Let me begin with asking what is metal music in your view.. Many of the non listeners out there will misjudge by saying violence, aggression, its not music at all and some say kids having troublesome teenage times. It was until 25-4-2015 the entire concept of metal music changed here in Nepal. Here in Nepal after the disaster metal music became the savior. Entire metal community from round the globe acted as one and raised hand to help the people who got victimized by the massive destructive force of mother nature, massive earthquake of 7.9 rector claiming life for more than 9000 people. Here metal became the savior, various metal shows were organized round the world and fund were raised to help the victimized people.
The 2nd installment of NDF was a massive one 2 days of epic madness with crowd attendance of more than 500 which is massive for an indoor gig in a country where metal is not that old compared to the global scenerio. Bringing the most accomplished and intense Extreme metal bands together in the same arena.. Must say it was two days of extreme Metal Veneration.. Held on Jan 9 and 10 2015 the organizers hosted ASIAN DEATH METAL GODS DEFILED from Japan along with SMALLPOX AROMA (Thailand) and MALAPETIKA (Malaysia). This show did left an massive impact thus many extreme metal bands from round the world are now showing interest to play here in Nepal. Whenever i have talk with some senior global metal personalities they ask me regarding NDF this simply shows how effective and intense the show is. Its unethical for me to say this but there are many renowned extreme metal acts from round the world who have a desire to play in Nepal and i hope some of them will for sure play in days nearby.. I
The aid and help from the metal community from round the world has changed the attitude towards metal music and musicians in the country. Recent example is Funerus 2 days 2 cities Nepal tour. Hosted by non other than BRUTAL POKHARA and MASSACRE EVENTS. We hope that the organizers will come up with some more huge acts here soon in coming days..
Today i am going to write about non other than NEPAL DEATHFEST a collaborative effort of BRUTAL POKHARA and EUMSN since 2014. In the period of less than 3 years the event has become one of the premium extreme metal festival here in Nepal as well as one of the most respected extreme metal round the world.
The 1st installment of NDF was held on 11th Jan 2014 witnessed by more than 300+ supporters featuring bands from Nepal, India and Bangladesh. The gig was one day event featuring Fragarak from India, Homicide and Creature of Judgement from Bangladesh. The gig was headlined by Ugrakarma and were supported by promising Nepali acts such as Dying out flame, Aakrosh and Nude terror. It was one hell of a gig and its impact motivated the organizers to do the 2nd installment making the gig much intense and extreme,

Local acts like ROG, Childwife, Asphyxiate, Laash, Dying Out Flame, Undefined Human, Nihility, Defleshed, Corpse Sick and a newly formed extreme act Grenade will be supporting for this massive assault.
One thing that makes me feel proud about NDF is that along with providing platform to play with globally respected extreme acts NDF crew have provided opportunities for young bands and infact giving a massive scale exposure which has thus helped in rise of young bands. As per the flow of information/Promotion and current flow of music in my view there will be massive crowd attendance.
With a motto of bringing tight bands NDF's prime objective is to uplift and promote local talents and provide them ample exposure. The organizers have also made 2 goodwill ambassadors one of them is a very good friend of mine as well. Yes it non other than my good friend and one of the globally respected alternative model/ Promoter NaTyMeTaL from Costa Rica and the event is going to be hosted by non other than Pragati Amatya.
Melvi is the official merch partner. They will be selling official Freshcrawl, Sete Star Sept and Meat Trains merchandises.
