CHEPANG Signs To Relapse Records; Jhyappa Full-Length To See Release On May 23rd!

Relapse Records welcomes blistering grindcore force CHEPANG with their label debut, Jhyappa, set for release on May 23rd.

Hailing from Queens, New York, by way of Kathmandu, Nepal, CHEPANG has never been your by-the-numbers band. They dub their music “immigrindcore” and use samples from Nepali pop songs. They sing in Nepali. They embrace their immigrant identities. CHEPANG melds these elements together into an album about self-immolation as a means of self-preservation. Jhyappa touches on these philosophies through a ferocious grindcore attack that sounds as violent as the means through which the band wishes to achieve redemption.

The band comments, “CHEPANG is really stoked and thankful to Relapse Records and everyone involved for taking us in as a part of their family and roster. We are looking forward to the future and carrying on this 'pursuit of understanding one's authentic self' through this video and the record.”

Today, CHEPANG shares the official music video for the album’s opening tracks “Parichaya 2.0 / Shakti (Force).”
