Chepang – Dadhelo

So it finally happened. One of the strangest, experimental and noisy bands of the present just released their first full album! They called their own music “immigrindcore” (I guess it`s because they are from Nepal). And I agree with that because these grind maniacs are growing and growing and their music has become more chaotic. Their noises can’t be tagged just like simple grindcore, this beautiful mess stands out from usual meaning of that genre. These guys don’t hesitate to use many elements of deferent extreme genres (which is really cool). For this album our Nepalese friends have recorded 14 songs thanks to Developing Nations Assistant Engineer Yave Rust. The Dadhelo was engineered and mixed by Kevin Bernsten; final mastering was made by Brad Boatright (From Ashes Rise). And this gorgeous art was drawn by Dib Gurung (badass artist from Nepal). Sir Dib depicted an ancient god of death - Kal Bhairaab. And that creature certainly looks very angry. Also I want to draw your attention to another artwork which is inside. This woman is from Chepang tribe, some of poorest people in Nepal (now we all know how they look).
During listening of this album I felt myself inside of big explosion… there were so many small and sharp audio pieces which were swarming around me. So like you already understand this album is a fun mix with lots of schizophrenic guitar riffs and blast beats. By the way these kinds of vocal (I`m refering to the high screams and low yelling) is perfectly fit in the whole picture of music destruction. A distinct feature of this band is the fact that they using two drummers at the same time and this trick makes their music sound much more aggressive and more intense. I really don’t know how that works in a live act but on this record that double drumming sounds so tight! Anybody who likes unusual, chaotic and intense will like this LP.
