In a recent video that has gone viral on the internet, a bunch of kids from Meghalaya were seen vocalizing no less than pro performers in an impromptu with a heavy metal band. They were literally headbanging with the notes and rhythm!
While the exact time and location of the video is not known, a Twitter user claimed that it was shot in Nongstoin, Meghalaya. The kids were said to be grooving to Thunder’s Cave, a heavy metal band from Meghalaya.
“Something I admire deeply about northeast India is its commitment to heavy metal, across every age group. I got into a cab in Shillong, Blackeyed Peas came on the radio, and a super old Khasi lady yelled ‘turn that sh** [off] put on Iron Maiden or something’,” wrote a Twitter using sharing the video.
Take a look.

Meghalaya is full of metalheads
Meghalaya is full of metalheads and metal bands and performers. Even Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has a bit of a reputation as a metalhead. In a viral video from 2020, Sangma was seen playing iconic heavy metal band Iron Maiden’s “Wasted Years” from its 1986 album Somewhere in Time.
“After a hectic 3 day Assembly session .. unwinding with some iron maiden stuff .. it’s been a long while I haven’t played so I guess a few mistakes … (sic),” the Meghalaya CM had captioned the video.
