The band, which originates from Kathmandu, is a three-piece outfit
playing old-school-style death metal. In May 2001, Ugra Karma released
their demo record with the line-up of Sunil, Prateek and Aayush. It has
survived with the line-up of Sunil (vocals and drums), Aayush (bass),
Subash (guitars). All the members used to play with different bands.
Back in Kathmandu University, Sunil, along with Prateek, used to be in
a band in which he used to "growl and abuse" his guitars. Aayush also
used to play bass with a band named Yasht but he quit because of
differences.
Later the band decided to change the line-up a bit. Sunil was on vocals
and guitars, Aayush on drums, Subash on lead and Roshan on bass. They
gave their first performance at Kathmandu Utsav 2000 in which the band
bagged the prize for Best Rhythm Guitarist.
Their next performance was at Shikhar Beat Contest in which they had to
change the line-up with Prasant on bass, who came all the way from Hong
Kong for the contest. They also performed at "Metal-A Big Day Out" in
which they performed covers of the bands like Slayer, Sepultura, Sodom
and also two of their original compositions, this time with the line up
of Aayush, Prateek, Sunil and Subash.
"Death in its purest form is what we represent," says Sunil. "We are
getting ready for a gig with Subash and Prateek soon. Aayush left the
country recently for studies in the United States, but he hasn't left the
band."
