So bruh when did the band start?
I really don’t know when the band was
started coz it was a long time back and we used to play mostly classic rock,
punk and grunge covers. We played a lot of gigs as a cover band with the name
broken hymen but we started playing death metal at around June of 2012.
So in terms of metal which was your first gig ?
Brutal lunch box vol.1,
it was with the original line up with me subodh, aditya and shaquille. When we
played gigs as a cover band before this our good friend akash shrestha would
fill in from time to time making the the
blb 1 line up the first and official.
Talking about the band’s name how did the name Broken Hymen
came?
I am a big fan of nirvana, so it’s from
a line of the song heart shaped box from their in utero album.
Ah... Utsav i wanna ask you how were your journey from
Brutal Lunch Box until your Ep launch "SHROUDED BY DEATH" how was
your journey of 11 month?
We actually released shrouded by death
after a year since we started. 13months i guess. Its been awsome man, we didnt
know we would reach this far. Nobody knew us but Jamsthan was the place it all
started. Vishal Rai kinda walked into our jam session and he liked it, so the
next day he says he wants us to play the day after at blb vol.1. After that we
participated in nepfest 3, finished 6th. since blb vol.1 vishal da has been the
only guy who supported us and stil is. then we came up with the demo during
november i guess, we played with ugra karma, binaash and soul annihialation in
the departure from the path of illusions gig which was part of ugra karma's
grinding the himalayas tour. We were at a level no one could bring us down
except us and that's what happened. Aditya had a really bad accident with his
spine broken literally into small pieces. we could have replaced him but we
started off this band as kids with dreams of doing something big and something
different and we couldnt do it without him so we waited until he could actually
sit upright without any support which took about 7 months. after that i
convinced him to play this gig on a wheel chair. abd you've got to give this
guy credit, he trained himself to play exactly like he used to. he showed his
will. besides him everyone in the band deserves the same amont of credit that
he does, the dedication of other members to make him know that everything's
gonna go just fine. ashim khanal formerly of unholy sickdom joined the band
just before the gig to help us and help aditya. the second song on the ep
butchered corpse metamorphosis was mostly written by ashim. where as before
aditya was the sole songwiter in the band. in 5 days we wrote 2 new songs coz
we thought it would take less time than doing the old ones. we played blb vol.2
everybody liked our last performace, and it was really cool. after 5 days of
the gig we went inside the studio and recorded the two songs as aditya was
rushed to china just the next day. That's that and we sold the cds in the
middle of basantapur! which was also a huge success and everybody loved the cd.
Yep the EP was in fact a success and from our side we salute
Aditya for playing in BLB VOL2 with such difficulties. But one thing that
strike all of us is that after "SHROUDED BY DEATH" EP Launch the band
is official closed. Is there possibility that the band will reform in near
future?
Maybe, there is always a may be there
haha... who knows, but i guess we've done our share to help the other bands
form a scene coz its been more than a decade no scene in Nepal, lets see what
happens, but i hope we get back and by that time aditya will walk and jump
around stage
Haha ok Utsav since Broken Hymen is a Blakened Death Metal
band can you tell about this gerne?
I cant really say we play blackened
death metal, but all the other guys did so we thought we'd actually learn about
it and do it, u can hear it in our demo and demo alone, we stopped playing that
after our orignal drummer subodh quit. well blackened death is a genre
compromising of mostly black metal influences with growls and shrieks, we've
always had a little bit of black metal in all of our songs but we cant really
call us a proper BDM band but people said we played it so we just went along
with it wasnt intentional at it, we improvise with melodies in our songs so may
be that confused people.
So what gerne you consider Broken Hymen and can you tell who
are your influence?
Broken hymen
is just death metal, with other stuff flying here and there. i cant really say
much about the influences coz every one has a different set of bands they look
up to but slayer cannibal corpse ugra karma binaash and origin are the bands u
know we all draw influence from.

Ok now we want to ask you regarding our local organizers?
They suck! that's it i cant say anything
u know except silence and nepfest the others just suck. i remember a time where
battle of the bands were something taken really seriously after nepfest 3 i
guess there were so many of these bands didnt even sign up. its a disgrace when
u do it for the money.
Did any experience in life reflect on your music?
Well dint have a great time growing up
as a child, music was the raputical but i have never conveyed any one these
things through my lyrics in broken hymen but yeah those experiences made me love
rock and metal music and wanted to do it from a very young age
How would you define the ups and down an artist has to face especially
trying to bring out a gerne like metal which our society considers a pain to
the ears?
When u decide to play metal, u shud
know its an uphill battle. Most of the people play this kinda music because for
the love of it and the others do it to be cool. Nepal is the only fucking
country where kids play and listen to metal to be cool. Its for the wierd kids
and i think it should stay that
Haha Apart from Broken Hymen which band do you think will
come up on the metal delay?
Definitely dying out flame, my really good friends they're gonna be the next
big thing

Yep for sure they are, in my view they are the big giants
cause this band have have drastically made huge improvement in just a year of
ignition..
Yeah they have, at the begining they didnt
sound like this at all
Yeah thats for sure. Utsav after gigs in facebook event page
as well as during the event, sometime we see clash among musicians and sound
crew so what’s your view on that??
We never had a problem like that so i
cant say anything on that
Well we are almost at the end . Any message to the fans
organizers and the scene related people?
Fuck yourselves you motherfuckers!
that's all
Haha thanx man for such a wonderful chit..
Sure man. No problem
