A metal and rock gig is all set to blow Bangalore to smithereens on Friday. If you're a fan, you'd better be there!

Seven heavy metal bands including two international ones will rock Bangalore this Saturday. So what's so different, you ask? Well, it's for a cause this time, and a cause that we can all appreciate global warming.

Demonic resurrection

Inner Sanctum


Catch Deccan Rock 09, that's all set to explode with a set of over 15 bands from all over the country. With a prelims held to decide the best performers, the winners will open at the gig on Saturday. "Rock shows attract kids and 'young people' of all ages, who will eventually be the future of our nation. We assumed if we sang songs with a message to protect the environment, we'd actually do more good and have a good time ourselves too," says Husain Bandukwal, the bass guitarist of Demonic Resurrection based out of Mumbai.

u00a0Other bands playing at the gig are Kryptos and Inner Sanctum from Bangalore, Undying Inc from Delhi and Bhayanak Maut from Mumbai, who are all, equally excited to be at the performance with a cause. The bands are mostly going to perform original tracks from their latest or upcoming albums, but don't be too surprised if a much-loved cover slyly slips in.

Amod Amarth from Sweden and Textures from Netherlands however remain the major attraction. These two international bands will be the closing performances and fans from across the city are really excited about them.
"Bangalore has a very huge metal base, but we wanted to give the metal fans here a taste of live global perfection and hence the melange," says Renu, manager of the event. "Moreover, there are a lot of international bands, who surprisingly, want to come to India and play," she adds.
