Sri Lankan Black Metal band DHISHTI, made their second tour to India in the month of January and ending in the month of February, named Meditation Of Death Tour. An insight of the tour has been provided to us by the guitarist, Ramindu Sanka Deshapriya and the vocalist Jayakody Marlin. We would like to thank both of them for taking the time out for us and writing such elating words for us. We would also like to thank the whole band for helping us cover them. Here’s what the band has to say about their tour to India.

Atmospheric/Depressive Metal band DHISHTI from Sri Lanka have parted ways with their bassist Srala Rukshitha and have replaced him with Arosha Hettiarachchi.
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.

FRAMESHIFT INITIATIVES (India) in association with RAAKSHA STUDIOS AND PRODUCTIONS (Sri Lanka) is proud to announce DHISHTI's second Indian tour titled - "The Meditation of Death Tour 2012".

Black Metal Krieg (B. M. K) was the first and still remains the only Black Metal Gig to happen in India. The first edition of B. M. K was held on 26 th December, 2010 at B69, Mumbai where 3 of the finest Black Metal acts from India shared the stage with Sri Lankan band – DHISHTI.
