Biography
Dhishti is a Sri Lankan black metal project initialized by Jayakody and Deshapriya in early 2009 as a studio band.
In 2010, the band was joined by Kirindage on drums and Udugampala on bass and Dishti performed their first live gig in Colombo at The Ominous Gathering Testament I in May 2010. Later Dylan Perera played guitars for a few months he chose to leave the band due to personal issues.
After a disagreement within the band, Udugampola left in late 2010. Kirindage took up the mantle of bassist and Alles was incorporated into the ranks of Dhishti in December 2010 for a landmark tour within the black metal history of two countries: Dhishti toured Mumbai, India and performed at the first ever completely black metal gig in India; The Black Metal Kreig 2010. Alles has continued on as the band's drummer with his dark style which sets the atmosphere for Dhishti's deviant progression of pounding viscous war beats.
Upon returning to the motherland after their successful tour, Hewakoparage was recruited to bring a unique element of depressive lead guitar solos to the music of Dhishti. With his truly Sri Lankan roots, he has transformed Dhishti's music into something that can be identified as depressive atmospheric black metal of an impressively unparalleled nature. In early 2011 Kirindage was replaced by Lord Bhahirawa of Wawul Kale, encompassing Dhishti's music with bass notes that bleed pure darkness.
In early 2012, Lord Bhahirawa was forced to leave the ranks of Dhishti due to personal issues, and was replaced by D. for the Meditation Of Death tour of India. This epic tour comprised of performances at The Black Metal Kreig II in Mumbai, Darjeeling Meta-Legion Fest in Darjeeling, Stormbringer II in Guwahati and Metal Rage in Bangalore, spanning from late January to early February. D., a veteran of Sri Lankan metal, brings with him varied influences and intense personal experiences which enable him to meld his bass compositions with Dhishti's musical style.
2014 showed two major changes to the band with Hewakoparage and D. being replaced by Lord Vibheeshana and Wickramarathne Gurunnanse, bringing their personal touch of atmospheric black metal to the band's sound.
