“The most prominent theme in “Photonic Death” is Death, obviously. The album title itself is about how the universe might end. – Vocalist Sunil Dev Pant”

Heavily influenced by thrash metal and death metal of early Metallica, Slayer, Rigor Mortis, Sepultura, Morbid Angel, Unleashed, Von, Sinister etc – the band’s music has been praised for its authenticity and for staying true to the death metal genre, and they have played a significant role in the development of the Nepali metal scene.

After a couple of decades of metallic journey, the band have evolved their own style of Death Metal that is barbaric and utterly unique to Ugra Karma. The new album exemplifies this unique savagery.
