Underside’s India Tour
For the Nepal based metallers in Underside, 2014 is turning out to be a rather busy year. With a bill scheduled to open for Dying Fetus at Shillong Open Air and a headlining spot at the 3rd edition of the Insurrection Metal Fest, this can conclude as a small India tour of sorts. The band also gets their track, Pride (Welcome to the Underside) on the ‘Fear Candy’ CD of the UK based Terrorizer magazine, which is the first step to treading in the mainstream. Underside was formed in 2011 but it was only this year, their EP was released. In terms of a Global onslaught, the band believes it may have already begun. With a European tour also scheduled for the August of 2014, and a LP (Satan in Your Stereo) scheduled for global release, Kathmandu seems like only a fraction of the band’s limitations right now. The band is signed to Silence Records and uses ESP and Caparison guitars with AXE FX Mark II audio systems and an EVH 5150III head (remember the Ola Englund video?)
Metalbase India : Hey guys how’s it going?
Underside: Going great, started recording couple of our new songs, preparing for the India tour and our European tour as well.
MB: Are you as prepared as India is for Shillong Open Air? Dying Fetus is a rather blatant argument in itself.
Underside: Man we didn’t expect having Dying Fetus on board, we are extremely looking forward to play as well as to see them live.. It’s gonna be an epic show. Let’s hope (laughs)
MB: How did the band hear of Caparison guitars? They are rather underground, but really classy guitars. Does it suit your tone?
Underside: I met the man behind Caparison guitar, master builder at the NAMM show and even before that I knew more from Killswitch Engage and other metal bands out there. They were kind of underground but man the way they sound, such a beautiful guitar. Extremely prevalent.
MB: For how long has the band been with Silence Records? How has that been working out for you?
Underside: Since we started as this record company belonging to one of our guitar players and we’ve been getting lots of support from them. Great company to look after.
MB: Tell us about your upcoming Europe tour.
Underside: We gonna start up our tour with the festival called Rock Oz Arenes in Switzerland followed by two more gig and we fly to Italy for some gigs out there and to Malta and we’re still getting in touch and preparing for more. We will be out there for at least a month. Super excited.
MB: Lastly, what do you expect from India?
Underside: Dude, India has been the country we’ve been looking forward to play and it’s really like a dream come true. The organizers have been so kind to us and we don’t want to forget our amazing friend Raj Sharma for helping us unconditionally with everything out there. We know it’s gonna be crazy travelling and hopefully great shows.
