ROC is fake China, for PRC. ROC is neither china nor Taiwan. In a word china is a fake country but a prison of many countries. Taiwan just point it out. At least for Chthonic you should call them Taiwanese band. Cuz Taiwan is what they sing for, not China. Taiwan independence as theme is deep rooted in the lyric and music.
Haha, it's never too late to know Chthonic =) If you haven't already, you need to listen to the whole Takasago Army album. I'm definitely not a black metal fan, but Takasago Army is a beast on its own. I love almost the entire album, and that's a rare thing to me. Truly one of my favorite albums of all time.
I saw this band as an opening act in Vancouver, first 20 seconds everyone was like ok what is this...... Fucken blew the roof off and I've been a fan since
Hey man! Relatively new fan, a few months now but I'm really digging your channel! Wanted to make a request you mind find interesting Diablo Swing Orchestra - A Tapdancers Dilemma. They are a unique band that blends swing, jazz and metal with operatic vocals! Great stuff or maybe the band UneXpect - chromatic Chimera, its just musical madness they have the perfect name to discrobe their music. Anyway dig what you're doing and continued support here brother!
Another great review! Been watching a bunch of these. Would love your reaction to that live cut of Greyen by MergingMoon. Their lead vocalist at the time was (is?) phenomenal.
Going to thumb this up since I suggested the same song along with CHTHONIC - Broken Jade in another video. Yu is god(dess)like with her vocal style and range, practically irreplaceable. They changed main vocal for an album and it's just not the same.
I always have loved Chthonic. The one band that started my journey out of the English speaking metal bubble I was in growing up. Indigenous laceration and quasi putrefaction are my favorites. And Doris, don't even get me started.
Taiwanese Takasago who gave their lives for the Empire of Japan! Sleep peacefully at Yasukuni Shrine. The Japanese never forget the spirit of the Takasago tribe of Taiwan!
no offense. but erhu isn't a 'Chinese' thing. it is an instrument wildly played among places like Mongolia, China, Taiwan, Vietnam...basically most East Asia counties.
Eluveitie are an amazing band. they incorporate flute, hurdy gurdy and violin into a black metal and celtic/European folk music the song Helvetios is a great example also King or Inis mona
Troll Bends Fir \ Тролль Гнет Ель - Ave Celia! - Troll Bends Fir is a folk metal band from Saint Petersburg, Russia. Band members define their style as "beer folk", most lyrics are based on Scandinavian mythology and, as well as the band's image, are related to beer and brewing
Please check out some of Chthonic's acoustic songs! I recommend the acoustic version of Defenders of Bu-Tik Palace in particular. (it would be cool if you could listen to both the acoustic and metal version)
All the clip is about them. The first frase of the song is 'steel ocean winds' (refeering to the original meaning of the word that came after two typhoons back in the 13th century), the destroyed citties, the japanese officers in the middle, etc etc. Is just amazing how this song/clip can make us sympatize to those fanatics.
Just adding to the pool of suggestions....... Gazette- Filth In The Beauty Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - Swing it! Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - Scream Hard As You Can Maximum The Hormone -Yoshu Fukushu
People saying "They are taiwanese not chinese" and i'm here like, "That's not actually black metal, the singer is just using a technique commonly used in black metal". Fun fact: The singer is also a politician. Extra fact: He and Marty Friedman (guitarist, ex Megadeth, ex Cacophony) have a project called Metal Clone X.
ARKONA - Stenka Na Stenku - Arkona is a Russian pagan metal band. Their lyrics are heavily influenced by Russian folklore and Slavic mythology, and their music incorporates several traditional Russian musical instruments. I would recommend this song by them. A lot of traditional sound, plus you will get to know some Russian culture)
JAMBINAI 잠비나이 - THEY KEEP SILENCE 그들은 말이 없다 I would say, they are post-rock with Korean folk elements - they use a piri (a Korean flute made of bamboo) and a zither.
Though I don't believe they have any videos, you should check out "Confess" from Iran. Song is "I'm Your God Now". Just because of their music, they're being prosecuted and threatened with the death penalty for heresy and blasphemy. I haven't heard where that stands, but they are VERY talented! Also, a band from Israel called Orphaned Land, song "Sapari".
I would like to share more information of this music video. first of all its a Taiwanese metal band second its a story about the time that Taiwan was occupied by Japanese and the man especially aboriginal Taiwanese on the island was force to join the Japanese Army which called Takao as the name of the album. YUP the same small island that Donald trump received a fucking phone call.
WHISPERED. They are a really great band from Finland. Their musical style is black metal with a blend of an Asian sound to it, they play traditional Japanese instruments like the Shamisen and Koto, similar to the Erhu. In their lyrics they mainly talk about Samurais and Japanese culture. Give them a try!
Suggestion for bands with cultural influences: Orphaned Land (Israeli), Rudra (so called "Vedic Metal", from Singapore/India; "Hymns from the blazing chariot"), Tyr ("Regin Smidur" - from Faroe Islands), Arkona ("Yarilo" - from Russia),...
I tried to fight them also when my brodirs gave them to me 6 years ago, I was like, oh ehhh, please, and THEN. tHEY FUCKING ROCK AND THEY ARE TALENTED AS FUCK AND THE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. Chtonic!!!! I salute you!!!
OK I have a unique band for you to check out Disreign - Until The Fade Disreign is a Swedish band with a bilingual vocalist that sings in English, Japanese, and Swedish.
check out "silent hell - reject". also a band from the general area. too bad they dont have the same line up anymore as in the video. female vox is like a female lamb of god.
great song :D if you are interested on music with cultural influences, i suggest you Cemican with the song Mixteco They are "prehispanic metal" band XD
Hey Galactic, definitely check out Manntra - Kiša (Kisha). It's a croatian...I dunno, alternative - heavy (?) metal band dealing with pretty fucked up Istrian (Croatian) Folklore thematics including stuff like Satan having intercourse with normal people or sacrificing of a fairy for the greater good and her own dealing with it (which is as well funny because she's ok with it)...well fuck it, enjoy.
Chthonic is great, but honestly....Broken Jade is not one of their best songs. I would suggest Defenders of Bu-tik Palace: czcams.com/video/a5z-AOdCAx8/video.html or Supreme Pain for the Tyrant: czcams.com/video/4jYsu5-TJQ8/video.html . Also, I have been living in Beijing for 6 years and I have been to I don't how many Metal shows here Chinese and many well-known Metal bands from other countries. It is more of an underground type thing cause of the government, and any Metal band that performs here has to get their playlist approved by the government. Anyway...I have seen some pretty kick ass Chinese bands. Everything from Metalcore to DeathMetal. One band that is my favorite is called Yaska. They are a Metalcore/Nu Metal band (I don't know what the fuck to call it) from Chengdu in Sichuan province and they moved to Beijing to pursue their musical career. Their best song is You Are Not the Loser: czcams.com/video/pv9acqrdRU8/video.html If you get a chance....maybe check them out.
czcams.com/video/66YNWi_nDL0/video.html what started it all for me. Much respect for this band. they have accomplished a great deal, the classicals instruments, the one that sounds like a women singing, amazing. We Heathens, Vikings, Scandinavians what the fuck ever you want to call us, dig apprecaiate this and this is what we crave, love your culture!!! breed your culture, be proud of your mothers and fathers of earth and music and wyrdness!
Chinese is just a race while taiwanese is a nationality. We have hong kong chinese, taiwan chinese, singapore chinese and malaysia chinese isnt it? Does not mean that they are china chinese lol. Chill chill

