Nikhil Warekar, an extreme metal fan, went to the Black-Metal-meets-Indian-classical-dance event at NCPA, and this is what he has to say
Vreid are a bunch of faggots, and Kathak bitches are better off doing just Kathak. Fucking Norwegian hipsters hurriedly putting together a shitty concert called Questionings with Indian retards!
You’d expect the Kathak/Bharatnatyam troupe to move with the pace of the music, but they were doing some slow-mo shit. Fuck that!
And then in the middle of the show, you all of a sudden hear ecological/environmental concerns being expressed. “Save water”, “Nobody seems to care…”, “Blah-blah-blah” – well, fuck me.
Firdous (Khan, who was with me) had called the lady at NCPA and the bitch told him cameras weren’t allowed, and it was mentioned on the passes as well, so he didn’t carry one. But we saw a white chick with a video cam and a bunch of retards with DSLRs. Sab chalta hai, I guess.
Bhenchod, another thing – the tabalchis were muttering ‘tak dhina dhin’ when Vreid was playing their song… so fucking funny, bro… it sure was entertaining.
Rukmini Chatterjee (the artsy choreographer who planned this shit) doesn’t believe in fusion, but in the meeting of cultures and art forms. I’m trying to think of a funny example of the “meeting of cultures”, but Questionings is the funniest one. What next – death metal and dandiya?
So what really happens is, Vreid plays a song, and then the Bharatnatyam bitches tell them to fuck off or just stand there doing nothing while they (the BN bitches) dance. Both the parties should have been embarrassed, but no – they were into it as if they were doing something extraordinary!
A dancer went in front of the guitarist, revolved around me with a weird stare, and then went away in a supposedly graceful manner. What the fuck, slut… how silly.
At one point, three Norwegian dudes surrounded this hot BN dancer and were headbanging and playing… all excited and shit… goddamn shit was fucking funny, bro.
Abey, bhenchod… a few poseurs from the scene came there with some more hipsters. I don’t hate them, but well, they are hipsters, and they’re fucking dumb as well. Unn log ko bahot pasand aaya yeh sab chutiyapa. Headbang vagera kar rahe the, full on. Aur ek banda tha front row mein… he was so into this shit, bro… as if he were possessed… full headbanging chalu tha uska. Aur ek budhdha baittha tha uske baaju mein… bhenchod, 70+ age group wale log bhi the.
If you’re interested in turning your brain into a hybrid version of paneer and Norwegian cheese, I encourage you to go for this shit.
Live Report: Metal Bajaao – Special Edition | Live Report: Deathfest 2
Death Metal Dandiya and Goregrind Garba!
The mainstream media is so fucking stupid… all the newspapers made this cross-cultural crap sound like a big deal. Vreid, the Kathak/BN dancers and the mainstream media are morons.
This article surely cracked me up. But Rahul Warekar you could have done away with the swears and long hindi sentences (spoils the fun). Overall a good read. Cheers
The Hindi sentences are funny as hell. His name is Nikhil.
Most of the article is part of a conversion that me and Aditya had on fb. I could have written a long boring analytic article but Aditya thought otherwise.

I for one enjoyed it,it was expected of them to ‘not’ be thoroughly efficient at it but it was an effort worth appreciating.
Maybe if they would’ve executed it in a better manner and planned this properly it would’ve been downright crazy.
yes,the band isn’t that great and they do play some disheartening black’n'roll *GAH*,yet the drummer had a thing or two going on time and again with the mridangam player.
The 11 yr old reciting some environmental essay was the downer,and the band’s vocalist. But the rest had something worth holding on to,a kickass initiative for a 1st timer.
The white chick was with the band,and yes,the choots who used DSLRs got fucked,cuz i was sitting right behind them,Teh Lulz.
Honestly,i expected it to be lot worse since I checked out a couple of videos by the band and it was shitty to say the least, and neither was the dancer that polished with her skills,yet they pulled it off in a real good way.
I’m hoping someone will execute something similar in the near future but in a better way and I hope an Indian band takes such an initiative.
Infernal was thinking of pulling something of such sort,albeit dishearteningly they disbanded.
So yeah,rad concept and a
Sure as hell it was entertaining. I was laughing throughout the thing with my friends at their idiocy. Just ‘meeting’ of cultures makes no sense to me. Fusion is where its at. Imagine if Vreid had created a fusion soundtrack of indian classical influenced bm or some mid paced ambient stuff specially for this event. It would have worked out great i think. I’m not one of those purists or elitists. I like experimentation but this was just a load of shit.
i want nothing similar in the near future ! pliss ! these things do not mix like chalk and cheese ! I hate fusion unless its shakti or something close to it or equivalent to it ! People over here try to pass any thing as fusion these days ! Let bhratnatyam be at its pristine place and metal at its own ! Bharatnatyam and jazz okay operatic arrangement and metal – operatic arrangements and bharatnatayam that’s as far as it goes ! this one was one hell of a foolish attempt at showing who has bigger pseudo intellectual art and culture balls !
@Rahul Warekar: Imagine the blood of mortals surrounding you while a band like Decrepit Birth is playing their guts out, and you’re playing dandiya the extreme way(just scaring people in the fuckin face, poking their eyes, making your surroundings suck the stick, breaking teeth, making them beg for mercy) would be really exciting!
I like how Rahul Warekar used the term Bhenchod!
You want him to crush you like an ant, don’t you?
The name’s Nikhil. Are people blind or something ?
Nah man, it’s just that we like messing with your fragile intelligence.
He’ll give you a crow’s death.
Sorry for getting your name wrong Rahul Warekar
A crow’s Death
HAHAHAHAHAHA….
