‘Misery’s Lair’ is the prelude to the tragic love story shown in the band’s previous video ‘Broken’, which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g23FvU-LMJ8
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.
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.
