Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of "Hail To The Heroes", the new album from India's Girish And The Chronicles.

From the Sunset Strip to NWOBHM and more. Our audience can expect some great anthems!” And GATC has more than delivered on that promise. "Hail To The Heroes", the band's third album overall, sees the band taking huge leaps forward from their previous album, "Rock The Highway" (2020). The album grabs you from the opening notes of album opener "Primeval Desire" and never lets go, just like their musical heroes classic albums have always done. "Hail To The Heroes" is a sonic journey that you will be thrilled taking over and over again. Girish continues, "We are a hard rock/melodic rock/heavy metal band. We like making the kind of music that we grew up listening to, which revolves around the '80s. However, we do like including a song or two that may have a very different vibe. Could be in the form of a progressive song or maybe a riff that has a bit of "India" in it. All in all, we think of it as a roller coaster ride with the meanest in-your-face songs to beautiful ballads. We feel no matter how dedicated we are to the art, we still should not stop ourselves from exploring more, but without losing the essence of what we truly love.” GATC has released two acclaimed albums, their debut “Back on Earth” (Universal Music India) and the more recent 2020 release, “Rock The Highway” (Lions Pride Music). The debut album, currently unavailable on streaming platforms, will be reissued by Frontiers at a later date. Starting off in the city of Gangtok in Sikkim, India, and now based out of Bengaluru in Karnataka, GATC are known for their soaring, powerful vocals, biting guitars, thunderous bass, and pounding drums, staying true to the authentic ‘80s heavy metal/hard rock sound which they grew up with. Many rock outlets, listed GATC’s "Rock the Highway" on their list of top Top Rock/Metal Albums of 2020 and the group has gained a cult following with '80's and '90s hair metal and hard rock aficionados. GATC is also well known in the Indian rock scene for electrifying live shows and have toured across the nation and beyond. The group has supported bands ranging in variety from American alt rockers Hoobastank to Finnish rockers Poets of the Fall to German thrashers Destruction. Additionally, the band has been part of various leading music festivals in India consistently. They also recently toured with/backed ex-Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler during his performances in India. Vocalist Girish Pradhan is also part of the international metal group, Firstborne, which is led by Chris Adler, James Lomenzo and Hugh B. Myrone. He has also toured the UK, France, Spain, Portugal and other territories with his other side projects in the past. In their 11 year existence, they have been credited by many fans for bringing the classic hard rock culture back in India and are an inspiration to many new and upcoming bands in the scene.

WHAT?!?!?!? REAL production value? Special Effects? True cinematography? A KILLER music video for a KILLER song from a KILLER BAND!!! This is honestly the best video we've seen from this band yet. Their sound is straight hard 80's with a serious modern production edge that just SCREAMS metal! These rockers have recaptured the magic of late 80's early 90's hair metal / power metal in the vein of Skid Row, Motley Crue, Tesla, etc. These men are poised to CRUSH the metal scene for years to come.
Calvin Vice, WHAT???? The video leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion! Lip syncing, looks like to me! Words & VOICE DON'T MATCH UP! Sorry GATC! But I'd be looking for a new person to put MY SHIT TOGETHER! Great video, great song! Love my GATC! WITH LOVE 💘🌹 PEACE OUT 💜🌹🤘🤘
These guys sound is badass. From the Bass bottom to the great drum mix, to the ass kicking guitar sound, and of course the cool vocala.great writing!!! Let's hear more of these guys!!!!
One of the best vocalist north of the Mississippi.lots of power . Could blow the roof of a house. You have a gift. The G man does it again. Wish you the best.
This Group iz Finally getting World Wide Recognition! This New 3rd Drop hits us right in the Rockbowl. Rock n Roll Bars are in for A Real Treat!!! It's stomping Rock!!!
Fact: My favorite band at the moment (and I REALLY love music and like a lot of bands). Best rockin' band on Frontiers atm imho. Don't lose your golden sound boys, this is what true rock n' roll should sound. \m/
I so cannot wait to get my hands on this vinyl! Thanks for making an album with such an amazing authentic mix! Has that production quality of Wingers first couple albums and probably the best sounding hair fueled album since the early 90s! Thanks GATC and Frontiers for making good music a thing again!
this is the 1st time hearing of them and the song, you tube has put a music channel together of music I listen to and add a new band similar to the bands I listen to but a tesla song was on when I left the room and walked in to hear the beginning of this song and thought wtf is this and who is this band and when I read they're from India well I needed a bowl after finding that out lol but I'm going to check the rest out later today for my mountain bike ride along the American River,but when I was reading the comments yours was the same as what I thought so I posted the video on my Facebook page but it had a really cool tone and the song just ROCKS so I'll give it 5 out 6 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸🎸 's have a nice day from California ✌️ and Happy Friday
Climax eargasm. To me GATC sounds closest a lot like the awesome Swedish rock band Treat particularly Treat 1992 and Muscle in Motion 2001 era albums with Mats Leven on vocal. Sounds like more of European rock than the Americans. Catchy, melodic and infectious. Hats off in salute, respect and love. Keep rocking, love from Manipur.
The way there going I don't see why not. There music is absolutely infectious & the music videos are fantastic. Cannot see why this band can't reach the top as they are definitely the real deal.
WOW!!!! I haven't smiled so hard in a long time listening to new music. |Jsut when you think there's nothing new out there along come this. Reminds me of Lynch Mob/Burning Rain/Skin circa 1992 when rock music had reached perfection. I Hope GATC comes to Canada one day.
FRICKIN AWESOME SONG!! AMAZING VIDEO!! GATC is defiantly one of the BEST ROCK/ METAL TALENTS of today!! Can't wait for you to come to the USA! GIRISH AND THE CHRONICLES KICK ASS!!!
A long time back I had asked when will we get to see yogesh shred. Thanks guys for making that happen 😍😍 you guys are absolutely amazing so proud ul are Indian making some classy metal hits. Hail to the Heroes 🤘🤘🤘🤘
