Karnivool to perform at Saarang- IIT Madras

Keeping up with their tradition of bringing down top notch rock and metal acts every year, IIT Madras recently announced that the 2015 edition of Saarang will be headlined by prog rock/ metal act, Karnivool. This will be Karnivool’s first time in Chennai.

This Australian act has received major critical acclaim for establishing the Australian rock and metal movement. They are considered to be amongst the few in Australia’s rapidly growing music industry to still be bringing new and refreshing material to their catalogue. The five-member band consists of Ian Kenny on vocals, Drew Goddard and Mark Hosking on guitar, Jon Stockman on bass, and Steve Judd on drums.

Venue: Open Air Theatre(OAT), IIT Madras, Chennai

Stay tuned for updates as Headbangers India continues its successful association with Saarang for another consecutive year!

Architects to headline IIT Saarang 2014

It’s the return of metalcore at live shows the coming January 2014, as Architects will headline IIT Madras’ festival Saarang 2014, at the ‘Rock Show’.

Though the Brighton boys are primarily a metalcore band, they don’t stick only to that genre, and some of their songs evidently have influences from mathcore and also the punk influenced hardcore. The band is currently on a 100-day tour that will be filmed and released later in the year.

Headbangers India will also be continuing our association with Saarang, and promoting the festival that has been supporting metal for all these years. Right from Opeth to Hammerfall, to Pain of Salvation, Vildhjarta and Anathema, this festival has always made metal more accessible to us, without compromising on the quality of delivery.
