After Opeth and Iron Maiden, the scene has hit quite a low, especially in terms of international acts. But here’s some slight ray of hope, even though on a different level.

Black metal/ Death metal/ Grindcore band from the United States, Ready to Bleed, have just released a list of tour dates on their website. And according to that, it says that they will be performing in Bangalore, India, at the Palace Grounds, on the 14th of August 2009.

Ready to Bleed was formed last year with the intention of creating the most blasphemous, grotesque, and extreme metal that the world has ever seen. And will India get to see that?

The band employs use of different composition techniques, while still using elements of classical music. They have a new album coming out soon, also titled ‘Ready To Bleed’. We suspect that their tour will be in connection with the album’s promotions.
