Here are the 10 biggest names in Metal who are coming to India and you shouldn’t be missing them!

1. Cannibal Corpse

Unforgiving band with a talent for raw craftsmanship that’s been polished over the years.

Cannibal Corpse is an American death metal band from Buffalo, New York. Formed in 1988, the band has released thirteen studio albums, two box sets, four video albums and one live album.

2. Carcass

Forget the fact they introduced us to melodic metal, these British punks know how to get their metal nailed onto you.

Carcass are a British extreme metal band from Liverpool, who formed in 1985 and disbanded in 1995. A reformation was enacted in 2007 without one of its original members, drummer Ken Owen, due to health reasons.

3. Napalm Death

One of the founders of grindcore, also contributing heavily to the extreme spectrum of metal and punk. Many consider Repulsion the true founders and legends of grindcore, but this is debatable because technically Napalm Death formed before them.

Originally, on their first few demos, Napalm Death were a hardcore punk band going under different names such as Political Unrest, Civil Defence but most of the band names were relating to political/social things. However, they decided to stick with Napalm Death because it was “different” and best described how they felt. This new form of punk rock began to incorporate extreme metal influences, and eventually would evolve into grindcore.

4. Suicide Silence

Playing alongside Cannibal Corpse, take a guess what might go down at CultFest!

Suicide Silence is an American deathcore band from Riverside, California. Formed in 2002, the band has released four full-length studio albums, one EP and eleven music videos.

5. Sikth

If one compares Sikth to other bands of the prog/djent genre, what they will find is a land of obscurity reminiscent of a mushroom trip.

Sikth are a progressive metal band from Watford, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. They are considered to be influential to the djent movement of progressive metal, alongside Meshuggah.

6. Ne Obliviscaris

8. Inquisition

The classic Inquisition sound involves the combination of old school thrash metal-influenced riffs with darker and more chaotic black metal, primarily involving fast, tremolo picked minor-key guitar riffs, thus creating the trademark “Inquisition sound”.

Inquisition is a metal band that formed in Cali, Colombia in 1988 and later relocated to Seattle, Washington.
