Blackened Death Metal band NAZHORN from New Delhi have come out with their first release, titled AN ODE TO HUMANITY. The band, influenced by the likes of SUFFOCATION, DISSECTION, BEHEMOTH and DYING FETUS, blends Death Metal with traces of Black and Thrash Metal.
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.

I, first heard PANZERCHRIST on a European Metal podcast in 2008, at that time I didn’t think much of them. When I found that out that I had to review them I wasn’t really expecting much from the band and thought this was going to be dull. But on the contrary this turned out to be a pleasant – oops sorry "Brutal" surprise!
