Eclectic acts on stage

Metal mania

Unscene Metal/Indie Edition 9’will be held at The Humming Tree, from September 14 to 15, 9 pm.

The edition will be a mixture of the usual with something different. On September 14, the acts will be dedicated to metal and will feature the much-clamoured ‘Bhoomi’ from Bengaluru and groovy death metal veterans from Mumbai, ‘Atmosfear’. Both these bands are known for their socially relevant content delivered in an inimitable hard-hitting style.

‘Bhoomi’ is arguably one of the finest exponents of pure, melodic metal. Using traditional hard rock and metal as their base, the band stands out from the crowd with their unique incorporation of three way vocal harmonies into their music, which instantly gives them an identity and sound that is all their own.

Mumbai’s groove/death metal band ‘Atmosfear’ continues to belt out songs of social justice and the ills that beset people.

On September 15, in a collaborative effort with Bluetree, internationally-acclaimed drummer Marco Minneman, bassist Mohini Dey and guitarist Ridu Shaw will take the stage.

Marco Minnemann is a German drummer, composer and multi-instrumentalist. He is known for developing a very advanced drum technique called interdependence, allowing him to play various patterns with each of his feet or hands. Since 2011 he has been a member of Steven Wilson’s studio band and on occasion, his touring band as well.

Rhythm Shaw, a 21-year-old guitarist who was hailed as a child prodigy at the age of eight, garnered phenomenal feedback from his audiences through his school and college years.

Mohini Dey, daughter of bass player Sujoy Dey, has been described as a prodigy by many acclaimed musicians.

Mohini Dey started learning bass guitar at the tender age of three and never looked back since having worked with people like Ranjit Barot, AR Rahman and Steve Vai.
