Description
The EP “Mountain Grinders”, released in 2015 as the band’s reunion after around a 13-year hiatus, is an ambitious work with a worldview and sound reminiscent of their native Nepal, and a strong sense of originality.
Their third release (second full-length album), “Photonic Death”, released only on cassette tape in 2022, is a masterpiece of absolute originality and charisma that further advances the musicality of the previous album and brings to fruition the identity of Nepalese origin in their music.
This reissue features these two works on one CD, both with a new cover art design. The booklet is designed with reversible cover art. Bonus content includes an interview with Dr. Sunil Dev Pant (different from “Blood Metal Initiation”) and a logo sticker will be included.
