Named for the lowest social class of people in their native country of Nepali, Chepang has the spirit of a people long oppressed flowing through their veins, and it's evident in each and every second of this blistering and punishing EP. Their sound is based in grindcore, but pits and pieces fly in from powerviolence, sludge metal, noise rock, and even crust punk. Even the name of the EP is protest-related, as a Lathi Charge is a mob-controlling technique the military uses, dealing blows with riot batons indiscriminately. So if you've got ten minutes and want some fresh, angry grind, Chepang has you covered.
