AROGYA have announced their signing to Out Of Line Music and are set to release their forthcoming album Genesis on 23rd April 2021. The quintet are the first ever synth-rock band to emerge from India and the first band from Northeast India to sign with an international record label.
To celebrate, AROGYA have released a video for their new single ‘Broken’, depicting the story of a man who lost his lover and has given up all hope. A miracle then happens, leading him back to the spirit and arms of his love again. The story is to be continued in the music video for ‘Misery’s Lair’.

The band explains:
“The concept of the video and screenplay was the brainchild of AROGYA, by Rain & Janice. The whole video was edited, and special effects were created by none other than our multi-talented drummer Rui. We believe in making and presenting our own unique image/brand with a strong thematic storyline and be fully involved, from the creation of the song to the music video.”

AROGYA worked with producer Chris Harms (Lord of the Lost) on their new album Genesis, which deals with the story of creation both musically and thematically: the past manifests itself in their propulsive synth-rock which highlights 80s nostalgia, while washed-out metal dominates the present and a fine pinch of dark-pop stands for the future.
Visual Kei elements bring even more playful light to the colourful potpourri of AROGYA‘s sound. The profound lyrics, sometimes shouted in a soulful clear voice, sometimes in a heavy metal style with evil growls, deal with love, pain, transience, hope and the effort to escape the inner darkness. Genesis offers a possibility of catharsis, lyrically for the mind and sonically for the body, which also draws to the band’s name AROGYA, meaning “healer” in Sanskrit.
