The reclusive Metal Farmer who plays the guitar without a pick!!
Part Musician part farmer, total nutcase... this is putting it mildly.
Morbid Pitbull or Pritham dsouza, who everyone calls Pittu or P2, is a die hard metal head ever since he heard iron Maiden way back in 1985 at the tender age of 5
Picked up the guitar out of sheer frustration at life and surroundings when he was 10 years old and was heavily influenced by the classic rock/metal scene primarily by bands like Iron maiden, Judas Priest, Van halen, Metallica etc as he had access to only mainstream metal bands.
Played his first show with "the Outlaws" in 1996 and in 1999 formed "Phallusy" with like minded musicians in Bangalore and recorded 3 tracks on a pro-cdr release with fellow musicians and friends KRYPTOS, THREINODY AND MYNDSNARE on a compilation titled "HeadBangalore" which is now rare.
As a solo artist he recorded and released his first e.p. ‘The Farmer’ (2000) which had 11 tracks of blistering NWOBHM-influenced heavy metal. Was offered a record deal and a chance to record the same e.p. with vocals and live drums by Gamalzagoth, vocalist of the cult German black metal band Moonblood
Currently inspired by extreme metal scene and listens to music from Death, Black, Doom, Sludge, Progressive, Thrash, Stoner, Industrial, Power, Gothic and Traditional Heavy Metal.
