It's Raining Metal
"Into the forest I walk alone
Down the winding path, through trees
I feel their eyes fastened upon me
I feel their evil stare"
- Very few can fathom the artistic salvation metal music has to offer. Others just listen and become part of the ever growing metal community in the country.
After being featured in the Global Metal documentary, being proud winners of the "Metal Hammer's Golden Gods" award, being invited to play in the metal fests in Europe, Demonic Resurrection is creating quite a stir in the world wide metal community and is certainly a must on the metal watch list.
Their latest masterpiece album "The Return To Darkness" has gained them worldwide applause and recognition for its quality. Music websites on the internet have termed this as "one of the best from India" with most of the reviews showing up a rewarding 8/10.
Founded in 2000, Demonic Resurrection, led by Sahil Makhija, the band's axe-man, vocalist and composer, has also been part of bands like Workshop, Infinite Hate Project, Reptilian Death, just to name a few. He also runs his own record label "Demonstealer Records" and has just launched a new initiative to help the upcoming metal scene in India- Demonic Consultancy.
Just like Demonic Resurrection, Another band from Hyderabad has slowly been catching up to the glamour of the metal industry - "Skrypt". Then, there is "Exhumation" from Mumbai who's fans are awaiting their new album slated to release on 7th March this year. Jack Daniel's Annual Rock Awards 2010 winner "Scribe" is a common household name and suddenly, there is just so much activity in the Indian Metal scene that it gets impossible to report all of it on a single page.
Bands like Demonic Resurrection, Exhumation, Asylum, Slain, Skrypt are certainly spear heading the metal music scene in India at the moment. What does that mean for the ever growing metal consumer market? Well, this invites some of the best metal bands over the world to play to the Indian audience, better our exposure to world metal music and help send into the Colosseum some of the best Indian Metal Gladiators.
The current metal scene has a larger following than all the years put together in history. Indian Metal Music has struggled through the years to be recognized in the international arena and now, with production quality reaching standards comparable to western bands, Indian bands have their stage set to bring out their creative juices and be heard by a larger audience. This is the dawn of a new era for the Metal and Rock industry as a whole. For us, who can't get enough of this ear-candy, we await the release of a next ground-breaking musical epic.
