The performing bands:
Bitchslap — Energetic and loud is the best way to define this talented new band from Mumbai. Their demo single ‘Salvation’ received great reviews and these guys show they have the song writing skills. Good music combined with an intense stage act these guys are a bright spark on the scene. Their also know to cover nu-metal acts such as Slipknot as well as bands like Chimaira. Be there or be bitch-slapped.
Skincold — These guys are pure nu-Metal and they aren’t afraid to admit it. When most bands run from the Nu-Metal tag these guys stand true to the music they listen to and the conviction is shown in their performance. Skincold exploded on the scene and took the scene by stop with their tight performance and their explosive act. These guys aren’t afraid to experiment with their music from rap layered vocals to banshee screams, guitar effects and the works. Don’t miss Skincold.
Amidst The Chaos — When most bands are sticking to a genre these guys are covering most spectrums of the metal genre. Their covers range from Lamb Of God to Tool to Nevermore and they do it well, most bands can only dream of being this versatile. But more than their wide range of covers its their original music which really stands out and anyone who has heard the previews of FTD knows that Amidst The Chaos writes killer music. The Chaos will follow at Metal Injector!!!
Scribe — Obscure, vague and bands that you have never heard of. This is one super group that kicks some serious ass. With an all-star lineup featuring Prashant(Exhumation) on guitars, Vishwesh(Split) on vocals, Srini & Niraj(Ex-Chaos Theory) on bass and drums and the final piece Akshay(Skincold) this band has been making waves even though they have played a handful of shows in the last 1 year. Their music borders between metal and hardcore and is extreme!!! A much awaited performance this is one band not to be missed.
Bhayanak Maut — A joke to start with, a bunch of trolls to a band that ripped up the entire southern region of India with their winning performance at Strawberry Fields, IIT Chennai and a few other shows. They conquered the north with their appearance with Joint Family at Numero Uno Rockout. Bhayanak Maut shattered the foundation of Mumbai with their intense performances at I-Rock 2005 and their winning performance at IIT-Mumbai. Bhayanak Maut is back now after a long slumber to waken the city of Mumbai again with their ferocity and ass kicking performances. Don’t miss their comeback with a complete new set and new original material that will blow your head off!!
indias metal bands hav a lot to offer…. i heard them….but they should be globalised n should try n be recognised world wide……if latin american bands like sepultura can do it…….i believe indian bands can also do it…they have it in them. BEST WISHES TO CREATE RIPPLES ON THE BIG STAGE.
Any chance someone could send me a copy of this CD, electronically or via mail? As a US American, I’m really interested to hear metal from other parts of the world, especially one as culturally rich as India. Thanks~ dean@deanish.com
