Unlike the US or several European countries, India isn’t a nation where huge metal concerts happen almost every weekend. Small gigs happen regularly across our cities, but when a large-scale metal show does happen, it sees metalheads from around the country come swarming down. Among these festivals that act like heavy metal concerts, Bangalore Open Air is one that has made a name for itself in the Indian metal scene, flying down popular metal bands like Kreator, Dark Tranquillity, Iced Earth, and many more. This year, the festival got Canadian heavy metal band Skull Fist, Egyptian/US death metal band Nader Sadek and the Polish death metal legends Vader to Bangalore to perform for fans, several of whom had traveled from other cities to witness this spectacle.
