Freaks on Stage: The Nu-Metal Revival with Sum Negative

"Sum Negative, Shimla’s own nu metal juggernaut!, igniting the scene with their explosive blend of intense riffs and raw energy. Formed by guitar virtuoso Varun Valentine and bass maestro Ishan Mayhem, alongside the roaring and thunderous vocals of Aman Manson and the driving rhythms of Farzan Devildriver, this lineup delivers a high-octane performance that electrifies every crowd.

Inspired by the heavyweights of the 2000s nu metal era—Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, and Korn—Sum Negative infuses their sound with the aggressive punch and theatrical flair of that iconic period. Their music combines the raw edge of nu metal with a stage presence that’s as captivating as it is powerful. After making waves with standout performances at Indira Gandhi Medical College and the MARS (Metal and Rock Show) in Shimla, they’re now set to bring their dynamic energy to city venues. Brace yourself for a sonic assault that’s both nostalgic and fresh—Sum Negative is ready to redefine the live music scene with their electrifying twist on a classic genre.

We are glad to inform you that we will also be bringing a DJ along, it is going to be the first proper nu metal tribute."
