Question 3

What's the story behind Guillotine? What kind of experience do they bring to an event?

Accepted Answer

Guillotine isn't just another band; they are genuine flag-bearers for the Indian progressive metal scene. Think about it—these are the guys who released their critically noted concept album, *'The Cynic'*, way back in 2010 and were chosen to open for Metallica. That's a level of validation few artists achieve. For your event, this translates into a performance packed with raw power, technical precision, and an incredible stage presence honed by years of high-stakes shows. They bring a story and a level of musical intellect that elevates any event from a simple gig to a real cultural showcase.

Question 4

What makes Guillotine stand out from other metal or progressive bands?

Accepted Answer

It’s their musical depth. As their profile mentions, their sound is a complex journey—it can touch on jazz, blues, and then dive into the intensity of death metal. This isn't just noise; it’s highly structured and thematic. Their album 'The Cynic' is a testament to this, exploring profound ideas about faith and society. This intellectual approach, combined with their award-winning musicianship (like Akshat Taneja being named 'best keyboardist' at Hornbill Festival), means they deliver a performance that's not just heard but *felt*. They make the audience think, which is a rare feat for any [Live Band](https://starclinch.com/book-band-online).

Question 5

Their music is described as 'progressive metal.' Is that suitable for events like corporate parties or private gatherings?

Accepted Answer

That's a great question. While 'progressive metal' sounds intense, Guillotine’s musical range is surprisingly broad. Their mastery over their instruments allows them to adapt their set. For a corporate event or a private party where you want to make a bold statement, they can deliver a powerful, sophisticated performance that’s more about awe-inspiring musicianship than just heavy riffs. It’s best to discuss the nature of your event when you inquire. They can often tailor their energy and setlist to match the audience, ensuring the performance is impactful without being overwhelming for a general crowd.

Question 6

What are the technical requirements for a Guillotine performance?

Accepted Answer

A band with a sound as layered as Guillotine's will have specific technical needs to ensure they sound their best. Typically, they will provide a detailed technical rider or stage plot.

Question 7

Can Guillotine perform anything other than their original music?

Accepted Answer

Guillotine is primarily known for their original compositions, especially the conceptual work from 'The Cynic.' This is where their unique identity really shines. However, many professional bands with their level of skill can be flexible. Whether they incorporate covers into their set really depends on the event type and the specific agreement. For a college festival, they might stick to their powerful originals, but for a private event, there might be room for discussion. The best approach is to be upfront about your needs during the booking process to see what's possible.

Question 8

What are Guillotine's booking price and fees?

Accepted Answer

The investment for booking Guillotine typically falls within the 20,000 to 80,000 range, but this is a ballpark figure. The final price really depends on a few key things: the type and scale of the event, the location (which affects travel and accommodation), and the required duration of the performance. A full-length concert at a festival will have a different fee structure than a shorter set at a private party. For an accurate and detailed quote that's tailored to your specific event, the best thing to do is fill out the inquiry form. We'll get back to you with a precise figure.
