Tribute to Metallica, Iron Maiden, AC/DC by Hellwind, 2Blue at HRC, Mumbai

In the immortal words of AC/DC- ‘Rock n’ roll ain’t noise pollution, rock n’ roll ain’tgonna die’. United by their love for wailing guitars, pounding drums, leather and the spirit of the 80s, Hellwind is a motley crew of musicians from Mumbai who love to rock n’ roll. Hailing from various veteran bands around Mumbai (Demonic Resurrection, Workshop, Spook, Reptilian Death, Albatross, Colossus, Apollonian Quest, Zephyr), the members of the band have trained under the tutelage of the various Gods of Rock and take immense pleasure in showcasing their wizardry before you. So expect the theatrics of KISS, the hooks of DefLeppard, the melodies of Poison, the groove of Van Halen and the banshee wails of Judas Priest. Moreover, since the band is on an eternal quest to turn everything they touch into a riffalicious masterpiece, expect their own spin on popular commercial hits as well.

Hellwind is

Akshay Deodhar – The Vocal Viscount
Rajarshi Bhattacharyya – The Samurai of Shred
Kiron Kumar – The Creature of Riff Lagoon
Aditya Kadam- Super Commando Groove
Demonstealer – The Demon on Drums

2Blue has been actively gigging for well over a decade. Having gained notoriety for his powerful high-pitched singing and on-stage charisma while in Vayu and now Zedde, 2Blue has traveled extensively, playing to thousands of fans all over the country. He has also had the good fortune of sharing stage-space with hard rock greats such as Paul DiAnno (ex-Iron Maiden), Matthias Eklundh (Freak Kitchen), Jonas Hellborg (ex-Mahavishnu Orchestra), George Lynch (ex-Dokken), and very recently Bumblefoot (Guns N’ Roses). Always a man for his heroes, 2Blue attributes his vocal prowess to his childhood heroes: David Coverdale, Joe Lynn Turner, Ian Gillan, Ronnie James Dio, and Bruce Dickinson, amongst other legendary voices of rock. Nothing makes him happier than performing live, a gift for which he will forever be grateful. Come, lose your body weight and destroy your hearing. Don’t forget to bring a friend or ten.
