They have a very good sound. There didn't seem to be anything Indian/Pakistani about the sound other than the lyrics. Sounded like a totally western style to me.

With the normal rock band instruments, yes they have a Western sound, but the main or strong points about Indian / Pakistani bands is their lyrics...

Alas you don't understand the lyrics, otherwise you would have enjoyed the song a lot more since the lyrics form the core in our culture.

Here's another lovely song in hindi

Chand Sifarish

Is there a large metal/rock scene in India?

Not currently, but yes there is definately a storm brewing up in India and Pakistan regarding mixing western instruments along with the Indian / Pakistani vocals.

Its actually a good mix, methinks and such a fusion is proving out to be emerging hybrid culture here.

Not to sound rude, but I don't prefer much of either Hindi or Pakistani music. A few of them are good, but I mainly prefer Rock. Stuff like Def Leppard, Scorpions, Dream Theater, Lifehouse et al....

I've always been interested in 'odd' musical fusions, and the use of tradtional Indian instruments within a metal/rock framework rather appeals.

But then I love Einstruzende Neubauten, so I am certainly strange. Went to a concert of theirs once which used a building that was being demolished as the stage - the instruments included putting a sound probe into a concrete block and then 'playing' it by smashing the block with a sledgehammer for example

Really enjoyed Chand Sifarish music video -- just shows that love songs is an international language of its own Couldn't understand the lyrics but the music was fantastic, loved the mixture of western and eastern harmonies.

Chand Sifarish was in Top Charts. You will listen to such more fantastic hindi songs...just stay tuned.

here's another:
