CHEPANG
“Misanthropic dissonance of mangled guitars, demented shrieks and schizophrenic drumming.”Chepang is a Nepali grindcore band from USA. The band formed in 2016 and are originally from Nepal and have been residing in the states for the last decade. Coming from a war torn country during the time of their arrival in the US, the band members shared common frustration and anger towards the political turmoil in Nepal. Although things have improved and there is no more war, there is still a massive influx of corruption and politics that still hamper Nepal. Not a day in a month goes by without some sort of National Curfew done by various political parties and their agenda, which shuts down the government. Nepali citizens are consistently left without electricity for 16 hours because of the corrupt government selling all of its natural water resources to India and china. This frustration is what has bonded Chepang together. The first hand experience and memories of civil war from the past and the hopelessness of their motherland’s present story is what makes them more fearsome on the way they deliver their music. Relentless energy that echoes violence and hope together with messages from their homeland as well as the immigrant life that they have adapted to. As the band ages and they are broadening towards more genre bending records bringing diversity into grind-core and a type of story telling that resonates worldwide. Get ready for the Chepang Grindcore aka “IMMIGRINDCORE”.
