What Went Down: Pandemonium III

Finally the day Delhi has been waiting for! There have been bands coming in and performing in the city for some time now, but none of them on a massive grand scale as Pandemonium III. What would be Impiety's third performance in India after Bangalore and Kolkata, Delhi hosted the legendary band for the first time, to wrap up the Heretical Decimation 2014 Tour. Here's a little blow by blow account of what went down:
The customary tweet commences the ritual:


And the timing couldn't have been more perfect! Poltergeist took center stage as we reached the venue!






We all love Cannibal Corpse, don't we? ;)



And a little Instagram love, because we love our hashtags :P



Next up - homeboys Fragarak!






Some Instagram for them too. Studs love 'em Instagram!

Then we decided to give out a quick roundup of the happenings and all before Winter Gate started their massive set. All this because our Facebook page was getting lonely :P

Winter Gate take center stage!









Lots of Instagram love shared here!









They know how to surprise us!



Take a punch, Oxygen. You too, Carbon, you bitch!



Another quick summary and selfless, self promotion:

Cosmic Infusion! And they were sounding massive!







Some Instagram love here because we love to see face paints!









And before the "smartphone" showed how smart it is in conserving battery charge, we caught a bit of 1833 AD on the social media!

And technology had the last laugh of the day :'(



We didn't get to bring you live updates from the Impiety set, apologies for that. But honestly, the atmosphere there just couldn't have been showcased via some tweets or Instagram photos. You had to be there to witness the mayhem. History was made in Delhi, people were satisfied. And at the end of the day, that's what keeps the music scene going!
Until next time, #LiveAGig signing off!

Fragarak: Convulsion At Mainland Crypts (Day 3 and 4)

So you all saw pictures from Fragarak's first performance at Yangtze River International Music Festival in Zhenjiang. As much fun as these guys had in putting up the show, looking at the pictures I found the atmosphere of the festival to be totally electric (which it was according to Supratim) and totally wished that I was there. The surprising thing is, even though they don't have the whole social media network in their country, the word still spreads and people do turn out for the gigs. Good to know that lives and businesses still run without Facebook!

 Now, it got a whole lot better when they traveled down to Shanghai for their second performance, which was at Asia Metal Festival in Shanghai. We only have pictures from the concert this time, but the band totally dig the most populated city in the world.

 Here goes... Part II of Convulsion At Mainland Crypts

Chilling out at the venue, probably half wasted already by the looks of it :P

Fragarak: Convulsion At Mainland Crypts (Day 1 and 2)

So, we and the guys at Fragarak were all set to give you guys a live experience of their tour on our twitter accounts, but it turns out that China isn't that social media friendly altogether. Yes, no Facebook, no Twitter, no Instagram, no Gmail; hell even our site doesn't run there. All they have there is a shitty version of Google. Imagine what would you do without all this!

 Anyways, we did manage to pull out a few pictures from China (thanks to Whatsapp), which we are going to share with you guys with no further delay...

 So here goes... Part 1 of Convulsion at Mainland Crypts!

We couldn't let the band stay in a hotel next to Yangtze river and not ask a picture of it, could we?
