SYSTEMHOUSE33


(Shane,Pratyush, Samron, Craig)

SYSTEMHOUSE33!!!

SYSTEMHOUSE 33 - one of India's largest upcoming groove metal bands- has been around for almost five years...and the fans just can't seem to get enough of them!!!

Systemhouse33 trys to attain a remarkably different sound that is entirely their own and have been working hard on creating original music in addition to covering bands like Pantera, Machine head, Megadeth, Sepultura, Hatebreed, Deftones, Metallica among others.
Their originals have a full -blown sound that combines these various influences and the result is something that is their own heavy style!!!


Talking about the band...check out sum history and stuff of SH33





SYSTEMHOUSE33 -The band


SH33 was born on 22nd, September 2003 (which also happens to be Samron's birthday) with their first gig at an "All India AIDS Awareness Drive" in Nagpur.
The band became tight as hell kicking it at rock competitions and making fans across India.
It also saw the entry of new members with Craig replacing Cornell as the Bassist; as well as Pratyush's entry into the band (Dany was leaving the country).
Within a short span of time SH33 won the MTV CAMPUS ROCK IDOLS at Indore in 2004, VH1 CAMPUS ROCK IDOLS at Indore in 2005,
METALON at Ramdoebaba Engineering College, TECHNODEON K. I.T.S Engineering College in Ramtek(2004 as well as in 2005!!!) ,
XIMB DECIBALS in 2006, CRESCENDO Tirpude College (Nagpur) and numerous others.


The band also performed at various events across the country, the most memorable being headlining for the "TRIBUTE TO DIMEBAG DARRELL OF PANTERA" at Razz, (Mumbai) - one of the artists who is a really huge inspiration to the band!!!

As far as the music is concerned..its a reflection of alotta beliefs and experiences that the band has gone through...and also has kickass strains of many artists that influenced SH33 like Pantera, Megadeth, Machine Head, Firehouse, Lamb of God, Hatebreed, Mudvayne, Sepultura, Children of Bodom among others.

The band became even tighter than ever with the launch of their EP - Discernment in 2006.
(u gotta check it out..esp their track "One Eyed Monster")


Although SYSTEMHOUSE33 has been underground for quite sometime, they are all set for the upcoming release of their new album "Join the System".
