Death Metal has really changed from what it was. Until today Death Metal was always something that was meant to be raw and thus had raw production. If you look at the Death Metal of the 80’s and 90’s, you would find this trait in almost every band, be it the really old "Doom" influenced bands like AUTOPSY(who have come up with a new album I believe) and ASPHYX to the faster, more popular bands like CANNIBAL CORPSE and SUFFOCATION. Today however a certain part of Death Metal seems to be going for the really slick, sonically rich production with bands likes THE FACELESS and our very own EXHUMATION, although I do find this a little to adapt to at times as this is something I am not used to, I do enjoy this genre and both THE FACELESS and EXHUMATION are two of my favourite bands, and now so is DISFIGURING THE GODDESS.

IMR: Hello Abbas! Thanks for doing this interview with IndianMusicRevolution. Since this is your first interview with us, could you briefly introduce the band and its members? A short history, so to speak, to get our readers up to speed with SKRYPT!
Abbas Razvi(SKRYPT): Hey. Well SKRYPT was formed when Scenic and Ramya met up with Rajiv and Akhil in December 2006. They started jamming and were looking out for a bassist. I moved to India from New Zealand in May 2007 and by June 2007 Scenic got in touch with me and I was in the band. We played our first gig in July 2007 and things have been getting better since then. After about 3-4 months of being together we won competitions like YOUTHOPIA and CAMPUS ROCK IDOLS(Hyderabad). Been gigging hard since then and have played over 30 gigs now. We have had a couple of lineup changes in the 2nd guitarist department. Our current lineup is – Scenic G: Vocals, Ramya Rao: Guitars, Ravi N: Guitars, Abbas Razvi: Bass, Rajiv Kumar: Drums. Ex-members: Akhil Kodamanchili: Guitars (ALMOST SEPTEMBER) & Joel K: Guitars(WRECKAGE)
