The fifth edition of Rolling Stone Metal Awards saw some mosh-worthy performances by bands like Pune’s Abraxas, Colossal Figures from Delhi, Bengaluru’s death metal heroes Inner Sanctum and Mumbai’s fresh, new  instrumental metal act, The Minerva Conduct. The four-piece instrumental band made their Mumbai debut at the event and managed to pull-off an almost perfect set with songs like “End Creation,” “Unearth” and “Metanoia.” While bassist Ashwin Shriyan played some intricate bass lines, guitarists Prateek Rajagopal and Nishith Hegde  tore the stage apart with their riffs and solos. The band was accompanied by Mumbai-based band Demonic Resurrection’s drummer Virendra Kaith in place of Ranbir “Kpr” Kapoor.

Here’s a video of them performing a track from their upcoming album, “Metanoia.”
