Assam's first Industrial Music Album is out of the closet

Assam's first Industrial Music Album is out of the closet

Industrial Music in Assam is a concept not so very popular though the genre claims its origin to as late as the mid-70's. The face of music in Assam has gone in for a drastic makeover with bands and genres getting a chance to showcase their bit on large scale. A run down of music based events and competitions in Assam in general and NorthEast India in particular gives a fair idea how frequently music bands appear in the public domain.


Industrial Music is notorious for employing the use of harsh electronics to produce noisier music and the advancement of electronic gadgets is much of a boon. Axl Hazarika - a young energetic youth from Guwahati has for the first time come up with an Industrial Music album called Electrokore 1 comprising both his never released old songs and newer


Axl Hazarika begins Electrokore 1 with a posthumous tribute to Amit Saigal - who was a Rock Musician, promoter and founder-publisher of the reputed Rock Street Journal popular among music aficionados as the RSJ since 1993.


Released on the 26th of January 2012 Electrokore 1 is something experimental music buffs will certainly learn to grow an ear for.
