Cinematic rockers Earthside has issued a Bangla vocal playthrough video of the song ‘Tyranny’ featuring singer Pritam Adhikary.
The band reflected, “Pritam has a charisma about him that is immediately apparent in any of his musical projects or the simple act of communicating with him. Earthside was taken aback by the effortless way the West Bengal native could transition within phrases between overtone heavy sing-screams and impassioned singing. To say Pritam is a heart on his sleeve vocalist or person is an understatement. He pours himself 100 percent into anything he works on and it’s impossible to miss that across the massive arrival moments in ‘Tyranny’. A goal for the band on this album was both to use their platform to share voices they felt needed to be heard while also creating an overarching world stage to the work that would help to tell the global story they sought to convey. Pritam’s fervour to compose his own parts in the pivotal ending movement of the song in his own language gave the track this kind of authentic character on the highest of levels.”
The timing of this release is connected to the festival Durga Puja. Also known as Durgotsava or Shaaradotsava, the annual festival reveres and pays homage to the Hindu goddess Durga, and is also celebrated because of Durga’s victory over Mahishasura. The festival is staged October 9-13.

The band said, “From the beginning, we always wanted to be able to show the force of nature that is Keturah in all of her fiery glory on ‘We Who Lament’, but circumstances at the time of release made it difficult to coordinate including her in a video. With the way the song has taken off for us, and become a staple of our live show, we felt the time was right to make good on this collaboration and finally create a special performance video with Keturah bringing it in full force alongside us. Tom Flynn, who has been a video collaborator with Earthside for a few years now, did an incredible job creating immersive and spellbinding worlds for the video that perfectly suit the
