The Lost Symbols, a rock band hailing from Jaipur, India, was established in 2012 by singer-songwriter Aman Raj. The band has previously been affiliated with T-Series and Biscoot Records LLP.[1]

History

The Lost Symbols was formed in 2012, when Aman was attending Lovely Professional University in Punjab. After dropping out of college, he moved to Bhilwara, Rajasthan to live with his parents, where he met drummer Arun Singh Naruka and continued his musical journey. In 2015, the band disbanded due to the departure of their lead guitarist. Aman moved to Mumbai to pursue Music Production and Audio Engineering at BeatFactory Academy in 2017. Encouraged by the sound of rock and metal music, he returned to Jaipur, Rajasthan in 2019 after completing his course and projects. Along with drummer Arun, he reformed The Lost Symbols band.[2][3][4]

By the end of 2019, Aman had written eight new songs, which Gunjan Soral arranged and produced at his home studio. The band started publishing their songs online on a regular basis, garnering an audience on platforms like Spotify. Their song "Khwaab" became popular and was featured on the Radar India playlist on Spotify. The band released their first album, The Diary, on May 29, 2021. They continued to produce music and released their second album, GHARQ, on April 20, 2022. One of the songs from the album was featured in the April 17, 2022 edition of HighOnScore magazine. By the end of 2022, they began performing live, with a lineup that included Arun Singh on drums, Ravneet Singh on bass, Gunjan Soral on lead guitars, Jubin Choudhary on rhythm guitars, and Aman on vocals. They have performed at notable venues in India such as IIT Roorkee, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Patna, IIT Mumbai, IIT Guwahati, and on Delhi's popular radio stations RadioCity Freedom, Radio One 94.3 FM, and Radio City 91.1 FM.[5]

In early 2023, the band started working on their third album, FAROGH, which was released on September 20, 2023. The band collaborated with Ravindra Upadhyay on the fifth track from the album, "Din Barkha". A review of the band's album FAROGH was published in the December 1, 2023 issue of HighOnScore magazine.[6][7]
