Metal from rising and seasoned acts alike is in store at the gig series, Chaos Reigns, taking place this week at The Raft in Koramangala. There has been no dearth of heavy music in the city and this show is yet another dose of extreme metal.

Dequma, the technical death metal band who have been around since 2011, are expected to be “bringing their unique blend of technical prowess and cosmic themes to the stage,” an event release says.

They are joined by Vidyut, the Chennai-origin death metal band who came together in 2009. As wild and unhinged as their music, the band says they are “here to break your bones.” The band adds in their typically dark humor, “Have the cops on speed dial and raise FIR for battery charges — we’re coming to wreck the place. See you in the pit!”

Bengaluru act Dimorphous Expression are also in the mix with their melodic death metal and thrash metal-informed sound. “Gear up for a wild evening full of awesome metal performances, headbanging, moshing, and an overall metal frenzy,” the band says about their upcoming concert.
