The band came together five years ago and has already performed at a number of shows. The band originally started out as a joke until they reached the finals at a competition in Chennai.. The band was formed and named by Jaison and Sriram who recruited several members including Sera Kattoua Aman, Ravi Balakrishnan, Baba and Rahul to join the band. Of the original band only Baba and Rahul remain in the BM. The band regularly has jam sessions at N.O.C. The Jam Studio in Mumbai.
Having been on the Indian rock scene for close to seven years, Bhayank Maut (or BM for short) as it is known as among its fans has played at college fests such as RAIT Horizons, IIT Chennai – Saarang (Finalists), NLS Strawberry Fields Bangalore, BITS Pilani and Goa's Waves Festival. The band also had numerous gigs at venues like Cyclone, Pune. They played at the first gig at Razzberry Rhinoceros and second at SIES Sion college festival. However, the first gig with Vinay as the front man was JRO 2004 and they also came third at Blitzkrieg 2004 – the IIT Delhi competition. Another highlight in the band’s meteoric rise has been playing at GIR in 2007 in New Delhi alongside Norwegian band, Enslaved.

Jai Row Kavi took over as Bhayanak Maut's drummer in August 2009 as Rahul Hariharan decided to take a year off and complete his Master's degree in the UK.
With Jai filling in for Rahul, Bhayanak Maut played at GIR 2009 in Pune and Delhi sharing stage with Norway's Benea Reach. Most recently, on December 5th 2009, Bhayanak Maut shared stage with Holland's Textures and Sweden's Amon Amarth at Deccan Rock 2009 in Bangalore, India.
