KNOW delivers a unique, crushing blend of Thrash Metal with heavy influences from Groove Metal and Progressive Metal.


VAULTLORD: New single is out nowThis explores life of a brutal, self-centred man, living as the last survivor in a post-apocalyptic world. His situation is self-inflicted, deathless, and inescapable, pity comes close. He hopes to have a world back, yet he doesn't realise he is still desiring power, not freedom. Unleashing the future of the filthy, insensible oligarch.The Production Team:Guitars/Bass/Vocals/Lyrics: Santosh Nanduri
Drums: Hugo Ribeiro (Drummer for Moonspell, Portugal)
Mixed & Mastered: Everland Studios (Sydney, Australia)
Artwork: Amir Hossein Fattahi (Iran)
