Formed in November 2000 in Mumbai , India, Pin Drop Violence is a metal band.

PDV started out as a vision shared by the bassist, Pereira-Man, and vocalist Pradeep. Realizing that they had a common interest in music, they roped in Mithun and Michael on guitars. Later, Niraj joined in as the drummer and PDV was created. They had their first gig opening for the veteran band Naked Earth at Razzberry Rhinoceres (Mumbai). After couple of shows Michael quit due to personal reasons, and has been replaced by Vispy, ex-guitarist of Sceptre.

After several line-up changes, Pin Drop Violence now consists of Pradeep on vocals, Vispy "V.A.S.P." on guitars, Mithun "GriDKiD" on guitars, Rohit "P-man" on bass and Viru "Virus" on drums.
