Episode 7 Toshi from Syphilectomy |

Call them a brutal death metal band, call them slam - Syphilectomy from Kohima, Nagaland was our third stop during the sonic exploration of the underground in the North East of India. We realized @Syphilectomy has a formidable underground and global following as we caught up with their lead vocalist and bassist frontman Toshi Imchen who shared his views on all things gore, religion, death metal and Christmas! in Nagaland.

Find some behind the scenes footage, unpublished interviews, great human experiences and jaw-dropping landscapes of the North Eastern region of India, considered as the bedrock of metal music and culture. We cannot thank enough for the hospitality provided by our NE friends during this leg of the film shoot.
