Just as we promised, the Rolling Stone Metal Awards are bigger and louder this year, with gigs across the country building up to a roaring finale in Mumbai. Kicking off the moshpits is a show in Jaipur next month.

Delhi tech/groove metal band Undying Inc., Mumbai thrash/death metal band Devoid and Delhi progressive metalcore band Colossal Figures, who are nominated in five categories at RSMA 2015, will perform at Jaipur lounge venue District 9. They will be supported by two upcoming local acts ”“ prog death metal band Winter Gate, who re-released their 2012 EP Disillumination last year, and metal band Deathscent, who are preparing to release their debut EP From Death With Love. If you’ve always thought of Jaipur as the home of literature and world/folk music festivals, then you need to make your way to this RSMA pre-gig organized by the good folks behind the Outrage Festival, which was held in Delhi in 2014.

Voting in three categories ”“ Best Band, Best Album and Best Song ”“ is now open to the public. You can vote here or at any of the pre-gigs, where voting forms will be available. Check out the full list of nominees here. We also have pre-gigs lined up in Bengaluru and Delhi, so stay tuned for more news here.

G-Shock presents Rolling Stone Metal Awards in association with Lee Cooper Shoes featuring Undying Inc., Devoid, Colossal Figures, Winter Gate and Deathscent on March 7th, 2015 at District 9, Jaipur. Entry: TBA. Event details here.
