The Project: Trident is a LIVE band based out of Kolkata, West Bengal. The whole concept is the brainchild of independent songwriter/guitar player, Sukhendu Chakraborty.
In 2012 the idea was taking a shape, from where a modern metal sound went perfectly with a progressive ambient and turned in a djent-strumental audio-video project.
This Indie project was one of its kinds. The very first appearance of the band was at JAM’IT 2012, Bangalore along with Vivekananda on bass, and Anup on drums. In 2013, the project was relocated to Kolkata and resumed with Soumyajyoti on bass and Deeptaroop on drums. Thus, the first chapter began and recorded with John Paul (including drum programming and bass).
SRV, Eddie Lang, Jeff Loomis, Tosin Abasi, Andy Mckee, Mark Tremonti, Andy Timmons, Andy James, Misha Mansoor, Tony Macalpine, Tom Morello, Fredrik Thordendal, and Keith Merrow are their primary influences.
