4 Dead In 5 Second i guess i don't have to Speak much about this Band. They played here supporting TEXTURES in Silence Festival III and they are the 1st Australian band to tour Nepal. They are from Gold Coast Queensland, Australia. They are currently on the process to release there 2nd EP "Bestiary: The Book Of Beasts". We had a short talk with there Bassist Suman Khatri who is the 1st Nepali to tour Nepal with a foreign band. Giving my personal view i say "Suman must say man entire Nepalese in and out of Nepal are proud of you man" . To know much about the band you can go through there band page.
Before we begin we would like to know how are you
guys doing nowadays their in Australia
Started gigging it's going
well. The new release is coming out soon. Exciting
Going well, well I joined
the band in 2012 but I am enjoying it anyways.
Back then as far as I know you were here in Nepal and played in local bands here in Nepal Australia
I came here in 2009
January. I put on an advertisement on a website mentioning ''I am guitarist to
form a metal'' band and guy name RICK replied me and ask me for a jam. I went
to his house, he was a pro guitarist who had his own studio and I was blown
away after seeing his playing. I played some lamb of god, as I lay dying etc
and stuffs and he was keen to start a band.
We jammed for like 1 month and he even taught me his compositions....we
then started to look for a drummer and bassist ,we found them and started
jamming was the guitarist of that band it was named “NOT TO FEAR”. We played
together for like 3 years and at one point our drummer said” he is going to
mines for work "and he wanted to have a break with music. We all decided
that it’s alright. We would wait for you and keep moving on our own life. One
day I went down to pub to see my friend’s band playing at beer garden and saw 4
dead in 5 seconds. Funny thing "Carrick and I met before in 2010 when I
was in that pub” They played a show, the show went awesome. I was sitting on a
table and Carrick comes to me saying 'we met before here' and I finally
remembered. The other day I got a message saying their bassist quit and they
want my help to continue this band. I was not doing anything with my other band
and I was a guitarist so it was not sure if I could enjoy playing bass but i
said would definitely see and have a jam. This is what I told. Actually Carrick
messaged me to join 4 dead after seeing my cover videos on my YouTube channel.
I did few metal covers that time and we had a jam and also I kind of liked
their genre and the whole band and then I said yes. Well, that’s the story.
Coming to the band name 4 dead In 5 Seconds. What
does it mean? I mean how did the name came?
Actually Blake was reading
through the magazine or book and he found this title. It’s a true incident that
happened in like 1980 in U.S.A.
Interesting for sure going to go through it, Suman
you left Nepal at the time when the scene has just started to get a bit
systematic to a country that has quite a healthy metal scene how was your
experience can you tell us your 1st Australian gig experience?
When I played a show in
Nepal it was kind of rookie what i mean is not that good equipments and
unprofessional .I learned a lot over here after joining some international
bands like NOT to FEAR and 4 DEAD IN 5 SECONDS.... Of course the sound is
always great with good equipment's and i was amazed to see the positive response
of the crowd and everyone cheering and supporting the band. Good vibes all
around...i see true metal heads over here every gig we play. Not someone who
just pretends to be metal head, i get to see good amps and guitar after i got
here. Nepal ma amp haru
thiyena ramro, aile chai cha Nepal
Now coming beyond the band can you tell us about
how your journey in music began?
So my story is kind of
funny hehe . I never thought that i am going to be in a band, musician. I was
so good in studies and one day school ko parents day ma i was in grade 7....
Vice principal announced class 10 ko dai ko name "kuber come on stage to
play guitar” he walked in and everyone clapped their hand. I felt like i wish
if i could play guitar and be on stage and since then i was kind of like i
wanted to learn it and be on stage. After that ghar tira euta uncle hoisinthyo
he used to play Nepali pop songs and sing along. He was so good on singing too
and i started watching him playing and but didn’t bother to touch guitar. Days
went by and i started liking guitar and one day my big brother brought guitar
from his friends home and he started learning basic chords and taught me too.
From that day i was addicted to learn chords and everything, ani i used to find
a way where i can touch guitar and learn. 9 class ma huda i learned basic
guitar. Ghar side ma there was a pool house and i used to go there every day
just to play guitar and khatra khatra guitarist Dai haru authyo. I used to ask
them too tesari nai sikey guitar haru.
For sure man it will be .Again coming to 4DI5S.
It’s the 1st Aussy band to tour Nepal Nepal as a member of a foreign band and play in
the biggest and loudest metal fest in Nepal
It’s all due to support
and loves from you guys. I will let this pride up always wherever i play NEPAL
How was your experience playing in front of home
crowd? During your Nepal
Geordie is our new
drummer. That was Scotty. They just got surprised and still it’s our best show
we have ever played. In short one of the best experiences in our life and
coming back to hometown play a show. It just felt good and I felt like I did
it... I am so proud of what I did and what I am doing for future and family
too, Living the dream.
For Sure man. Apart from 4DI5S what do you guys do?
We work as well. Everyone
is busy making money too as u know we wont make money of music unless we are so
big and got some record label contract .But we see each other and have band jam
,talks every week . It’s Part of our work too.
Yeah in 2012 you guys launched your EP 'CURSES' and
recently a few months back you guys went to Tilburg Netherlands to record your
upcoming EP BESTIARY"THE BOOK OF BEAST" tell us about this upcoming
EP.
In 2012 we just released
single "reanimate". Curses was released in 2011 i think the new EP
will be of total heaviness and different for you all this time. We went with
more variation this time as compared to last releases clean section, guitar
solos and breakdowns. Its perfect match this time .You will feel it yourself
how awesome it is when u hear this new songs.
Talking about Reanimate this is 4DI5S hit num here
in Nepal
Maybe End of May. If not,
June for sure. We are releasing a lyric video of new song first before whole
EP. That new song will blow u up first and then EP will be out.
We hope for that. Almost at the end any message to
fans?
We will love to come to
Nepal soon hopefully mid next year we will see u all again, stay heavy stay
brutal, keep supporting , sharing and respect music ..Thanks for all the love
and support you guys are giving to us. It encourages us to write and play music
more everyday.
Lastly a space for you if we SNRMB team have
forgotten to ask. You can ask us here?
That should be all
Thank you!! Suman.
No worries yaar
