Death Metal Bands

Nice, thanks for the recommendation. (Their EP is up on ReverbNation for anyone else curious. Good stuff, as long as you enjoy inhales/pig squeals.)

Supposedly they reformed in 2011, but I don't see any other releases. Guess it didn't work out?

Some of the band members went on to form Third Sovereign, who sound similar but aren't quite as good.

You've got to respect metal bands in India btw, it can't be easy. I was there a few months ago and Extreme Metal shows are banned pretty much everywhere - the only place you might be able to see a band play live is Bangalore.

That theory is utter bullshit. Extreme metal shows aren't banned anywhere. I've attended shows in 7 cities/towns personally (I'm Indian but don't live there anymore).

The only Indian bands I like are Kryptos and Inner Sanctum.
 
It isn't a theory, I researched this when I was in Mumbai thinking I might be able to catch a show there. Find me a Death Metal or Black Metal show in India that isn't in Bangalore and I'll concede I'm wrong.

Seriously, you're going to call out someone who lived in India and has actually been to shows?
Here are some shows, not in Bangalore, that I've personally been to (there have been many more) :

Mumbai : http://bravewords.com/news/ensiferum-tour-schedule-updated-one-off-show-in-india-announced
Chennai : http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/opeth/2009/saarang-festival-madras-india-3d7a51f.html
Hyderabad : http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dark-tranquillity/2011/unknown-venue-hyderabad-india-23d2248f.html
New Delhi : http://www.last.fm/event/139547+Enslaved+at+Turqoise+Cottage+on+22+February+2007
Shillong : http://www.sinlung.com/2010/01/folk-metal-band-eluveitie-to-headline.html
Pune : http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/meshuggah/2010/elysium-lawns-koregaon-park-pune-india-73deaa4d.html

And here's another upcoming show at Hyderabad : http://rollingstoneindia.com/behemoth-to-headline-deccan-rock-2016-in-hyderabad/

The only reason most shows happen at Bangalore is because it's the "metal capital" of India, it has an actual metal scene with a ton of underground bands and it gets the biggest crowds. Other cities have nearly non-existent metal scenes.
 
Alright, fair enough man, I was using a shitty pay by the minute internet connection at the time which may have made my research a little limited in depth. Thinking of heading back in a few months time so I'll need to check some of those places out.

Fair enough. Although, don't expect to catch a metal show in any of those places. India in its entirety gets about 5-6 metal gigs in a year, on an average. Indian bands mostly only play at college festivals and as opening acts to bigger international bands. Club gigs by local bands are pretty much exclusive to Bangalore and Mumbai.

This explains my difficulty.
