India has its own extreme metal festival and I went this year to see how it compares to foreign music festivals! I’ll take you backstage at the Bangalore Open Air festival in the Indian state of Karnataka. Including behind-the-scenes of Mayhem’s pre-show prep. The lineup also included death metallers Pestilence, Born of Osiris, Godless, Dying Embrace, Kryptos, and Amophia.
