Winter Is Here! UK’s Hacktivist, Italian technical death metal band Fleshgod Apocalypse, and 14 other India’s top notch bands are playing at Mumbai, India on 17th and 18th of January, 2015 at BIG69 Festival! This was the much awaited 11 AM announcement posts on Facebook which you all have been waiting for since a day 😉

In the Rollingstone article, Hacktivist vocalist Ben Marvin says the band is really excited about performing to a completely new audience. Says Marvin, “We don’t have any clue what’s going to happen, or what it’s going to be like.” and Fleshgod Apocalypse vocalist-guitarist Tommaso Riccardi says, “First of all, I think India is like China, one of those new markets for metal, who are starting to open the gates. We’ve already had good experiences in China and Indonesia [earlier this year], so in some way I think Eastern markets are the future. We’re pretty excited to play these places.”

The event is planned to have a dual stage and bands spread across two days and WITH TWO MORE INTERNATIONAL HEADLINING ACTS TO BE CNFIRMED!

Season tickets are priced at Rs.2000 and student tickets are priced at Rs.1,500 for both the days of the festival. The tickets are likely to go on sale from November 7th, 2014.

Oct 24 • All Updates, International News, News • 3063 Views

In a new rock foundation video slipknot’s Corey Taylor have shared a word about his past life , and he got through the dark times where he was homeless , Living under a bridge and decided to end his life. “The only thing that really helped was writing,” Taylor says. “It felt like when I was writing I could work it out, and really be able to get my head around it. It provided a way for me to get that primal scream out, without having to scream. The scream was there if I needed it, but also being able to sing, and really get a handle on the emotions I was feeling without losing my mind.”

Concluding the video he reminded how everyone is special and dark times and depressions are temporary

“There’s always light at the end of the tunnel. There’s always a way out. It’s all temporary. Pain is temporary. Depression is temporary. You are stronger than you know. You can get through it. You Matter, you’re needed and you rock.”
