Demonic Resurrection, the blackened death metal band from India, had made it big at the Bloodstock Open Air 2018 in the United Kingdom.
Frontman Sahil Makhija shared his experience after the gig and was delighted in selling off all the merchandise of the band at one go, which was practically impossible in India. The lead singer and guitarist revealed on his Instagram handle with a huge smile on his face and wrote:
"Officially sold the most amount of merch we ever have at any single show anywhere in the world. Thank you Bloodstock, you bought every single CD we had and all but 1 t-shirt. I think you might the reason that we have for the first time ever in the history of DR actually broken even on our flight costs and visas and have a little to spare. Will do my accounts tomorrow but am stoked to be going home with an empty merch bag."
Demonic Resurrection played to a packed house at the Bloodstock 2018 and the fans headbanged to their music, giving the boys from India a welcome they'll cherish for the rest of their lives. Sahil Makhija said: "Unreal is the only way to describe our experience at @bloodstockopenair - we cannot say thank you enough to everyone who showed up to watch us play and kicked some serious ass. Thank you."
In a country where Bollywood dominates the music industry, Demonic Resurrection cuts straight through and stands the test of time. Even after 18 years post its formation in 2000, the band stands tall and strong and will do so for many more years to come.
Sahil Makhija has worked really hard all through these years to come to a position to tour the UK and his perseverance has ultimately paid off. Though there's a long way to go in achieving his dreams, he's climbing the ladder of success step-by-step and his patience will get him to where he wants to be. As AC/DC said, 'It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n' roll.'
The one band that comes to everyone's mind while talking about Indian metal is Demonic Resurrection and nothing else.
