Outrage a day away

There’s one metal gig everybody in the Delhi circuit is looking forward to this month: Outrage festival. With organizers feverishly attempting at mass advertising via social media, news of this gig has reached niches all over India. The insane line-up probably helped there too. Metalbase has been busy trying to get a word from a few bands in the bill and only recently we interviewed Colossal Figures and Fragarak.

“We’re anticipating a huge time at Outrage festival” says camp Fragarak. “This is poised to be an event of such magnitude which would work in favour for the city’s scene.” Truth be said, Delhi has been a rather dry state for huge metal gigs in the past, but there have been a few DIYs every now and then. “Now time for the city to have its own fair share”, say the bands stating that the city was dying to capitalize on the growing metal scene and Outrage fits there. The line up isn’t a mockery of the genre-rooted bill scene like Mumbai’s prog or even Bangalore’s doom imagery, but it encapsulates what the modern metal culture is spewing. Bands like Escher’s Knot and Undying Inc play alongside Zygnema, which speaks for itself there.

But it isn’t the same music available on the band’s site that Delhi wants to hear, they expect the band to deliver new material at Outrage. Colossal Figures are set to play their new album in its entirety. Their fans are looking forward to new material especially with all the hype on their facebook. “Tunes from “Crypts of Dissimulation” still go down in a profound way for the crowd! We have in store some vivid sound from our debut release to turn on the chaos at Outrage,” says camp Fragarak. Their debut did get themselves a newer fan base across India. So what does all the anticipation boil down to? Is it what the fans want? Or is it what Outrage wants? “Outrage craves for some uncensored madness!” Couldn’t have said it better myself.
