About Nepal Death

Nepal Death – A Psychedelic Rock Cult on the Road to Kathmandu

Imagine a 1972 VW bus tearing down The Hippie Trail, packed with cosmic drifters, psychedelic outlaws, and the ghosts of a bygone era. Nepal Death is more than a band—it’s a sonic cult, a hallucinogenic fusion of krautrock propulsion, acid-drenched 70s psych, and hypnotic grooves.

Fuzzed-out guitars, motorik beats, religious chants, temple bells, and haunting sitars weave together to form a ritualistic soundscape—one that dances between transcendence and destruction. This is the sound of ecstatic liberation and impending doom, where every note spirals further into the unknown.

The Mythos
Nepal Death draws inspiration from the dark underbelly of the hippie dream, where seekers of enlightenment sometimes vanished into the void. The band name echoes the tragic fate of Danish psychedelic poet Eik Skaløe, who dreamt of Nepal but disappeared near its border in 1968—his story lost in a haze of myth and mysticism.

The Vision
With a theatrical presence, esoteric aesthetics, and a cult-like devotion to sound and storytelling, Nepal Death embodies the duality of free love and fatalism, cosmic wonder and impending oblivion. The music isn’t just a trip—it’s a passage.
