Ashwamedh was formed with the sole aim of redefining the boundaries of Hindi rock and defining an unprecedented sound for the masses. Bringing home a heady mix of funk, Indian classical, hard rock and metal, they choose not to restrict themselves to any particular genre. With groovy yet powerful originals, laden with inspiring lyrics and vocals, crushing riffs, drumming work and monster leads, Ashwamedh has always had the crowd hungry for more in its wake. Shattered pre-defined notions about Hindi rock are a collateral, for which the band takes full responsibility. The name 'Ashwamedh' has been derived from the ancient custom of 'Ashwamedh Yagna', where the sacred horse runs to the limits to determine the boundaries of the king's newly-acquired kingdom. Similarly, with a rapidly-increasing and fiercely-loyal fan-following, they believe their music is the emperor and they will serve by defining newer boundaries for it!
