Primitiv was conceived when Riju Dasgupta and Rajarshi Bhattacharyya (former band members of Albatross and Workshop) wanted to start a new project together. What started out as a joke has today become an explosive LIVE act, that has gigged across India and has garnered a loyal 'fan base' in a small amount of time. The current lineup includes Nitin Rajan (Sledge, Morticide), Kiron Kumar (Hellwind, Colossus) and Pushkar Joshi (Blood Meridian), in addition to Dasgupta and Bhattacharyya. The sound of the band is a vile blend of heavy, doom and death metal. A blend the band likes to call – 'Stone Age Metal'. It is an amalgamation of the varied collective influences of all the members.
