“Vedic metal pioneers from Singapore, Rudra, are going to release their new full length album through a newly created label division for Asia called Transcending Obscurity Asia. Its only fitting for a band thats highly prominent in Asia to get a separate distinction, to be the first band signed to this leg, and remain most conspicuous.
