On 21st January 2012, Mumbai(Maharashtra) witnessed the second installment of the original idea of a gig exclusively dedicated to Black Metal bands. Being the only such gig in the entire country, Black Metal Krieg proved to be a great platform for bands to find a suitable audience and not be judged for the low technical skill requirements for their choice of genre. Black Metal Krieg II was no less amazing than the first, featuring 6 bands this time around, as opposed to the 4 from the first time. The lineup consisted of COSMIC INFUSION, DARK DESOLATION, SPIKED CRIB, INSANE PROPHECY, STARK DENIAL and DHISHTI - playing in that order.

Chicago, Illinois-based Death Metal quintet BLACK SEPTEMBER has inked a deal with PROSTHETIC RECORDS. The band, which formed in 2006 based on the bandmembers' love of acts such as BOLT THROWER and BATHORY, amongst others, has released several EP's as well as last year's full-length album, THE FORBIDDEN GATES BEYOND. PROSTHETIC RECORDS will re-release THE FORBIDDEN GATES BEYOND, this summer.
