Taking Indian classical and progressive metal music to new heights, Mute the Saint is a live band based out of the capital city of India, New Delhi. The band released their debut album in&nbsp;February 2016.&nbsp;It is the world&#39;s first instrumental band to put forth Indian classical and progressive metal music. The band blends&nbsp;the beauty, depth and soulfulness of the Indian classical music with the aggressive, powerful and uplifting metal music. Mute the Saint was founded by the frontman, Rishabh. Almost after two years of working on little musical ideas but mainly connecting with musicians, he decided to do&nbsp;what became one of the most important steps of his life and brought him closer to his goal.&nbsp;The sitar cover of the song &#39;Animals As Leaders&#39; was&nbsp;well-received globally. A huge appreciation&nbsp;from people across different countries followed with peaking views on the Internet. Rishabh got&nbsp;appreciation&nbsp;by global metal pioneers like&nbsp;Tosin Abasi (from Animals As Leaders), bands like Scale the Summit and&nbsp;Black Crown Initiate, was put forth by CNN IBN 7,&nbsp;and by International metal portals like&nbsp;Metal Injection, The Circle Pit, and MetalSucks.&nbsp;Rishabh started&nbsp;searching&nbsp;for musicians and got in touch with Jared Sandhy,&nbsp;who is one of the foremost progressive metal drummers of India. They both spoke and shared ideas. Seeing Jared&#39;s incredibly-open and encouraging view towards this idea of putting instrumental Indian classical and progressive metal music forth, Rishabh asked Jared to take up&nbsp;the drum duties for the project. After seeing the positivity, music and effort coming from Jared,&nbsp;Rishabh got in touch with&nbsp;his another&nbsp;friend &ndash;&nbsp;Shashwat&nbsp;Kapoor, who is a&nbsp;very talented bassist that has played with a lot of metal bands.&nbsp;Shashwat&nbsp;agreed to join hands with Rishabh. Next, Rishabh&nbsp;found Josh Seguin,&nbsp;who had&nbsp;shared a video online that&nbsp;Rishabh&nbsp;stumbled upon. Completely awestruck by Josh&#39;s command over his instrument and the musical ideas,&nbsp;Rishabh asked Josh to be the&nbsp;guitar player for the band.&nbsp;By the end of August 2015, a&nbsp;few songs&nbsp;started taking shape and the idea of releasing&nbsp;an EP in February 2016 hit Rishabh instantly. The band&#39;s&nbsp;self-titled first album came out&nbsp;in the year 2016, which is&nbsp;historic; not only because it was the first ever attempt to bridge Indian classical and progressive metal music but also because this is something that the band has made totally with the help of internet, which in itself, will be an&nbsp;achievement!
