Nepal Death Release New Single “Sister Nirvana”; Video Posted
Much to Nepal Death‘s credit, they definitely own up to the “Gimme Shelter” influence in their new single “Sister Nirvana,” which arrives complete with backing singers and that everyone-on-board hook. Also to the Swedish outfit’s credit, they earn it. And they pitch the video as hippie horror, which I guess is fair, but I get way more of the dancing at the show than thee kitsch, but so it goes. I’m sure everyone gets slaughtered in there somewhere.
The band’s self-titled debut came out in 2021 and they have other, short-release odds and ends, EPs and singles. I don’t know if “Sister Nirvana” is heralding a follow-up or what, but it’s out now as things are at the places you can buy digital media — I didn’t find Bandcamp, if that’s your thing — so if you dig it, there’s more you can do which I feel like isn’t always the case in the age of preorders and so on.
Anyway, maybe you check out the track and dig it, or maybe you don’t. Costs you like 30 seconds either way and the video is well done. If you’d ask for more you’re on the wrong genre.

DEATH, DECADENCE, AND DISCO BALLS! NEPAL DEATH`S »SISTER NIRVANA!« – 1972 PSYCH ROCK B-MOVIE HIPPIE DANCE HORROR!
ABOUT NEPAL DEATH
Nepal Death is like a transcendent 1972 VW bus voyage along The Hippie Trail. This Swedish musical collective is painting a vibrant auditory tapestry reminiscent of the era of free love, all set against the mysterious backdrop of death goddess Kali Ma. Their music beckons listeners to c ontemplate the metamorphosis (or end) that await them beyond the ultimate destination of Kathmandu.
ABOUT »SISTER NIRVANA«
The music video pays homage to B-movie horror stories from the seventies, featuring captivating dance sequences and a gripping storyline. Directed by filmmaker Emil Dorbell and penned by Nepal Death’s frontman, Anders Hallberg, the video was shot on location in an old strippers’ joint featuring real actors and a horde of evil groovy cultists.
The song is a pulsating empowering psychedelic rock anthem aiming for cosmic dancefloors in all dimensions. Like a marriage of the vibes from The Rolling Stones’ »Gimme Shelter«, and the aura of The Soundtrack of Our Lives or even early Tame Impala. The track encapsulates the essence of the trippy seventies, featuring psych guitars, backward sitars, infectious basslines and a rhythmic drum groove. All interwoven with massive organ and magical flute melodies.
RELEASE DATE AND AVAILABILITY
»Sister Nirvana« will make its grand debut on all major streaming platforms starting NOW! The music video will premiere exclusively on the Nepal Death YouTube and Facebook pages.
