It was early in 2008 when Somesha (guitars) and Ajay (vocals, guitars) decided to culminate their ideas and the duo's keen interest in medieval Indian warfare, history, mythology and ancient Indian cultures into their style of death metal . They chose the name DHWESHA meaning hatred/revenge in their local language.

The musicians wanted to give DHWESHA an identity of its own and with Ajay's mastery at being able to write lyrics in their native language Kannada, the duo decided to take this direction. The band always wanted to preserve the true essence of Death Metal, drawing influences primarily from the likes of BOLT THROWER, CADUCITY, UNLEASHED and early 90s death metal.
 
In 2011, they were joined by Tushar on drums who gave complete form to the band and they have been playing live ever since in their city, Bangalore. By January 2012 they released a six track demo tape titled “Yuddhabhumi” through the polish extreme metal label/zine “Till You Fukkin Bleed”. 
 
Early in 2012 the band also played at Trend Slaughter Fest II where they supported Japanese black/thrash giants ABIGAIL and Canadian Heavy/Doom metal band CAUCHEMAR. The debut album will be released in 2014 by Dunkelheit Produktionen, entitled “Sthoopa”. Be prepared!
