Pushkar Joshi (drums) and Kiron Kumar (guitar) in action at a Hellwind gig

Bruised noses and bleeding faces is a regular spectacle at Metal concerts. When listeners have a chance to rebel for an evening, they go out of their skin. But amid all the revolt and revelry, lies friendship. If you injure yourself in the middle of a mosh pit (the slam dancing spot), the person next to you will be the first to help. Though Metal bands are far and few in the city, the Grand Mammoth Festival - one of the premier Metal fairs - didn't stop bustling. But the upcoming edition (the fifth chapter) could be the swansong of the earsplitting affair.
