==History==
The band was formed in 1993 with the release of album ''Anjaan''. The album and its music video was not received well by the Nepalese society citing wrong attire such as long hairs, male wearing earrings, which were not usual in 1990s.<ref name="kp01"></ref> The second and subsequent albums however, became popular among youths. Their first video ''Maryo ni Maryo'', which became a hit among youths was released in [[Image Channel]] via [[Nepal Television]] <ref name="tnm20"></ref>

Cobweb's album imagery depicted typical of Western heavy metal. However, the promotion startegy was similar to ''Aadhunik geet'' with description such as 'devoted musicians out to conquer your heart' with 'heart winning music'.<ref name="paul01"/>
