Since more than ten years now, Mumbai-based SPLIT has been in and out of the scene, mastering the stage at live venues. After seven years, when they released their first E.P, P IS FOR PIG in 2008, which was really a compilation of their best live songs, fans wondered when they would get to hear newer material from the band which gets mentioned whenever someone talks about the top independent acts in the country. Finally, we have a full-length album of theirs, produced by the Kiwi producer Zorran Mendonsa who apart from being a previous band member himself, has also worked with GODDESS GAGGED and THEM CLONES as producer.

Yesterday evening as I was walking down New Friends Colony, I saw that the sign board for The Mezz a pub in that area and a regular venue for Metal gigs was missing ,I asked the waiter who was standing outside Daawat Khaana (the restaurant opposite to the mezz which was in collaboration) what happened, to which he replied that it has closed, I enquired till when, to which he said forever. On this hearing this I was shocked, as now one of the premier joints for metal and the place which had pretty much introduced me to the scene was now over.
