North-East India's Black Metal spearheads, INSANE PROPHECY are the talk of the town again. Since their formation in the year 2008, they have been constantly in the public eye, be it for their revolutionary lyrics or their line-up changes.
With their debut EP, APOGEE OF AN INQUISITION out, the band is hogging huge amounts of cyberspace as well as claiming their place in every metalhead's playlist. So we caught up with Ifty Sarwar to know more about their journey as a band, how they've been witness to the changing music scenario, their philosophy and their much talked Black Metal lyrical themes.
IMR: Hails Ifty! I know, you guys must be really busy with the release of the band’s debut material, isn't it? But before we proceed, I was just curious to know about the Black Metal Krieg II gig that happened at B69?
Ifty Sarwar: Well playing at Black Metal Krieg II was a cool experience. It was our first gig in Mumbai where we got to share the stage with some of the finest Black Metal acts from India and Sri Lanka. We’ve released our debut gig out there and the response was great.
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.
