Extreme Nation chronicles one of the darkest, most explicit and mysterious forms of a subculture spawned over years of metal music in the Indian subcontinent – confronting a high-power, historic & exciting ride from the past to the present – that have been hitherto little known or largely unexplored.

Shot over a timespan of two years and filmed across various cities, towns and beyond borders, this feature length documentary delves deep into the lives of those who are die-hard beacons and irrepressible spirits of the subculture, unfolding an awe-inspiring anthology of the emergence of metal underground in the Indian subcontinent.

With a self funded limited budget and time-location constraints, the entire shoot spanning 2 years, was conducted with careful pre-planning, and a clear DIY mandate – to capture characters in concurrence with real events. The story depicts never-before shot underground shows, places and faces in the Indian subcontinent, a first-hand account through exploratory travel.

So far the documentary has been shot across 7 states, 9 cities and towns of India, and as well beyond borders in (Lahore)Pakistan, and (Dhaka) Bangladesh through the lenses of 13 pro-cameramen from the fields of documentary, ad-filmmaking and music video backgrounds.The film is undergoing post production and still awaits the much needed funds and grants to secure completion of the project in 2016.

Extreme Nation is a researched and honest attempt in capturing the true facades of extreme underground metal music in India and the SAARC countries, promising a high-power historic & exciting ride from the past to the present of this genre of music, without following the usual TV/ youtube style music episodes which are sometimes painfully academic, often half-baked & lop-sided, and blatantly sponsor-led.

Extreme Nation will be the depiction of true unscathed and uncharted realm of this beautifully obnoxious offshoot of heavy metal music.
