THE BEAST

Iltija by Antariksh featuring Jack Gardiner 'Iltija', a deeply introspective, inspiring & anthemic Indian Rock track featuring globally acclaimed modern fusion guitarist Jack Gardiner marks a crucial turning point in the Antariksh's upcoming concept album, Rehguzar. Iltija captures a moment of stillness where the protagonist, having weathered chaos and doubt, turns inward to rediscover strength, discipline, and self-belief.

Apne haath mein kya hi hai? Har koi ek raahi hai Khud se khud ki ladaayi hai Itna zaroor jaanta hun main Haar nahi maanta hun Thoda pareshaan, thoda besabar Par samandar bhi laanghta hun main 🔗 Follow Antariksh Instagram: https://instagram.com/antariksh_official Spotify: https://spoti.fi/antariksh YouTube: https://youtube.com/antarikshmusic Facebook: https://facebook.com/antarikshmusic Website: https://www.antariksh.in 🔗 Follow Jack Gardiner Instagram: https://instagram.com/jack_guitar_music Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/68xIMmJbS8ic51vrpfxkSo?si=NbMfQRcbQ024KTVVZsMtKA Facebook: https://facebook.com/jackgardinerofficial
