The W:O:A Metal Battle 2014 in India, supported by the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore kicks off in April with preliminary rounds in 6 cities - Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Guwahati and Kolkata. In Bangalore, the DATE TO SAVE is: April 27, 2014. Headliner LIVE on stage at every battle in every city: German Metal Titans SuidAkrA.
As a final curtain-raiser to this mega event, we present Vol. IV of Indian Heavy Metal in Wacken featuring Bangalore band Eccentric Pendulum, LIVE in concert.
Wacken is now firmly on the metal map of Bangalore in the shape of Bangalore Open Air which has seen three exciting editions so far. The Goethe-Institut is happy to support the Metal Battle at Bangalore Open Air, giving the winning band the unique opportunity to perform at Wacken - on a global stage before a global audience, along with top-billed international acts.
Eccentric Pendulum was formed in November 2008 in an amalgamation of musical ideas exchanged by the founding members of the band - Arun, Vibhas, Ashish and Nikhil. While maintaining progressive metal as their prime focus, the band composes songs combining elements from jazz, fusion and ambient resulting in an unconventional musical concoction.
In March 2009, the band released their debut EP titled The Sculptor of Negative Emotions at Bangalore's premier All Original Music Fest - Rock Ethos. The band's intention to deliver a package of high artistic value leads to stunning cover art by American artist Alex Eckman Lawn. In December 2009, the band was chosen to play at the Deccan Rock Festival alongside international metal heavyweights such as Textures and Amon Amarth and a host of handpicked Indian metal bands.
In 2011 Eccentric Pendulum took the stage at Wacken followed by a gig at Star Cafe in Paris. Their debut album Winding the Optics, mixed and mastered by Daniel Bernath at Uebersound Studios, Germany was officially released at these shows.
