In conversation: KillKount
Meet the Industry gets its first extreme metal band on the show. Divyanshu Gupta, guitarist of KillKount - the death metal quintet from Bhopal - lays it down tête-à-tête with Maulik about what it's like to be a band that has been alive for 7 years and has finally released it's debut album this year. Divyanshu gives a eulogy for a bandmate they recently lost to an unfortunate accident. He pays homage to iconic Indian bands that have inspired him over the years and shares his account of recording their debut full length album Konflict & Terror. Thriving as a death metal band in India is no small feat but there have been a number of homegrown bands that make the highest cut, and KillKount is one of them.
