Bhayanak Maut is an Indian metal band from Mumbai. The band's name was inspired by a Ramsay Brothers Hindi horror movie of the same name, which it translates to "Horrific Death". Although the band claims their name is inspired from a Ramsay brothers movie, there is no such movie that goes by the name of Bhayanak Maut. Their music is an eclectic mix of groove metal, hardcore and death metal.
Bhayanak Maut formed in November 2003. The band originally started out as a parody outfit until they reached the finals at a competition in Chennai. The band was formed and named by Jaison and Sriram who recruited several members including Sera Kattoua Aman, Ravi Balakrishnan, Baba and Rahul to join the band. Baba is the only remaining member of the original lineup
