SKATRD X The Down Troddence

About the collaboration

When SKATRD’s world of skatewear met the raw, unfiltered energy of The Down Troddence, something beyond fashion and sound emerged - a shared language of rebellion.

Rooted in the creative soil of Kannur, both brands carry a spirit born from contrast, tradition and chaos, art and resistance, culture and noise. This collaboration celebrates that collision where the rhythm of heavy metal finds expression in the textures of streetwear, and every stitch echoes the same defiant heartbeat that fuels their music.

It’s more than a partnership. It’s a cultural dialogue, a moment where sound, style, and soul meet to reimagine what Indian counterculture can look like.

Ethereal Mayhem Collection

Ethereal Mayhem began where it all started- Kannur. A place of grit, art, and defiance. A collaboration between SKATRD and The Down Troddence, both rooted in the same cultural soil yet destined to shake up different worlds: fashion and music.

Together, they created a 4-piece capsuleAYAKTIHIS Black Vintage Washed T-shirt, Legacy Drape (Kurta), Frayed Denim Shirt, and The Vision Tee. A tribute to the heavy metal aesthetic reimagined through skatewear.

SKATRD also redefined performance fashion by designing exclusive costumes for “Maharani” ft. TM Krishna and “Ejjathi”, and concert looks that traveled from Dubai to Bangalore to Kochi. Every garment told a story of chaos refined, a symphony of rebellion and craft.

Costumes- Music Video

When music speaks of rebellion and rhythm, the clothing must echo the same power. SKATRD’s collaboration with The Down Troddence brought this vision to life through two unforgettable music videos : “Maharani” ft. TM Krishna and “Ejjathi.”

Across 13 crafted pieces - 7 for Maharani and 6 for Ejjathi. Each costume became a visual translation of sound and emotion. The designs were built to move with the music, to breathe the same energy that the band carried on screen. Every fabric was chosen with intent- raw, textured, and rooted in Kannur’s aesthetic pulse.

The details carried the identity The Down Troddence’s logo's details were hand-embroidered, merging thread and metal in a way that mirrored the band’s sound: powerful, layered, and real. These weren’t just costumes; they were symbols of a shared artistic language; a place where fashion and music stood shoulder to shoulder, amplifying each other’s voices.

Costumes- Live Concert

For The Down Troddence, the stage isn’t just a place, it’s an eruption of identity, energy, and rebellion. When they took over stages at Dubai, Bangalore, and Kochi, SKATRD transformed their raw, electric presence into a visual force through custom-made concert costumes that embodied their sound and spirit.

Each piece was designed to move with intensity, built to withstand the chaos of mosh pits and the sweat of performance; yet carry the elegance and grit of couture craftsmanship. Heavy-metal influences fused with streetwear silhouettes, creating garments that were as expressive as the music itself.

The designs mirrored the band’s evolution, layered textures, distressed edges, bold embroidery, all rooted in the same soil that shaped both SKATRD and TDT: Kannur. Every look was a living extension of their sound, tailored not just for the eye but for the experience.

These weren’t just stage outfits; they were statements of artistic defiance, a reminder that style, when born from culture and conviction, can command as much power as the music that moves it.
