Metal Chennai return with the 16th Edition of Brutal Carnage! Featuring CHAOS, Incendiarius, MANGAS & Drumtoid live at the Spotted Deer on the 1st of August!Headlining the night are Trivandrum’s CHAOS, finally returning to Chennai to launch their new album, Bane of Humanity featuring Nikhil, Jaaga, Manu and Arunava. Fresh off a European Tour, this show marks their long-awaited return to the city after 15 editions of Brutal Carnage!MANGAS is a alternative punk/rock project from Chennai blending hardcore energy, surreal lyricism, and emotional chaos. Once rooted in indie pop, the project has evolved into loud, restless songs about identity, illusion, memory, and losing yourself in modern life. Join in giving MANGAS a fitting sendoff before he leaves the country to study later this year.Also joining the bill are local progressive metal outfit Incendarius, performing material from their recently released EP, Neural Oscillations, featuring Vachu, Boja and Nikhil.Opening the evening is a set by Drumtoid, the metalcore project by drummer Shrikar Varadarajan which combines elements from electronic genres with modern metal riffs to create a unique blend that features motivational, personal lyrics and heavy, upbeat instrumentals.Creatives - Kaushal LSEvent DetailsEvent: Brutal Carnage XVIDate: 1 August 2026Venue: The Spotted Deer, Hotel Palomar, ChennaiPresented by: Metal ChennaiPowered by: The MK NetworkPromotional Partners: The Chennai Scene & Metal ManiaxGates Open: 6:00 PM by @thechennaiscene
