  • "With the flair of Motley Crew and the grit of Corey Taylor, there's a Tool or Opeth Vibe running through the music. Grihastha are a band waiting to be discovered by the metal masses and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before that happens. 'Feeling Alive' and 'Exit' (amongst other songs) have already been captivating an audience, so a support role on a Tour with a similar band has to be the next big step."

  • "Grihastha has decided to release the single "Break Away." This track—straddling the line between groove and heavy metal—aims to strike with the force of a hammer against the walls of social conformity."

our story

Formed in during the pandemic of 2020 by Grammy nominated producer Nikhil Suresh - Grihastha is a culmination of Nikhil's musical influence and life experience. Having lived in over 10+ countries and visited quite a few more, the musical influence for this project range from Heavy Metal to Hollywood musicals -- from blues to Bollywood and everything in between. Inspired by the energy and aggression of bands such as Metallica, Linking Park, Machine Head, Slipknot--but also the polished touch of artists such as Ariana Grande, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears -- then the groove of artists such as Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind and Fire, and finally the exoticness or artists such as Lucky Ali, Tarkan, Ligabue and other international artists --Nikhil tries to incorporate something from all these influences into his own music and fuses themes from writers such as Alan Watts, J Krishnamurti, Swami Vivekananda and others into the lyrics of the songs. This unique fusion is what is presented to the listener as "Grihastha."