Don't call them Chinese,they are Taiwanese.
right
Wow~real Chinese will get very angry, and keep saying "They're Chinese!! Noooooooo!!".
他一開始有知道是台灣的樂團啦，是指二胡這個樂器是中國ㄉ 不要這麼容易森77好ㄇ
"Let me stand up like a Taiwanese, only justice will bring you peace."
(CHTHONIC - Supreme Pain for the Tyrant )
Yeah, it´s a sensitive topic to both societies, but hey, isn´t black metal supposed to be about it ? :p
Hey man. It's Taiwanese band. Not chinese.
.
Taiwan is actually the Republic of China (ROC). The big China is the _People's_ Republic of China (PRC).
Yeah but that doesn't change the fact they are Taiwanese, at least majority of them claim so.
ROC is fake China, for PRC. ROC is neither china nor Taiwan. In a word china is a fake country but a prison of many countries. Taiwan just point it out. At least for Chthonic you should call them Taiwanese band. Cuz Taiwan is what they sing for, not China. Taiwan independence as theme is deep rooted in the lyric and music.
Anyway, we can take the whole island in one day, and sweep all the "taiwanese" on the tiny island
It doesn't change a fact that it's a country denied by the UN
CHTHONIC come from Taiwan!!! We are not Chinese.
Let me stend up like a Taiwanese!!
Let me stend up like a Taiwanese!!
Anyway, we can take the whole island in one day, and sweep all the "taiwanese" on the tiny island
Aren't you on CZcams illegally? ;)
Aelonius2 I'm a Canadian , nice try
finally my request was reacted as well as chthonic band from Taiwan, thank you for checking my request
i have requested you their best song was "Takao" :)
I can second that. Takao is fantastic!
TAKAO!
I prefer Broken Jade, but Takao is a very very very very close second ^^ The whole album is awesome.
or
CHTHONIC-Defenders of Bú-Tik Palace
i love takao, it adds more than just the uhr and has a very deep meaning
Haha, it's never too late to know Chthonic =) If you haven't already, you need to listen to the whole Takasago Army album. I'm definitely not a black metal fan, but Takasago Army is a beast on its own. I love almost the entire album, and that's a rare thing to me. Truly one of my favorite albums of all time.
Yes!! Thanks so much for taking my request! You're awesome! \m/ \m/
Bro, check out sebuah tawa dan canda - the wings

