrinthine, crushing and eximious sound from start to finish. Baroque techniques of drums and guitars in their latest single SELF-HATRED stylistically analogues with the raw and corpulent vocals of Rituraj. Dynamic tempo change, relentless drum-kicks along with the screamed vocals adds to the charisma of this Indian Death Metal act. The eccentric song-writing skills and overall riff work in SELF-HATRED is praiseworthy. Lyrically the song deals with the dark influences of drug and its use in the modern society. ARIHANT has definitely copious light in their passage!

Guwahati, Assam based three piece Experimental Death Metal outfit, ARIHANT represents ‘Destroyer of enemies as a sign of brutality’. A blend of Technical Death Metal garnished with Modern Death Metal, ARIHANT is a complete sheaf of the Brutal/Death Metal act! Started by Angshuman Hazarika(Drummer) and Pikashu(former Guitarist), the band started playing brutal stuffs and went on exploring Extreme Metal. With a new line-up on May 2011, they released their first single SELF-HATRED on June 2011. The present line-up’s are: Rituraj (Vocals/Bass), Bhaskar (Guitars) and Angshuman(Drums).
