    Nu Metal Resurgence & 'Kill Konscience' Album | SPACE IS ALL WE HAVE Interview

    Is Nu Metal making a massive comeback? In this episode of The Sairaj Kamath Show, we sit down with Bengaluru’s premier electronic rap-metal powerhouse, Space Is All We Have, to unpack the creation of their heavy new album, 'Kill Konscience'. From starting out in the Bangalore college music circuit to pooling contest money to record their debut, the band opens up about the reality of keeping an independent metal band alive. We dive deep into their evolution from atmospheric space rock to crushing djent and rap-metal riffs, the stories behind supporting progressive metal giants Tesseract and Karnivool, and their high-octane collaborations with Munz (The Down Troddence) and Shashank Bhatnagar (Inner Sanctum). 🔥 LOVE THE SHOW?
