Cobweb is a Nepalese hard rock band from Patan. In 1993, a group of school buddies in Patan created the band and released their first album, "Anjaan." The debut album was a failure. With songs like "Maryo ni Maryo," the second album Cobweb was warmly welcomed, paving the path for Nepalese rock to enter the mainstream. In the present Nepalese music industry, the band is regarded as a trend setter. The album artwork for Cobweb portrayed typical Western heavy metal. The promotion campaign, however, was identical to that of Aadhunik geet, with descriptions like "dedicated musicians trying to captivate your heart" and "heart winning music." Anjaan was published in 1993. They have released seven albums so far, including Cobweb, 1996 Rolling String, Mercedes Benz, Rock n roll, Astitva, Namaste and Swing.
