Immolation & Overkill are bands from America, Alcest from France, Nervecell from Dubai and Kryptos from India.
Individually every band performed for nearly an hour and it was truly exhilarating. The location for the event was ‘Aadya Farms Leisure Park’ which is nearly 25-30kms away from city central. Surrounding by greenery and forest like area, it’s the perfect location for listening to music for doing head-banging continually.

- The stage was quite large which could accommodate the huge music system that every band use.
- Plenty of open space was kept aside in front of the stage to simply enjoy the music and jam.
- G-Shock watches manufactured by Casio are one of the main sponsors for the event. They had a separate section where all the watches were on display.
- Amstel was one of the beer that’s coming to India (100th country) had setup a special VIP section very close to the main-stage. This allowed the guests to hang-out and watch the performance.
- Food counters were presented at one section to allow attendees to keep the attendees energized. Too much of head-banging may tired people and make them dizzy.
