Freddy is Hoanyan, Doris is Kamalan, CJ is Sirayan, and Dani is Ketagalan.
Erhu is an instrument from Huns in thousand years ago, and it's not only used in China, but in Mongolia, Korea, Vietnam, Japan, and Okinawa, too.
CHTHONIC 閃靈映像館 the LAO HMONG AND MIEN SHARE A COMMON INSTRUMENT WITH THE 3 ANCIENT NORDIC VIKING KINGDOMS TOO AS WOLLY MAMMOTHS WERE REALLY COMMON FOR THEM AND OLD ANCIENT ASIANS AND ELEPHANTS HAVE A NATURAL LOVE FOR THE SOUND OF WOODEN FLUTE BAG PIPE RELATED INSTRUMENTS ONLY THORS HAMMER CAN CONTROL AND MAKE THE GIANT BEAST MOVE THOR IS TRULY THE SON OF ODIN WHILE JESUS WAS GOD'S SON TELL ME TO RUN AWAY IF CHURCH PEOPLE TRY TO FIND ME OK BIG BROTHERS AND SISTERS ♡♡♡♡ I USE TO BE A BUDDHAAAAAAAA...... ~_~ AND STILL AM KIND OF......

I don't care if you consider yourself as a Chinese...But I stand up as a HongKongese and support Chthonic being Taiwanese all the way.
Good luck to Freddie trying to get a seat in Taiwan's congress! That's incredible!!
+danielexplosion
He did it !!!!!
The first Asian metal rocker goes into congress to fuck stupid policies.
+Tony Wen I know! Extremely happy for him & even more proud of the people who elected him. Looking beyond standardized stereotype taboos & really looking at a person's virtues & beliefs. That weighs heavy with me. I hope Taiwan gets the change & Independence it rightfully deserves.
@@danielexplosion what's more insane is the area eligible voting for him is considered a more old area with majorly elderly voters.
Songs like this is why I need to worry about my hearing in the next decade.
Awesome. Hail Chthonic.

A great band and this is my favourite Song by them. So melodic and powerful! One of the greatest concerts I've been to was ChThoniC in Flensburg, Germany on december 26th 2013. I remember it as if it was yesterday. Sadly only about 35 people were there. I actually counted, because it was possible. Anyway, great show, great music and very kind people. I bought a copy of their album Bú Tik and had it signed by all of the band members. Do shia

the best metal!! lml.

норм
I love how Chthonic use Chinese traditional instruments in their music, sets them apart from the other symphonic black metal bands like Cradle of Filth
FUCKING SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must say Freddy's vocals have improved quite a lot. Not that they ever were bad or anything.
不考慮把這故事拍成電影嗎?
er hu is a traditional Chinese instrument
only Jesse is (sorta?) Taiwanese since he is considered as Aboriginal Taiwanese, rest are decedents of Chinese from mainland China after WWII
so tell me, how are they not related to Chinese?
難怪林昶佐不會被罷免
Band is awesome, sounds awesome, but too many of their songs lyrics are about greatness of war someway or other..
+Yen Kuo that might be true, discovered band about 2 year ago. And well, not about greatness of wars but about wars , survivors of war someway or other. I'd also be happy to hear if you told what the lyrics actually mean.
+heintsi89 First I want to say sorry for being rude, and here is my understanding of this band: There was a period that Taiwanese were ruled by Japanese, and people were send to fight WWII in the name of emperor of Japan. This band wrote lots of song about this history to wake Taiwanese’s sense of national self-determination, or simply remind who we are. And the topic of this song "oceanquake", is a kind of Kamikaze boat, built with bomb and used to destroy bigger ship by hitting it. Some Taiwanese participated in these suicide missions, dead and never had chance to go back their hometown. I don’t think this band is telling us how bad Japanese was, to me it is reminding me the sadness of war and the sadness of fighting others war.
+Yen Kuo Nah it's ok, you weren't really rude either. And thank you for telling detailed information. Clarified a lot about meaning of their songs! And didn't really understand this oceanquake was about boat. Quite interesting, yet really sad thing. I will continue listen them and hopefully will see them at a gig somewhere sometime. :)
+heintsi89 this English version of lyrics was transformed, modified and a little simplified for the fittness of English.
the original Taiwanese lyrics are much more detailed ,specifically characterized and much more epic
幹 高雄的震洋神社遺址沒被保護很可惜
dude they got nothing to do with the chinese, they are from Taiwan
That would depend on your definition of Chinese. I am a US citizen, but ethnically, I am Chinese. Unless you are an aborigine, your ancestor likely came from China before or after WWII. Taiwanese celebrate holidays that originated in China. Taiwanese enjoy cuisines that contain both Chinese and Taiwanese elements. The language you speak, guo yu, is pretty much Mandarin. Even your band's name 閃靈, those are Chinese characters. It's one thing to hate the politics of mainland, many people do, but quite another to outright deny your heritage just because you hate the politics. I know Taiwanese people who insist that Taiwanese culture has nothing to do with China when all evidence points to the contrary. I also know Chinese who insist that Taiwan is part of China when Taiwan is in fact a very different country from China. I find both sides to be ridiculous in denying the obvious.
selphydeg i don't think the band denies their Chinese heritage, they are simply concerned (via their music) with Taiwanese history and identity; which are both entities separate from that of China's.
The term 'Chinese' has become synonymous to a person from Mainland China, only natural for us Taiwanese to deny that.
but mate, I am glad you acknowledge that Taiwan is a different country from China.
Just respect that CHTHONIC's members don't consider themselves as Chinese at all.
CHTHONIC 閃靈映像館 yeah the big brothers and big sister taiwanese Im sure most chinese and taiwanese can let go of ancient old fueds the revolution was pure chaos and indeed had to be very evil at times but Chinese themselves have their own battles too we all do because we are all ASIANS ♡♡♡ I LOVE YOU GUYS ALOT AND I KNOW WHEN TO BE THE BEST DAI Dí to WO DAA GUEH AND DAA JAE WO PANGYAO GAO WO HAO HAO 100% TAHMEN HAI (HAN GUA RIN - BEIJING!!!)
