Pin Drop Violence: A Brutal Combination Of Extreme And Mainstream Metal

 Pin drop violence (or PDV as they were popularly called) is responsible for some of the most intense moshpits the country has ever seen.

They had the power to make fans go absolutely crazy with just the opening guitar riff. While many may cite the reason for them doing so as simply because “they are brutal”, there is actually a method to their madness.

While bands like Joint family, Bhayanak Maut, and Medicis were mainstream, Nu metal/Metalcore and Demonic Resurrection, Acrid Semblance, Narsil, and Third Sovereign were the poster boys of underground extreme metal, Pin Drop Violence embraced both.

The band combined elements of hardcore, thrash, and death metal with some of the hardest Nu-Metal breakdowns that Indian metal had ever hear heard.

One could say they were our very own, home-grown Slipknot. There was nothing really like it at the time. Even bands that blend the styles are much more common today, none can recreate the PDV magic.
