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.

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.
