The second year into the new venue DYPSA convocation Unchained 2012 is back this 4th March. Unchained is one of the very few gigs in Mumbai that continues to remain an open-air event. This year brings a massive line up to the stage with headliners Bhayanak Maut, Devoid and Abraxas and opening acts Wired Anxiety and Grimmortal.
Bhayanak Maut
Bhayanak Maut (‘Terrible Death’ in Hindi) hails from Mumbai, the metal capital of India. And alongside other local metal bands, Bhayanak Maut paved the way for the New Wave of Indian Metal. In its 6 years of existence, the band has played at some of the biggest gigs in the country, including, Independence Rock, Great Indian Rock festival and Channel [v] Launchpad.
Devoid
Devoid kicked off its gigging spree from College Rock Competitions of the likes of Campus Rock Idols which was a strong stepping stone for the band to reach heights that they had not thought was possible. Coupled with a string of local pub gigs and outstation performances, Devoid soon established its fan base. 5 years into the making, Devoid released their debut album A God’s Lie in 2010 for which the band won the Rolling Stone metal award for Best Album of 2010 by popular choice.
Abraxas
Abraxas’ ability to captivate a listener’s attention through their original sound and insanely extreme Live Performances led them to win the revered RAIT Unchained soon after their formation, and the National Finals of Campus Rock Idols Edition 5 leading them to open for heavy metal giants IRON MAIDEN at Rock in India alongside bands such as Cyanide Serenity, De Profundis, Slain and Parikrama.
Wired Anxiety
Hailing from Navi-Mumbai, Wired Anxiety is a Groove/Heavy Metal band with a blend of groovy riffs and bass lines, power packed drumming and deep guttural vocals.
Grimmortal
Grimmortal is a Deathcore band from Navi Mumbai formed in the summer of 2009 who combine their various individual influences to create the sound you can here in the original compositions.
