SHEP // DBF [SPLIT] by SHEPHERD / DEATH BY FUNGI

About Shepherd:

Shepherd is a Bangalore-based sludge/heavy rock band that’s been making waves in the underground since its coming together in early 2011. Drawing influence from the guitar driven sounds of early 90s hard rock (Soundgarden, The Melvins, Eyehategod) and 80s hardcore punk (Black Flag, Discharge), the band has built a reputation for itself as an ever-evolving and unpredictable heavy rock entity, churning out a series of releases over the years including demos & live recordings.

About Death By Fungi:

Death By Fungi was formed in 2013 by Vrishank Menon and Kamran Raza, quickly releasing their first demo later that year. The addition of Aryaman Chatterjee to the line-up, saw the band shift towards a more aggressive and abrasive hardcore sound, as documented in their self-titled EP in 2015. A string of live shows followed which allowed the band to develop a local audience as well as further build upon their sound with more impressive musicianship, the result of which was heard on their 2016 EP In Dearth Of. Taking inspiration from a wide spectrum of sonic sources, ranging from the likes of Converge and Shai Hulud to Propagandhi and Deftones, DBF forge a contemporary hardcore/punk sound with intelligent songwriting and infectious guitar-work.
