Heavy, fast riffs, mind numbing distortion, blast beats, and the shear pace of the double bass...brings to mind the kind of tranquility that one could only imagine about. Being Indians, we mostly have to settle for overseas material when it comes to metal (Though 'settle' would be a huge understatement!). The kind of music people listen to actually varies as you move from one part of the country to the other and the biggest pit-stops for metal in our country would be Bangalore, Bombay, the North-east, and maybe some parts of Calcutta. Lack of proper facilities and reception are probably the two biggest reasons for the slow progress of metal in our country. However with bands such as Inner Sanctum, Pin Drop Violence, Bhayanak Maut and a whole bunch more the prospect of Indian metal can only go higher.
Concerts with metal acts headlining the gig have become commonplace and are receiving rave reviews. Some of the biggest gigs are namely the Great Indian Rock, Deccan Rock Fest, Great Indian metal fest,Rock ethos. Add to the fact that most of these bands are now concentrating more on releasing EPs which I feel is a great move that actually generates a much wider fan-base than possible through live shows and gigs!
