Background and themes

The album is a tribute to the musical scene of Delhi, from which the band originates. In a Kerrang! interview, Jayant Bhadula states: [2]

"We always try to advocate for things that are close to us. With Nu Delhi, we wanted to let the world know that there is this thriving music scene – not just metal – in India, which is on par with what's happening in the world. The first single, Nu Delhi itself, is a love letter from us to this city."

The third single, Tadka, released at the end of January 2025, is a reference to the South Asian cooking method of the same name: [2] "It's about going the extra mile in the pursuit of a greater flavour." [3]
