Hey frens,

Kannan & RUDRA have decided to part ways. Kannan will be relocating to Australia and the band wishes him the best of luck in the future and a big thanks for his monumental work in RUDRA. However, the band hopes that his departure is temporary.

The band is presently auditioning guitarists and will announce the replacement real soon.

Shiva, Selvam & Kathir are currently in the studio writing songs for the next two albums to complete the Brahmavidya Trilogy.

Hmm...

Is he the skinny one or the bigger one?

I'm thinking it's the skinny one

 

[J.]

he's probably the one who works in IT

 

[JayKeeley]

Did this Kannan guy contribute to any of the songwriting?

 

[swizzlenuts]

I bet it's the skinny one, because they were talking shit about the skinny one at HCII.

 

[JayKeeley]

those three white lines they all had on their arms were kinda cool

 

[skeptik]

Tiger claw wounds?

 

[JayKeeley]

some tribal thing no doubt

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

I hope its not the "skinny one" because I fuckin love his lead guitar work. I'm fairly certain its the larger one. The only members I know are Kathir (Bass/Vocals) and Shiva (drums)

 

[Reign in Acai]

Ali, this is your chance!

 

[JayKeeley]

the fact that you found three different images is even funnier

5 stars to Nick and rep points if they still existed

[JayKeeley]

Good for them. I got an e-mail from Kathir today telling me about the signing. He's hoping that a label like Code666 might license from Trinity and distribute their wares out west.

The un-mastered tracks from the new version of Kurukshetra are REALLY good by the way. The songs are really brought to life so I can't wait to hear the final product.

 

[EricT]

Surprised that nobody has mentioned their latest yet, granted, it's taken forever for it to spread around the world.

Fucking amazing album.

Apparently this is where you can order it in the US for now.

Beats waiting for a package to come from Hong Kong, Singapore, or Saigon or where ever the fuck.

 

[J.]

CD Baby is awesome. It may be more expensive, but the artists get a bigger share when you buy your CD from them.

 

[EricT]

Don't think I've used it before (maybe I have, who knows)... but since I already have the album (and contracted bird flu from the packaging) I'll have to wait till the next album I want I notice on there.
