Heavy Metal, hell I don’t even know how I got into the local heavy metal scene of Guwahati, let aside the entire music scene. I started this journey back in 2012 with my first concert experience Fireball IV which was headlined by Dutch underground death metal band Dawn of Demise, but back then I had no f**** clue of the genre.
So in 2014, I returned to the scene when North East Death Fest happened that was headlined by Arihant and Shades of Retribution and then went to more couple of gigs. Life was good back then and I earned some much needed respect among the scene.
Then 2015 happened and the rest you all know dope, alcohol and all those bullshit that I don’t want to
repeat again and bore ya’ll to death. After rehab I was at Barpeta till the mid of 2016 when a much needed gig called WRATH V. 01 happened with handful of good bands but people kind forgot me, I mean the old people, but that’s okay, people easily tends to forget many things in this Sin City of Devil’s music, so me going to rehab was just another case going dead in the shadows. Second gig I went to in that same year was BLAST V. 01 and in 2017 I went last at WRATH V. 02 but after that I took off from the scene. This well came with some blabbering from some gossipers from the scene like, “look at that moron, doesn’t come to any gig but talks big into social media as if he knows all thing about metal.” And at home, “It’s good that you walked out, it would have meant more waste of money.” But the truth is I got busy in a decent job, but there also I was forced to sing and was made a clown out of me and one day I just burst and said, “You guys think I am an idiot who came here to entertain you? Then why you complain when I don’t achieve your f**** targets?” that statement itself acted as my own bane when I was distracted furthermore and then was fired from the job.
2019, and I got an offer for working with a band, back at Sin City once again, Played some shows, got some recognition, and recorded and released a song, but with that criticism followed, one being I don’t look attractive as a performer as I am chubby and fat, I don’t look like a metal singer as I have a simple look, and I do not sound like a trained vocalist and is monotonous. Okay, so as per them maybe resume needed to have me having long hairs, bulky body, hell lot of tattoos, f****boy attitude? And no I am not a trained singer but I was self-learnt, and if I sucked that bad then why call me up to be a vocalist at first place? After that I disbanded the band on my own term and then, you all know about the rumors and all the gossips surrounding me.
Now I spend my days doing reaction videos of the band’s songs and albums and truth be told I expanded my test and not confined to the extreme form of music only, however criticism and unwanted or less needed advises follows along with the ones that makes sense and sounds useful.
However, my main focus right now is Videos games and comedy and in music, it’s more like mainstream and folk music as well as rock and metal.
But yes, one thing for sure, I can never escape the atmosphere of this Sin City, I will be dragged into it once again for sure as many are still trying a lot one way or the other. However, I confess that I will be walking into this Sin City once again on my own terms but when? Only time will tell because The Devil Inside me is crying out loud to deal with the dark evil shadows and get over with it!
