You take one look at the insane solos, drum-beats and the growling and you know this is a band you just CANNOT ignore! Say hello to ABRAXAS from Pune, whose brand of Melodic Death Metal music is fast catching the ears of metalheads across the country! Their extremely aggressive, intense and mind-blasting performances led them to win the revered RAIT Unchained soon after their formation in September 2008, and the National Finals of Campus Rock Idols Edition 5 leading them to open for heavy metal giants IRON MAIDEN at Rock in India, merely 2 months after their formation, alongside bands such as CYANIDE SERENITY, DE PROFUNDIS, SLAIN and PARIKRAMA. The band has since performed in Pune, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Cherrapunjee, Manipal, Hyderabad and Goa and stamped their presence strong, in the metal scene in the country! This is Abhimanyu Singh Negi, lead guitarist of ABRAXAS, in a candid chat with us about metal, music, Maiden, and ofcourse - ABRAXAS!

JUST FOR THE RECORD is a series of workshops that aim to explore contemporary music production and recording techniques and simplify them for musicians.  The workshops will also delve into the latest and most effective tools for music marketing. While there have been many exciting developments in the fields of music production over the last decade, a majority of Indian musicians still use dated techniques and spend undue amounts of time and money producing music that’s nowhere near international standards. JUST FOR THE RECORD will feature interactions with several music industry professionals and give musicians an insight into producing and promoting world-class music. The worshops will include demos of LOGIC STUDIO, a production software that most musicians rely on today. The conferences will conclude in each city with an exciting live performance by a leading band.
