Horjwlai was formed in 2007 with Ronald (guitar), Chiranjib (bass) and Dbakar (drums) with metal music as our forte. Being young we were full of energy and ready to release the potential within us… this came to pass when Tomson (vocals) and Pitra (guitar) joined the band.Early on, we experimented with a variety of genres trying to figure out what sound would best translate what we felt inside and in 2008 we came to realise that metal and its sub genres were what we related to most. Coming from Tripura, a place where there's no western music culture, has been very challenging though now things are beginning to change as we move towards some sort of basic development. Though a simple thing like organizing a western music concert here is still very hard to do given the state of affairs, we are determined to make a change and are doing so by creating music that incorporates the heavy sounds of metal and our own tribal tunes and melodies. Whether we get to play this music in our hometown is to be seen but that is not something holding us back.
