The audience in Rabindra Bhavan, Dum Dum, were sure in for a heavy treat on November 12. Why? The fourth edition of Moitree Concert was held at the auditorium where bands from the country and Bangladesh took to the stage to perform some rock and metal tracks.
Hosted by Gen Next Group, the line-up saw Prithibi (India), Mechanix (Bangladesh), Atmahatya (India), DeathLore (India), Radionuclides (India), The Vagabonds India and FACEBROKE (India) performing their songs. Although Aftermath from Bangladesh were also supposed to make an appearance, they could not make it due to visa issues. Despite that the evening was filled with hours of heavy music as the bands did their genres. The audience left their chairs and went right up in front for the best experience as they banged their heads to the loud riffs.
DeathLore was also in the line -up. They performed a death metal set as well

“I always have tried to bring big artistes from two countries together on one stage and share the same stage with smaller artistes from the city. I want this music to reach people and help them have that experience because small bands rarely get a chance on the big stages. We have put in a lot of effort into this concert and I have to thank my team for that,” said Bipash of Next Gen Group.
