Horns Up

#120 | Celebrating "Killers" By Iron Maiden

Animesh and Peter are talking to India’s very own fresh maal - death metal darlings, Dead Exaltation. Darlings because the band released a stellar debut album earlier this month - it's called Despondent - and its something that deserves all the praise, and your attention. There’s plenty to talk about with band members Aditya Oke and Satyajit Gargori - including the tough year the band’s had, with the demise of founding member Mradul Singhal. Rest in power Mradul.Check out Dead Exaltation and Despondent here: https://deadexaltation.bandcamp.comCatch up with Peter and Animesh at www.hornsuppod.comSubscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or add the RSS feed to your preferred podcast player.
