The Heaven's Crying

The Zoo Crew is spinning the soulful track "The Heaven's Crying" by Girish And The Chronicles, a standout from their album Hail to the Heroes, and the Zoo Freaks are loving its raw energy. This song, a powerful ballad with a melancholic edge, has been noted for its intense shift from a slow groove to a heavy, symphonic break that channels the spirit of '90s hard rock, reminiscent of bands like Skid Row and Steelheart. According to a review from Hardforce, the track showcases frontman Girish Pradhan's deep, emotive vocals, which shine especially during its orchestral midpoint, creating a moment that feels both epic and heartfelt. The song’s dynamic structure, starting soft and building to a thunderous crescendo, makes it a perfect fit for the Zoo Crew’s eclectic, high-energy vibe at THE ZOO radio station.

While specific interviews or social media posts about "The Heaven's Crying" are scarce, the band has shared insights about their creative process for Hail to the Heroes on their Facebook and Instagram pages, hinting at the emotional depth they poured into the album. Girish Pradhan has mentioned in posts that the record reflects the music they love, blending classic hard rock with modern intensity, which is evident in the song’s dramatic arc. Fans on platforms like X have praised the track for its nostalgic yet fresh feel, with some calling it a love letter to the golden era of rock ballads. The Zoo Freaks likely connect with its raw passion, as it’s the kind of song that demands to be cranked up loud, whether you’re chilling in a tie-dye shirt or rocking out in the mosh pit.

Girish And The Chronicles hail from India, a country not typically known for hard rock, which makes their rise all the more remarkable. Formed in 2009 in Gangtok, Sikkim, the band started as a group of young musicians jamming to their favorite classic rock and metal influences. Girish Pradhan, the band’s charismatic vocalist and rhythm guitarist, began singing at local gigs, drawing inspiration from legends like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. According to bio details from their official website, the band’s early days were spent playing covers before they honed their original sound, blending old-school rock with speed metal and punk nuances. Their debut album, Back on Earth (2014), put them on the map in India, and their follow-up, Rock the Highway (2020), gained them international attention, leading to their signing with Frontiers Music.

The band, consisting of Girish Pradhan (vocals and rhythm guitar), Yogesh Pradhan (bass and keyboards), Suraz Sun (lead guitar), and Nagen Nags (drums), built their reputation through relentless gigging and a DIY ethos. Their Facebook page often shares throwback photos of their early performances, showing a gritty determination to break out of their small hometown scene. Girish’s collaboration with ex-Lamb of God drummer Chris Adler in the metal project Firstborne also boosted his credibility, as noted in a Hardforce article, bringing more eyes to the band’s work. Their music, including "The Heaven's Crying," carries a universal appeal that resonates with fans globally, as seen in the growing chatter on their X account.

For Zoo Freaks wanting to dive deeper, the band’s official website offers tour updates and merch, while their Facebook and Instagram pages are packed with behind-the-scenes content and fan interactions. On X, they engage directly with supporters, sharing snippets of their rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. While dedicated fan websites are limited, there’s a vibrant Facebook group called “Girish And The Chronicles Fans” where enthusiasts swap stories, share concert clips, and celebrate the band’s high-octane sound. The Zoo Crew’s choice of "The Heaven's Crying" is a nod to a band that’s keeping classic rock alive, and the Zoo Freaks are undoubtedly eating it up.
