Name: Kunal N. Choksi (name's pronounced as Koonaal)

Nickname: KC, Kuni, Kunalism, Kunality, Coconut, Hallucinating Death (on the forums)

Location: Mumbai/Bombay, India (Greatest metal country in the world indeed!!)

Culprit for: Complete site design and ALL updates, reviews, interviews, news, email interaction, site promotion, pimpin', every dirty work you can think of where this site is concerned.. umm okay, even otherwise.

Occupation: Kvlt Businessman (unfortunately toooo kvlt)

Music you're into: Death Metal (all sub-genres except wimpy melodic shit), Goregrind, Grindcore, Doom metal especially Funeral Doom, selected Black metal and ballsy Thrash. I also happen to have a rather gay spot for rad electronica and techno with titillating female vocals. Old Hindi songs are also known to make me happy.


Favourite Bands: I prefer to have favourite albums than favourite bands because very few bands, no matter how good, are that consistent. I can't get myself to praise an otherwise standard release just because it's from one of my favourite bands. Don't get me wrong, I'm fond of many bands. Just to give you an idea, here are some of the bands I really like -

Death Metal: Incantation, Immolation, Carnage, (early) Amorphis, Gorement, Torchure, Gorguts, Cadaver, Autopsy, Asphyx, Deranged, Adramelech, Monstrosity, Malevolent Creation, (early) Massacra, (early) Morbid Angel, Sinister, (early) Hypocrisy, (early) Vader, Incubus, Intestine Baalism, Demilich, The Project Hate, Pan.Thy.Monium, etc.

Grindcore/Goregrind: Dead Infection, Blood, Godflesh, Machetazo, (early) Napalm Death, Axegrinder, (early) Carcass, Pathologist, Last Days of Humanity, (early) Nyctophobic, Pigsty, Catasexual Urge Motivation, Carnival of Carnage, Dead, Ahumado Granujo, Negligent Collateral Collapse, Jig-Ai, Bodies Lay Broken, Flesh Parade, Libido Airbag, etc.

Doom/Black Metal: Nortt, (early) My Dying Bride, Evoken, (early) Paradise Lost, (early) Katatonia, Morgion, Esoteric, Despond, Aeternus, Summoning, Graveland, Runemagick, Worship, The Bleeding Light, Disembowelment, etc.

Likes: Water falling from above, silliness, cricket, slapping random objects and then rating it by the sound it creates, making sudden pelvic thrusts, thinking about funny stuff and laughing at odd times, wind blowing in your face, overusing tissue papers, buying cds for cheap hehe (I like buying cds even if they are not cheap but then the "hehe" isn't applicable), all soft things particularly pillows, girls, animals


Dislikes: Shit falling from above, wet bathrooms, people getting in the way, opening umbrellas, getting hit in the butt with the ball while taking a run in cricket, Indian Postal service, having to talk face-to-face with cross-eyed people, people who don't close doors properly, getting burnt while ironing clothes, squatting with great effort for a dump only to end up peeing, noisy/whiny girls, animals fighting


Favourite food: Obviously Indian - Butter/Cheese Dosas, Paneer kebabs and vegetables, and also Pizzas.

Favourite movies: I like sooo many of them but they all get old after watching it several times so no favourites as such.
