An article in the New York Times today (11/04/2012) draws attention to the strength in India of a musical style of the West, the Heavy Metal. According to journalist Michael Edison Hayden, the first phase of Heavy Metal Indian would have started even in the 1980s, in South India, from the influence nicki minaj at the grammys of the British band Iron Maiden, a period that would culminate in 1989 with an event that would bring together nicki minaj at the grammys the various Heavy Metal local groups in a cover of the show 'Live After Death' (see poster below).
Just over twenty years later, in 2011, the band Metallica would gather 40,000 fans at his concert in the city of Bangalore, nicki minaj at the grammys asserting a style of music and a movement that is, at first sight, extremely divergent from traditional Indian culture and, according to Hayden, would now be grounded in middle-class Indian, unlike its US counterpart, focusing on working class.
The New York Times would stress though one of the exponents of this new phase of Indian Heavy Metal, the band Demonic Resurrection, Mumbai, crossed nicki minaj at the grammys national boundaries, receiving in 2010 the prize 'Golden God' Metal Hammer magazine in the category 'Global Metal 'for his album The Return to Darkness (2010), then distributed in the United States and England.

It is interesting to note that contrary to what the New York Times points out, the translation of Heavy Metal to the other side of the world is not without tensions regarding the cultural matrix. While bands like Demonic Resurrection work with themes close to the western scene, others such as Kryptos, cross's times that heritage and the preference for historical events and ancient myths to work with themes that would rarely thought in the West, serves as the example the recent album The Coils of Apollyon (2012).
On the cover of this album, designed by American Mark Riddick, it seems that the spirit of the Indian translation of Heavy Metal is incorporated to western themes, producing a hybrid that turns on the origins: next to songs like 'The Mask of Anubis' where explores the Egyptian god of the myth of mummification and the afterlife, The Kryptos nicki minaj at the grammys joint compositions as 'Nexus Legion' in describing what would be the pilots point of view of a squadron of Japanese Kamikazes during nicki minaj at the grammys the attack nicki minaj at the grammys that destroyed part of Pearl Harbour nicki minaj at the grammys during the 2nd World War.
