about

Since 2005, Transcending Obscurity has been trying to promote metal music from around the world, first as a webzine, then as a record label, and now also as a PR company (www.tometal.com). Starting with the first release (now sold out) of the obscure band called THE DEAD from Australia, the label has come far, having over 50 bands under its roster, be it on the main international label or the sub-label and their respective distribution legs. Transcending Obscurity can arguably be called one of the biggest labels for underground music, even though it's based in Mumbai, India - which has only been a massive challenge so far. Against all odds though, the quality of the products, distribution network, and promotional reach have only gotten better and with the support of its loyal fans, can hope to help more and more bands from all over.

Please buy original music and support the store as much as possible! Here's the link - www.tometal.com/store

Rolling Stone India - "“There will be Indian bands and international bands merging on this one compilation,” says Choksi of the sampler, which he will put together as an annual Christmas special."

The Monolith (UK) - "This impressive compilation is the work of Transcending Obscurity, a metal webzine, label and PR company led by editor, label head and artist Kunal Choksi whose valiant efforts to get his local scene globalised has led to this monolithic release. All of this has been made possible, more or less, by him singlehandedly with the vision of “...exposing Indian bands to an international audience and foreign bands to a local audience.“"
