He adds that his musical influences for the project came from ’90s death-metal bands, which had post-apocalyptic sensibilities. “Even the album names reflected that. Megadeth had one called Countdown to Extinction. Napalm launched Utopia Banished. The album covers were pretty graphic too, and for me, it’s like creating a 2021 version of the same concepts,” Correia says, adding that creatively, however, he approached Blitch more as an artist than a musician.

But still, listening to the music, you do get a sense of the foreboding that an imminent apocalypse can bring about. There is a darkness to the beats that makes you envision those zombies at the after-party, rather than 20-somethings falling over each other listening to EDM and passing out on the couch eventually. The anime series isn’t over, though. Correia, as Blitch, is busy at the moment creating six more albums, or seasons, if you will. Meanwhile, he has moved back to his parents’ home in Mumbai after spending six months in Goa. He admits that chilling with his folks helps him relax since they still treat the 44-year-old like a little boy. “I feel like a demon living among normal people, like a demon making peace with humanity,” he says. “But, that demon is still unleashing hell through music.”
