Like button doesn't work for me, eh. Interesting !

Well, this article had a lot of potential but, in my humble and honest opinion, you went lazy when you just went copy/paste the info from their page and posted the logo + Youtube videos.

I think this would be a lot better if you gave us your honest opinion about the show itself and ups and downs of it.

On the other hand, your last two paragraphs told me exactly what I wanted to know; the conditions and if this is a one timer festival of if theres a regular growing underground scene.

great job overall, it was an interesting read.

Well, I had long list of bands which I thought was very intersting and including every one of them will be total junk. So I trimmed down to the best ones which I had included above. As far as my opinions are concerned, I didn't mention it 'cause it would look just like another "metal list" everyone creating here. So by giving a general information about these unearthed Nepal metal bands, I'm letting others decide how my research is. Mind you, some of them has totally hit the international fame.

The scene in Nepal is pretty interesting, I'm sure they have it much harder there than we have it here in India, with regards to getting regular gigs, but it has been growing, and you're always hearing about new bands from there.

I know the dudes from Underside and they're probably one of the biggest bands from there. I have to say they've probably released one of the best videos(production wise) from the subcontinent and they write some pretty cool music too.
They also run the Silence festival that's happening in September. I think it's one of the biggest metal festivals in Nepal and it gets a pretty decent turnout every year, especially with past headliners like Behemoth, Decapitated, Freak Kitchen and Textures. This year they're bringing down Sikth and The Algorithm.

Anyway, I know that the scene there has been growing and the people there are quite passionate about the music, and like any upcoming metal scene you will definitely find some gems.
Hopefully I can travel there at some point with my band

Go to Brutal Pokhra Metal Fest and book the slot for upcoming tour. They have this provision where they invite subcontinent bands to rock their socks off. As you know, Pokhra is hub for Nepal metal fests so it'll be easier if you search gigs in POKHRA.

Isn't your cousins sister also your cousin??

All I knew about Nepal was the royal family promoted luddite values and there were Marxist rebels running around up to the mid-2000s.

Lets not forget the late Crown Prince who went postal and shot most of his family, which the then-prime minister tried to convince the public was actually an accident caused by an "exploding weapon".

Also, damned good article.

You didn't hear about Naxalites? They created furore for what about 10+ years and it was hard to live out in Nepal. Actually, Katmandu(capital city) and Pokhra was on peace but the main city(Nepalganj) occupied by Naxalites. They did have issues in hand that didn't resolve for several years and thus led their demand shot up in preceding years. But, situations are lot better now.

Yeah spread more metal in Nepal.. I hope metal makes more fun for life in Nepal, where Maoist and Buddhist can meditate with. But hey metal seems to fit more for Nepal than nam.. Nam seems doesn't care for philosophic and seriousness of metal..China seems vast but more underground like case of nam,..

Nepal doesn't rate much of a mention in Australia (just like 95% of the rest of the world). Most Australians have probably never heard of Nepal at worst or couldn't find it on a map at best.


And I personally don't really have an interest in that part of the world.

As you(along with 95% of the rest of the world) doesn't care about the Nepal's intricacies, at least this article might give some "acquaintance" with Nepal Metal scene. I hope you'll develop a cordial relation with land of Himalayas..

The only thing that catches my attention in Nepal is the format of the flag

You'll get to find loads of Rock and pop bands who sings in local language in Katmandu but then again they're not hit at all. Well, let me go through my folder and see if i get any metal band who sings in local language(chances are very dim).

You make me sad.

Oh, I listen to Sangharsha and did find them interesting. But, the ones I mentioned is far superior than the bunch of bands who are still developing. I've gotta long list of nepal metal bands covered in my research and ultimately few of them got onto my article. Never heard of Jugaa, will listen to it.

Nepal? I saw a documentary that they don't have usually electricity, so how the hell the guitar will sound without electricity?

You saying as if there ever no electricity exists in Nepal.

Well, as far as scarcity of power is concerned, it has improved a lot.

Uh, I agree with Mold Of Tree. Well, I saw a documentary at Travel Channel that 3 or 4 hours, I don't remember, that there's something like 'electricity breaktime'. For example, you have electricity since 4pm and then breaktime, which mean no hot water to take your shower, no tv, pc, or whatever, until 7 or 8pm which the News starting on the national TV channels. I was with my mother in Nepal in 2011. My mother is a travel guide. We were in Kathmandu and Birgunj and we haven't electricity in hour hotel and the whole entire country for 4 and a half hours. Then we have electricity and hot water in 9pm I guess, I took a shower and then sleeping, the end. :p

We were in Kathmandu and Birgunj and we haven't electricity in hour hotel and the whole entire country for 4 and a half hours.

Everything was fine until earthquake rocked Nepal last year and it worsen the economic conditions. Stil, they manage to give a decent hours of electricity to citizens and installed more solar power systems to give more access to power in rural areas as well.

Obviously, country is developing and with that they're trying real hard to get in the best situation.

Well, your stay was short and you clearly didn't get the issues prevailed at the time when Nepal not struggled only with economic stability but with havoc of maoist as well.

Same shit political system but govt changed, ministers' working process developed, implementation of five year plan executed and it really helped in overcoming of shortcomings of necessities Nepal was struggling to have it.

Things have improved a lot now( got worse again in between when Earthquake smashes Nepal into pieces), they revived with support of international countries and have clearly back on track again. Still a room of improvements have to be done but i don't think it is important as of now.

Alright, I'm sorry, my apologies, I'm a slut, I deserve to suffer...deal?

Dying Out Flame is fantastic. Crazy to think that this was written before Chepang made it big.

Would be cool if you could update this a bit with fixing the Fleshgod band tag, dead links, not properly cropped images, and so on.
