Pronouncing its name is like letting out a breath… ABINAYA means “passing on” in Sanskrit. This is the very essence of a band with hybrid influences (Metal with leaden riffs akin to Zakk Wylde or Down’s, Indie Rock torn by poetic lyrics, tribal explorations similar to Soufly’s). With an original rhythmical base (drums and percussions) its rock bounces onto the public and transcends it in a clash of sharp riffs and tribal vibrations.
Having performed in over a hundred gigs (Scène Bastille - Paris, Tauriac’ Oustik Festival, Transhumances Festival - Gironde, 24hours for Tibet - Savoie, Harleys gatherings all over France) the four members of the band radiate a unique kind of energy.
ABINAYA could be the name of a tribe, but first of all it’s a breath on glowing embers, the humility of a call to freedom, a musical and poetic revolution...
Shortly after touring all over France, Belgium and Germany to Extreme Festivals (Chaulnesmetal fest, Mad House Fest, Mehnir Chevelu) or HeavyRock festivals (Freeweels Bike Show, Foud’Rock, Metalloween Fest, Raimesfest, Mazeroll’n Rock) and 4 years after the release of ‘‘Corps’’, ABINAYA is back to work in Kevin Pandele’s Damage Room Studio in the summer of 2013 for the recording of their new album ‘‘Beauté Païenne’’.
The compositions and sound have been transformed through these experiences: with more assertive and powerful vocals, percussion serve as the narrative spine of the tracks, and riffs, supported by uncompromising drums, are massive. And yet ABINAYA hasn’t turned away from research and experiment on these 8 tracks, some of which exceed 7 minutes in their extended version.
Foreign and French press supports the release of their new album by giving a great deal of coverage to the group and opening their cd samplers: ROCK HARD Italy, ROCK HARD Greece, FIREWOKS Magazine (UK), MASS MOVEMENT Magazine (UK), TERRORIZER Magazine (UK), ZERO TOLERANCE Magazine (UK) METALLIAN (France)…
Your turn to explore this blend, unique in the French Metal world, made of tribal rhythmic, social issues and mystical experiment.
