Discord 2020 Demo Review

DISCORD

 

 

        Ever since forming back in 2016, Discord have established themselves as one of the most beloved bands in Underground Scene of Nepal delivering highly energetic set list in gigs all over Nepal. Still fresh with the bomb BLOOD SWEAT & GRIND they dropped earlier this year, 2020, and here by the end of 2020 these Bhaktapure Grind Maniacs drop another Kickass Demo this Sunday on GCBT records.

 

                                 

BANDCAMP 

 Comprising of 8 tracks this demo is a live recording and a preview for their upcoming debut full length album- STRAIGHT OUTTA BHAKTAPUR planned to be released late 2021.

 

 Totally head crushed listening to this, this demo is lyrically themed all about us and the struggle faced during this pandemic. What made this so special is the fusion of traditional instruments in this style of music that sound so fvcking brutal and agressive.  Especially the outro track, Straight Outta Bhaktapur represents the ethical side and these instruments that people in Nepal, especially Newari culture, have been hearing since their childhood. 

We can also see two of the tracks are in newari language: CHINAABU which is a Newari slang word and GHACHE PUSAY which means 'ghinlagdo' in Nepali and 'loathed' in english.

Overall this is 13 minutes of total heavy grindcore having hardcore influences. Screechy screams and heavy growls from Keroz Heavily distorted  guitar riffs going fast with the blast beats and changing it to a slow pace you just can't resist to bang your head on with tasty basslines. And adding these traditional instruments to the mix Discord produce something we will highly recommend you listening to. And yeah lets just try to be patient await for the tasty debut full length to be released.
