Progressive Metallers MIDHAVEN, based out of Mumbai, India have signed to Universal Music (India) to release their debut full-length album. The release is slated for the end of March 2014.
Commented Midhaven frontman Karan Kaul “We’re honored that a major record label is appreciating the metal scene that has gradually grown over the years in our country. Signing with a label like Universal Music is an amazing feat for us, for a couple of years back, we were just a bunch of college kids with a dream.”
“Midhaven is a brilliant young metal band we are thrilled to represent; their music is a powerful combination of skilful musicianship, mystic & emotive lyrics and unbridled enthusiasm. Their album is an intense start for a band who are committed to produce & perform the best that you can hear in this genre”. said Sridhar TVN the A&R of Universal Music (India).
Midhaven was formed in 2011 and very quickly built a commendable following in the underground scene. In 2013 the band released their debut EP titled ‘Tales From The Tide‘ to much acclaim from fans. The EP though was more rock and the band changed their sound to a much heavier one for the new album.
