Metal Injection - II The opening of the Nepalese Underground scene after 25.4.2015 Disaster

Well this 2 month has been a hell of a ride here in Nepal. Had a massive destruction due to the 7.9 magnitude earthquakes and hundreds of thousands of aftershocks which included an aftershock that was above 7 magnitude. 2 months have passed and still we are getting small magnitudes aftershocks here in Nepal. Death number have crossed 8000 and hundreds of thousands of people got injured and are homeless affecting around 8.1 million people. 12 districts of Nepal got massively affected including our capital Kathmandu. We visited affected districts with relief materials and a medical team consisting of doctors and health assistance in join alliance with NOBEL HOSPITAL and MIRMIRE YOUTH SOCIETY. Trust us the situation was way worst then what we had thought before we left the valley. Before we proceed with why we are writing this article we will like to thank the entire people, artists, fans from all round the world for all those lovely emails, SMS, Phone calls it really boosted me and my entire family and made us stronger than before.

We will like to thank Metal Heads from Nepal who supported us by buying the stuffs that we placed in auction, our Frontman's family  for aiding such a huge amount on this campaign and the global metal community especially  guys from THUNDERWAR Poland based Death Metal act for helping us in our Campaign NO MORE DEATH DUE TO EPIDEMICS. A big round of applaud to them because of them we were able to help around 800+ families from 8 most affected districts of Nepal due to the earthquake..


Well coming to the point now, as we know that many people from round the world are now doing various acts to aid rebuild Nepal a perfect example METAL FOR NEPAL which is happening in 18 countries round the world. The final leg is happening here in September. We will talk about this gig in our Next article but for now we will be talking about the opening of the Scene after 25.04.2015. There was a gig called BLACK OUT PRIDE and Nepal Tattoo Convention  that very day which had to be cancelled due to the massive earthquake. The Last gig that happened before the quake was on 24.04.2015 named the LAST DISASTER. 

So after 2 months of hiatus due to the massive earthquake and its aftermath, the scene is back on action starting up with one of the most awaited  indoor gig Metal Injection II this 4th of July 2015. The gig is gonna feature some killer powerhouses from the Nepalese Underground scene.
Bands to be featured in the gig are


UgraKarma
kaal ( Pokhara)
Aakrosh
Nude Terror
Antyesti
Laash
DISORDER
Dissidence

I had a brief talk with Sagar the main guy doing the show and as per him, "The Metal Injection II had to be cancelled due to the 2015 Nepal Earthquake. The loss of life and destruction of property shook us more than the quake and affected a lot of families of those who lost their dear ones. So, it has been decided that from each ticket sold through the gig, Rs. 100 will be collected as funds for the quake victims".






For those who have the problem finding the Venue of the gig,we have placed the map to Nepal Music School as well.




If you ask me seeing this lineup is a killer one and the price they have set seems reasonable we will know how the show goes, but personally this gig was on my list so i am really excited to attend and break some neck.
Since this gig is for fund raising i will like to urge the entire Nepali bands and promoters one thing. "Milcha bhnae afno merchs haru auction ma rakhnu yo gig ma pani. Tshirts ya j huncha afno band ko ya kunai promoters agency ko. To show respect and memory for the dead stage agadi sab scene related bodies ko merch jhundyauna ya rakhna pae ramro hunthyo and i urge every bands from Nepal afno saman k rakhna milcha rakha ani gig suru hunu 2 minutes silence ni garum in memory of  all those brothers and sisters we lost due to the disaster. Ma ta yo ni bhanchu yo gig ma sab scene ma lageko mache haru aum and make it as a turning point for the scene. Senior dekhi ailae ko new fresh bands haru sab ara ekai thaum bhela hum and make it a turning point to our Nepalese metal scene..
