X-Mantra are one of the peers of Nepali metal scene.Although there were bands like Wrath Child,Dead Soul,Ugrakarma and Refused 13 who were already there before their existence but X-Mantra were the first band to come out with a full length Nepali Metal album(i guess i.e.considering Newaz were not a metal band).Respect for that.Their first album in one word was awesome. But saying that...X-Mantra is not what it used to be.In order to get into the mainstream they have compromised a lot and no wonder their sound now is of the mark.I heard they played along with a DJ in their last gig. Nepali metal scene is evolving...and for good.We do now have a good underground scene with countless metal bands.We do have class acts in bands like Cruentus,Antim Grahan,Albatross ,Vhumi etc.....etc.These very young and talented guys are sure to take the metal scene into newights. Herez a link to a video of the song "Infected" by Antim Grahan.Live Version. http://www.ugrakarma.com/ktmrocks/videos/UG1/infected.wmv
