Biography

Lust Of Symphony are a Six-piece Progressive Rock/Metal outfit hailing from Mumbai, India, but they're not just another band. They are professional musicians from all corners of the world. Imagine a bunch of virtuosos, with a huge passion for music. Lust Of Symphony was from the start the brainchild of Kiran Roy; lead guitars. The band's name is both a reference for their undying love for music, and the speed and melody that is an integral part of their virtuosic music. All members of the band are virtuosos in their craft and full time professional musicians and teachers in their Academy Guitar Hall, which apart from being India’s first and foremost professional guitar training academy, is also the world’s largest chain of guitar training academies. Every member of the band holds a vast experience of live performances with their respective bands. Lust Of Symphony is an amalgamation of musicians from far corners of the world.
Already having a huge fan base in India courtesy their individual performances right throughout and due to Guitar Hall, Lust Of Symphony is all set to rock India with their new sound and virtuoso guitars, keyboards and drums playing.
Guitarist Kiran Roy first gained notoriety and stepped into the live circuit when he won the best lead guitarist awards for 3 consecutive years at various college festivals starting from 2001 with his Rock band R.O.T.He soon went on to take his Guitar Academy Guitar Hall to great heights. During the process he met some extraordinarily talented musicians like Dhruv Rathod;lead guitars, Aman Gujral;bass, Toshi Hizungba who is a native of Nagaland;lead guitars, Tristan Poirier who is a native of France;vocals/keyboards and Udit Kapoor;drums, who apart from teaching in Guitar Hall were also performing in various Rock bands all over.
Kiran Roy, a former truant; current nationally-renowned guitar hero, begged to differ when his professional musician friends from the film industry sniggered and insisted that Rock music isn't something you can make a living out of in India. In spite of almost non-existent support in their early days, their perseverance and countless hours of practice have taken the band higher from the very first band rehearsals. Thanks to their uncompromising attitude, the band have made themselves known for their striking mix of mind-blowingly technical guitar work, yet still extremely aggressive and catchy metal rhythm section heavier than most metal bands in the scene. Today Lust Of Symphony are about to take their virtuosic music to a new level altogether.
Having a host of original guitar based instrumentals the band also has many compositions with their vocalist Tristan Poirier. The band influences are VAN HALEN, DREAM THEATER, RACER-X, STEVE VAI, JOE SATRIANI, MEGADETH, PANTERA, Eric Johnson, Neil Zaza, JUDAS PRIEST, Andy Timmons, etc.
