Dafan

by Aarlon

prithvisingh18 Never could I imagine how would any band would go about creating metal in Hindi. Many bands have tried, however listening to them, I always felt somthing was missing. When I found Aarlon it was like every piece fitted, every riff and lyric was an eargasm. I felt they would be big. I just wished they would keep on creating music.This album is my hope coming true and going beyond all expectations I had, I see musical maturity, which is rare.

Junoon utha hai uthke chala hai Beparwah hoke taqdeer badalne Kya dekhta hai tu kya sochta hai Nadaan hai tu tasveer samajhne ko Aadatein teri hasratein teri nafratein nahi chahiye Jo tu thopta hai mujhe nochta hai Pal pal me mera vajood badalne ko Aazadiyon pe lipti hain bediyaan Deewaron me Goongi thi ab tak jo goonjengi khaamoshiyaan Saali fitrat badalne lagi Zindagi ki raahein Aarzoo kheech ke laayi hai Kis dal dal me jeene ko Armaano me kahin Ghut gayi meri chaahatein Sach kureid apna Har kal ke har chhal ka Kaayar kya khudko hi Mujhmein tu khojta hai Rakh guroor apna Meri hatheli pe Tujhko dikhaadoon teri aukaat bhi kya hai Waqt badalta hai Aur waqt hi likhta hai Kisse kahaani kiske hisse kya milta hai Shaql pe hasta hai Har haq kuchal kar Mukhautaa hata kar dikha tu kaisa dikhta hai Saali fitrat badalne lagi Zindagi ki raahein Aarzoo kheech ke laayi hai Kis dal dal me jeene ko Armaano me kahin Ghut gayi meri chaahatein Honge bayaan ab iraade Dastoor kya hai Jhuk jayegi manzil yahaan Vidroh ke dhaagon se Khwaaish bunengi

about

Dafan is an eight-track-long album. A tasteful blend of melancholy and rage. It successfully features elements of hard-rock, metalcore, indie, and alternative, amongst other variations. It is a 35 minute journey through the gamut of emotions a human being can experience in his lifetime shackled in the cages of a capitalist society. Though there is not one central theme, the dark realities of a human soul have been laid down bare.

The album represents a confession or (at times) a suicide note stripped from any censorship or restraint. It creates a soundtrack to the explorations of the human condition and its dark psyche. Melancholia and an unexplainable nostalgia strongly persist and become the vibe of the record. It's got a beautifully assembled, reliably high-caliber songwriting which sheds light on angst and melancholy.

Steady experimentation, refinement, and overcoming challenges over the past six years fuels the creative power Aarlon demonstrates today. Their compositions transform complex musical compositions into easily digestible sound pleasant for both the trained, well-versed ear adoring complicated arrangements and “clueless” fans who see it as “simply” great music. “The topics are more or less the projection of what we face in our own lives”.

“Dafan”(2022) was covered in the MetalHammer Magazine. “Aarlon brings an absurd amount of range and talent on this album, boasting brilliant ballads, ferocious drops, and a vocal command that leaves me in awe. Their drive to bring an understanding to Metal and Alt Rock in more than a sense of noise to their own community is not only expressed in their music but, in their willingness to push forward and perform a brilliant array of skill, talent, and creativity that’s astonishing to be a part of” ~ Noob Heavy.

“Aarlon is without a doubt the best metalcore band I have heard in years” ~ Rob Chapman

Aarlon is an Indian alternative rock/metalcore band formed in 2017. The band writes in Hindi and their soundscape is characterized by a melancholic blast of metalcore with post-rock touches. They utilize soaring clean vocals and wrathful screams together which lay on a vast bed of power chords and reverb-soaked hooks.
