Before we start our talk, we want to know how did your journey in Metal music started?

My journey started at metal music during school life since 11 years. In my initial days I used to listen metal songs by buying CDs from Footpath and burrowing from seniors from my circle. I used to listen band like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Mega death , Judas Priest, Anthrax, Kreator and many more. In those days I used to tune thrash and heavy metal stuffs. At that time there was no internet in my house So, it was hard for me to find songs as well as albums. Then slowly  albums became available in the market and the CDs used to cost 25 bucks.  Pantera was my first album that I bought. I used to buy CDs from my pocket money. In fact I have stayed hungry for money So, that I can collect my gems whenever and wherever I got there glimpse on market even considering Death core, Djent, Metal core and other Heavy metal albums.

How did the band Undefined Human start?

 Many people choose their own genre, in 2000 AD. There was a band in our town “Hetauda” named  “Suicide Theory” and were inspired by them. We are also inspired by the Underground Bands of Nepal like Ugrakarma, Cruentus, Jugga, Tamishra, and many more. Listening and observing the Underground Music Act in Nepal , thus it urged us to start a Band. As we all know that the band Suicide Theory shared the stage of first Idles of March done by Ktmrocks with Bands like Ugrakarma & X-Mantra. These bands continued but Suicide Theory dismantled due to some reasons and slowly the Underground Scene faded from Hetauda. So to give life to the sleeping scene we decided to start a band and do re-establish the Metal Scene here in Hetauda. In our initial days of Undefined Human, We Jam with Bishal and Ashish from Suicide Theory (The first death metal band from Hetauda).

Our readers really want to know the true meaning of the undefined human ?

Undefined Human, it means the things that we Human beings cannot define. Like an Animal, Ghost, Alien, Cartoon, Supernatural power and so on. Undefined Human means a person, who looks half like a human and half creature”minatory” Haha.

Which bands influence undefined human?

We were influenced by old school death metal band like, Hypocrisy, Cannibal Corpse, Gore fest, Kataklysim, Mortification, Suffocation, Vital Remain, Deicide and many more. 

 "THE CONFLICT BETWEEN BANDS AND SOUND CREW" what do you say regarding this?

I want to say that it depends on guitarist to check his gadget, zoom properly. All the band member should act professional to check their own sounds drum, vocalist, bassist, guitarist on their monitor, As the input given by the bands will be processed to the main stacks. The entire member should have knowledge about how to setup sound. We should not blame sound system as they try to arrange what we give. Along with that we should not blame them as they set up as we say, but we should also have the knowledge about it to listen proper sound how much we need.

I salute you as a true metal head since you are the only person in Nepal who attends every gigs in or out of hetauda no matter how far it is whether it’s with your band or alone what do you want to say regarding the event organizers???

Thank you. Actually I don’t consider myself a true Metal Head. It is the title given by my friends as I attend many gig in Kathmandu to see the international metal event happening and many more underground gigs. Many foreign bands Performed in Nepal like Vader , Napalm Death, Textures, Nervecell, Decapitated performing in Nepal. I am pretty excited that Behemoth is coming Nepal and I will attend that gig as well. Not only such event I attend almost each and every gig that occurs in Kathmandu,  Pokhara or Hetauda.

So how far has the Journey of Undefined Human has gone?

We did gig like underground uproar, tribute to slayer, currently we are  preparing for our upcoming event extreme tour 2013. Our next event is on October. Sincerely I want to thank  Vishal vof brother from Wakk Thuu who has helped  and supported us a lot and for motivating us. We were inspired by Vishal Brother to do the indoor gig, it seems pure underground.

Can you say us a bit about Hetaudas underground scene?

Talking about the past there were events but now in this very present time few gigs occurs as the period of insurgency no gigs had occurred. Along with that band splitted and many members went abroad for studies and for work, that was from 2003 to 2009 but since 2010 it’s taking a pace but not in appropriate way as it should be. As we all know that Suicide Theory played with Ugrakarma in 1st ktm rocks gig Ideals of March.

  

So did any experience in life reflect in your music? 

Not much. But I have a experience to share with you. While I was playing in a event I saw a bunch of kids with long hair and wearing some Metal Bands T-shirt and they were just looking at our face while we performing Sepulturas song. Wearing Metal T-shirt, going to events growing long hair doesn’t make one a metal head it seems a bit of fakeness. I want to say something in Nepali  ( Sunchau Bhanae Timro Dress Up Le Farak Pardaina ).

How would you define the ups and down that artist have to face especially trying to bring out the gerne like metal which our society considers noise?

Firstly metal is for passion not Fashion. Metal music is not for society we don’t damn care of the society what they say. It’s our passion (Jole j vanepani bal vaena). I don’t give a shit. Some people say me why do you grow hair and say our vocalist that why are you barking like a dog, shouting and yelling is that a song and many more, But we don’t care METAL MUSIC IS NOT FOR SOCIETY ITS FOR OUR PASSION.  And especially for the Police Why do you guys assume that Metal music is violent, See the mainstream event. Stop acting like a retard and interrupting when Foreign bands play here as well. For these people they should also know that tourism industries also increase due to such events. I guess society should change their concept regarding metal genre.

Apart from Undefined Human which band do you think will rise up on metal delay?

There are many bands in Nepal I can’t say that which band will rise up in metal Genre as all bands are giving their best and I personally believe that bands who are really serious and consistent on members will definitely rise. There are many bands on my list so can’t express here as well hahahahha...

Any Eps or new stuffs in pipeline?

We don’t have any eps and new stuff. We are composing a song for our extreme tour 2013 and after this gig we will be printing our T-shirt. About Ep I don’t think we have reached that level now.

 Now Sabin I want to ask, do you have any message to the fans?

Please guys support the real scene don’t act like a poser and support the band by buying their T-shirt , eps, and CDs. Support Nepali band to built up our own scene. Say no to piracy...Buy bands merch such as cds t shirt . Attend the gigs.Fb ma page kholera matra hunna just buy merchs as well as bands cds if you really wanna support them.Nobody come and does things for you . Do it yourself to built up your own scene. If u depend upon other for program go and play your instrument in bathroom, toilet, house. (arule gardinxa ki vanera basyo vani) you can’t never succeed and tyetikae marxau hahahaha……

Lastly, a space for you anything we SNRMB have forgotten to ask you can tell us here?

Yes, in fact i forgot to say some more things.No matter how how hard it is to make a band in this scene i wanna say metal music is in my blood. We never depend on the sponsors for an event.cause we believe a true metal lovers can invest themselves and organize a gig like we do here in Hetauda .We never play for money and we don't wanna be a "ROCKSTAR" OR "COCKSTAR " We say that don't depend on others so that you get platform to play its just a time waste. If you think Like that just go and play in some jatra, Business fare, toilet, kitchen or your bedroom cause we never expect that to influence on metal music. Its you who should work on to develop your scene and then only it will evolve. We did many gigs here without sponsors in fact on our own expenses. Support the scene support true metal. Jay Metal \m/.
