I don't have enough words to thank the entire BOA team for turning my dream into reality. These were the two best days of my life. I'm a huge In Flames fan and they were one of those bands I stepped into heavy metal with. A week before the show, I painted "In Flames We Trust" on a huge mount board out of pure excitement and when the band acknowledged it, there was no better feeling than that. There was this moment when Björn (In Flames' lead guitarist) and I had an eye contact, and he smiled at me as I screamed the lyrics of The Mirror's Truth at him - that memory will stay with me forever.
I also wanted to say hi to Karl, but unfortunately, I felt too nervous to approach him. I first discovered this channel back in 2018, even spotted him once in my hometown of Jammu! I've been a regular follower ever since. Thanks for once again covering this event, Karl. Looking forward to seeing you next year as well.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Karl. The journey of organizing a Metal Festival in India is a rollercoaster of emotions, especially when it comes to securing sponsorship. Convincing brands to support this event feels like an uphill battle, as it's tough to make them see the magic of this incredible audience. The struggle doesn't end with just raising sponsorship; keeping it alive over time is a relentless fight.
The heart of metal music beats strong, yet it's still considered a niche genre in India. Gaining acceptance from the broader public is like trying to move mountains. The logistical challenges are daunting, with infrastructural limitations and bureaucratic hurdles testing our resolve at every turn. And then there's the Herculean task of attracting international metal bands to our shores, with high travel costs, visa issues, and their unfamiliarity with the Indian market adding layers of complexity.
But amidst all these challenges, our passion, perseverance, and strategic planning shine like beacons of hope. It's a tough journey, no doubt, but the reward of uniting the metal community and showcasing this genre in India is a dream worth fighting for. I am profoundly grateful to have such an incredible team backing us in this festival.
Thank you again for your unwavering support. Together, we stand strong: #InMetalWeTrust.

What the hell?? I made to a @KarlRock video too?? Man, Bangalore Open Air just keeps on giving. Metal music has a unique way of bringing people together, and Bangalore Open Air 2024 was not just a festival; it was a journey of making cherished memories, meeting musical idols, and connecting with like-minded souls. Here's to the power of heavy metal and the friendships it forges in the most unexpected places! 🤘Thank you so much for documenting this epic experience and it was great meeting you in person too! Your coverage of last years BOA compelled me to attend this year and it was the best decision ever!

Watain is my favorite black metal band.... this is amazing, didn't have a clue India has such an strong metal community. Thank you Karl for showing this 🤘 Support from Croatia 🤘

This edition of Bangalore Open Air has proved that metal is still alive and pretty much kickin' in India. Heartening to see a more diverse crowd this time around. More power to you Team BOA \m/ Only onwards and upwards from here!
Neatly documented Karl, thanks!

As an Indian metalhead, this pleases me a lot

Its nice to see that indian people are open to death and black metal. It would be a blast to play there as an opener or support act <3
PS : Decapitated are fucking gods in the scene, one of the most respected bands in Death Metal. Everybody should give them a try!

Ayyy, made it on the video, feels quite surreal. Working backstage this year at the festival was an insane experience, definitely a peak moment in my life. Got to meet a lot of my teenage heroes up close, bumped into you a few times at the fest, got a fookin pick from Chris Broderick and got to learn quite a lot in the process.
Cheers to Salman, Manaswi and the other members of the core team who made it possible. They're the last bastion of the Indian Metal Scene. See you next year around Karl! Was lovely meeting you. Long time fan of the channel.

Growning up in Delhi in the 90s and '00s, we had GIR (Great Indian Rock) where a lot of South Indian based bands were regulars, including others. Watching your video makes me reminiscent of that bygone 'era' all Delhi metalheads know well . Going to see Knotfest in a few weeks here in Sydney, Australia. \m/ Great Video
