about
Sunshine Dust, the band’s nearly four years in the making third full length album, delivers on the atmospheric and emotional promise of their earlier material, with breathtaking tectonic shifts between wall of sound ambiance and groove.

Somewhere between the larger than life anthemic heft of Linkin Park, the esoteric experimentation and brutal fury of the Deftones, the drenched sonic tapestries of Devin Townsend, the uplifting soulful urgency of Incubus, and the nü-metal/prog evolution of Karnivool exists the ethereal plane occupied by SKYHARBOR. It’s a dimension defined by the complex and the sublime, the simple and the severe.

Often within the space of a few notes, SKYHARBOR evokes the essence of the struggle for harmony in all things.The accolades have been swift and decisive, from fans and press alike, including multiple awards from the Indian edition of Rolling Stone (Best Band,
Best Album, Best Song, Best Guitarist, Best Bassist), the Jack Daniels
Awards (Best Metal Band, Best Producer for Dhar), and the Metal Hammer Golden Gods, where they were nominated for Best Global Metal Band.

Keshav Dhar, Devesh Dayal: Skyharbor - Out of Time from India featuring with Towering vocals of Eric Emery

Out of Time https://skyharbor.bandcamp.com/track/out-of-time
by Skyharbor

Out of Time' marks the start of a very exciting and challenging phase for us as a band. As we have done from the beginning, with each release we love to explore a different facet of our music, and add that to the core musical values that define us - emotion, intensity and groove. Aditya and Eric have brought a whole new perspective to our songwriting, and we're so excited to move into the future and create something special with this next album. We are exploring some unfamiliar yet exciting sounds, but staying 100% true to what makes Skyharbor what it is.
lyrics
Lyrics:

I'm on a mission that's never ending
Unwavering state of mind
Chemical thoughts wont stop the bleeding
We're led by the blind

Can't stand to fall in line as you lay your finger on the trigger
Echo the paradox of your empty lies into the ether
Circle like moths to a flame
Now it's time for a change with the fault lines shifting
You are the solace I found inside

All out of time, but we wont be left behind
Run and hide again
Tear it down instead
Till theres nothing left inside

Echoing chaos if ever pressing
Threading needles through the lies
With so much loss and second guessing
What a shame we closed our eyes

I'm done waiting for you
With so much to lose
Confiscating the truth
Embers burning through
With our fates aligned
Can't be left behind

The silence will break us all
And steal away our light
Each hour the end is calling
Together we survive

Now your time's up

Keshav Dhar,Devesh Dayal: Skyharbor - crowdfunding for second album

Second Album Help us fund our new album with pre-orders, exclusive items, one-off experiences and behind-the-scenes access!

Dear fans, followers, well wishers and loved ones – as those of you familiar with us already know, we are Skyharbor, a motley bunch of musicians from across three different continents who make big expansive progressive sounds.

It’s been a crazy ride over the last four years. From being nothing more than a few messy Cubase files we had somehow formed a real band over the internet, been invited to be main support to Lamb of God, recorded and released our debut album worldwide, headlined a tour in the UK where we sold out London, and we’re playing Download Festival in June 2014 as our 14th ever show (yup…. crazy). And now, we’re in the process of recording a new album which we’re incredibly proud of and want to make the best possible product we can put out. This includes the production, presentation, packaging, videos, artwork, and all of the things which greatly depend not on our own creative prowess but unfortunately on that troublesome thing called money.

Our goals are very simple. We want the album to sound as good as it can possibly be, and we will be working with the legendary Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus, The Butterfly Effect) who will be mixing the album. We also hope to create a beautiful, epic animated music video for the album, for which we have approached the brilliant animator Jess Cope (Steven Wilson, Devin Townsend, Storm Corrosion) to do a very special video with a beautiful story for us. Just imagining the final products with the touches of genius from these people on it makes us incredibly excited, and we know and sincerely believe that our fans will receive something to be cherished fondly for a long time.

Five months ago, we posted out from our Facebook page that we were very hesitant to approach the idea of a Pledge campaign, as we felt it was something like asking for handouts. We obviously hadn't been paying much attention, because we received an overwhelmingly positive response towards crowd funding the album, and most of you strongly encouraged us to do it. Which got us thinking again – maybe all our visions for the album don’t have to be a pipe dream – because if you guys are willing to be a part of the creation, then there’s literally nothing to stop us!

Marty Friedman, Keshav Dhar: Skyharbor

Starting out as a simple bedroom studio project by Keshav Dhar, Skyharbor has evolved into one of India’s hottest metal projects, with big props coming in from some of the biggest names in metal worldwide, and an astonishing amount of buzz created without even having a touring lineup. A long awaited debut album has been finally announced for a 2011 launch, and promises to be a landmark release for the Indian independent music scene, in no small part thanks to the unprecedented number of international and local guest appearances it will see, including the likes of Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth), Daniel Tompkins (TesseracT, First Signs of Frost, Haji's Kitchen), Vishal J. Singh (Amogh Symphony), Sunneith Revankar (Bhayanak Maut, Amidst The Chaos), Nikhil Rufus Raj (Indigo Children) and many more to be announced soon.

QUOTES:

“I think you do some amazing work. Would love to hear more – it’s awesome.” – Marty Friedman (Megadeth, Cacophony)

“The stuff Keshav plays will blow your mind; not merely because it’s super complex in the patented “djent” stylee, but because of the number of ideas he inserts into the music. The fact that Keshav manages to record – and perform – the music as a solo artist is mindblowing. He must have four hands and three brains, and the thought of him joining a band of likeminded musicians is rather frightening. Remember Hammer’s recent trip to India to check out the local metal scene? Well, with artists like this, it won’t stay local for long.” – Joel McIver

“With its fast-growing metal scene, is it any wonder that India has its foot in the door with this nascent scene? Skyharbor is, incredibly, just one guy.” – Metal Hammer (UK) Magazine (www.metalhammer.co.uk)

“If you’re looking to get into your first Indian band, I’d recommend (Keshav’s) stuff, Skyharbor!” – Jamie Postones (TesseracT, Heights)

“Our friend Keshav Dhar from India is doing some cool stuff with his band Skyharbor” – Bart Hennephof (Textures)

"Skyharbor should destroy all preconceived notions about the Indian scene. The music is just that damn good." - Andrew Lu, Rock Street Journal Magazine

“Keshav’s riffs scare the crap out of me” – Vishal J. Singh (Amogh Symphony)

“Brainchild of Indian guitar ace Keshav Dhar, this musical powerhouse is a heart pounding contribution to the poly-rhythmic low-end sub-genre of metal (known by name as ‘Djent’) rising in popularity over recent years. […] With a CD release set for this coming June, 2011 may hopefully be the year that this musically stunning brand name finally takes form.” – Ashley Jacob, Suite 101 (www.suite101.com)

“Underground act from India! Can't tell you much but they do an awesome job!” – Chronix Radio (www.chronixradio.com)

"Skyharbor’s second single “Catharsis” was released and features Tesseract‘s Daniel Tompkins on vocals and Ex-Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman playing a killer solo. This isn’t your standard djent affair either, despite the old project name; while some of the elements are there, there’s so much more going on. Everything about this song is astounding, and with guests like these on the track, you know for damn sure it’s worth your time. Skyharbor’s debut album will see the light of day this June, and I can’t wait to see what else Keshav has up his sleeve." - Heavy Blog Is Heavy (www.heavyblogisheavy.com)

“Orchestrated swirling genius with a thumping heartbeat” – from the Harmony Central Online Community

Celestial (ft. Daniel Tompkins, Vishal J. Singh and Marty Friedman) by Skyharbor
