BEVAR SEA, Bengaluru:.

Hailing from Bengaluru, their music is a heady brew of stoner, doom, and sludge metal, a potent concoction that transports listeners to a realm where heaviness reigns supreme. Bevar Sea's sound is a journey through mesmerizing riffs that crawl like molasses and vocals that roar like thunder.

Five years after releasing their sophomore album ‘Invoke the Bizarre', Bangalore’s Bevar Sea used the Covid-imposed lockdown as an opportunity to regroup and work on the third album titled ‘The Timeless Zone.’ With the backdrop of the lyrics portraying a tryst with the consciousness of man, storying into travels and visions within the self, the music over the course of the album pays homage to the glory years of the 70s and 80s hard rock and metal with the typical rifftastic stoner/doom sound the band has embraced on the two albums prior to this. With each track, they weave a spellbinding narrative that explores both the crushing weight of distortion and the euphoria of melodic intricacies. From their arsenal of hits, songs like "The Smiler" and "Abishtu" stand tall as titans of their discography, monuments to their ability to craft anthems that resonate with the soul.
