Relapse Records welcomes the blistering grindcore force CHEPANG with their label debut, Jhyappa. Hailing from Queens, New York, by way of Kathmandu, Nepal, CHEPANG has never been your by-the-numbers band. They dub their music immigrindcore: They use samples from Nepali pop songs. They sing in Nepali. They embrace their immigrant identities. CHEPANG meld 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 wish to achieve redemption.