Im FAN from Taiwan👹 Thank you for choosing this band~
Btw that instrumentit is pronounced like “ER WHO”
Great band, great country! These guys (and lady) sure knows theyre music. You earned yourself a subscriber here
I saw this band as an opening act in Vancouver, first 20 seconds everyone was like ok what is this...... Fucken blew the roof off and I've been a fan since
Same from Hungary
The lead singer is a high level independent politician in Taiwan's current parliament, I believe.
Well, this song is more than just screams and riff arrangements. The story it is telling and the background of the band also matters a lot here.

shit i really love this band
little matel music can make me cry, and this is one of it
Did he notice that the last scene is the kamikaze attack and that Japanese emperor's war-ending-speech is read in background?
All the clip is about them. The first frase of the song is 'steel ocean winds' (refeering to the original meaning of the word that came after two typhoons back in the 13th century), the destroyed citties, the japanese officers in the middle, etc etc.
Is just amazing how this song/clip can make us sympatize to those fanatics.
And did you know what’s the meaning behind of this song?

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - Swing it!
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - Scream Hard As You Can

...Now i'm really curious to know what you think of Ponto Nulo no Céu - Clarão.
People saying "They are taiwanese not chinese" and i'm here like, "That's not actually black metal, the singer is just using a technique commonly used in black metal".
Fun fact: The singer is also a politician. Extra fact: He and Marty Friedman (guitarist, ex Megadeth, ex Cacophony) have a project called Metal Clone X.
soo cool i love it man.
Just listen to Defenders of Bu Tik Palace, man... Their BEST song so far...
Takao is fine too... I mean, everything those dudes touch turns into gold
React to Cyntia "Run to the Future", and Mary's Blood "Marionette", two awesome all-female japanese metal bands.
Their song defenders of bu tik palace is a perfect song.

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
かっこいいねぇ~
ARKONA - Stenka Na Stenku - Arkona is a Russian pagan metal band. Their lyrics are heavily influenced by Russian folklore and Slavic mythology, and their music incorporates several traditional Russian musical instruments.

Ok
JAMBINAI 잠비나이 - THEY KEEP SILENCE 그들은 말이 없다

You should try Whispered they're black Metal with Japanese theme/style
Try the song strike.
Or Sakura omen
Sick. Ill have a look see

Though I don't believe they have any videos, you should check out "Confess" from Iran. Song is "I'm Your God Now". Just because of their music, they're being prosecuted and threatened with the death penalty for heresy and blasphemy. I haven't heard where that stands, but they are VERY talented!
Also, a band from Israel called Orphaned Land, song "Sapari".

WHISPERED. They are a really great band from Finland. Their musical style is black metal with a blend of an Asian sound to it, they play traditional Japanese instruments like the Shamisen and Koto, similar to the Erhu.

Dimmu Borgir takes break from screams but Chthonic never takes a break from the screams. which I find kind of inhuman.
takao reation XD xd XD
Just FYI: The bassist, Doris Yeh, is also an underwear model... [internet creep mode]
That's not true. She did an underwear photo once just for a magazine called "FHM".
ChthoniC - Rage of my Sword
Guess we will just glaze over the whole pearl harbor theme.
