Nepal, a thrash metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, was formed in mid-1984 by Willie Urroz on vocals, Alberto Vázquez on bass, Javier Bagala on guitar, Jorge "Tanque" Iglesias on drums, and Raúl Jesaim on guitar. The group gained early traction with their participation in the 1986 Metal Under festival and released several demos, including "Aquellos bastardos" and "El ojo del Infierno". In November 1993, Nepal released their debut album Raza de traidores, followed by Ideología in October 1995, which was well-received and featured the single "Guerra sucia". Nepal toured extensively, including notable performances with Kreator and Angra, and notably participated in the Mountain Rock Festival in Brazil. Their final album, Manifiesto, was released in 1997. The band disbanded in 2001.
