WAR TONIGHT is an Indian melodic death metal band from Kalimpong, West Bengal. Formed in 2024, the band blends melodic death metal with modern extreme metal influences. Their music is inspired by bands such as Lamb of God and Arch Enemy, combining aggressive riffs, melodic guitar work, harsh vocals and themes of resilience, struggle and empowerment.

The band gained widespread recognition on social media in late 2025 after a rehearsal video featuring vocalist Srishti Singh went viral. In the video, Singh performed in her office attire immediately after work, drawing attention for her transition from a classroom teacher to a metal vocalist. The clip was widely shared across Instagram and other social media platforms and was subsequently featured by The Indian Express, introducing the band to a broader audience.

WAR TONIGHT has released original material including the singles Goddess of War and Rise and Fight. The band's lyrics often explore perseverance, inner strength and overcoming adversity. Their performances are characterised by energetic stage presence, dual guitar harmonies and melodic death metal influences.

The band has performed at music festivals and competitions across eastern India and has continued to establish itself within the Indian independent metal scene.
