Asian Melodeath...

[drkluscious]

Anyone heard of the bands Holymarsh or Intestine Baalism? Any big Kalmah fan is sure to love these two. Holymarsh is from S. Korea and I beleive Intestine is from Japan. Their albums are a bit hard to find, so email or IM me if you want to get a hold of them.

yea heard of both. Intestine's second album rules...first one isn't bad as well, just more brutal.

If you wanna try a Japanese melodeath, go for Blood Stain Child.

 

[Kirurgisti]

So...any place to download clips from their songs?

 

[Infernium]

Interesting. I'm yet to find a good melodeath band that is not from Finland or Sweden. Gonna give it a try.

Check out Blood Stain Child, good melo death from Japan i think

 

[Vital Remains]

i would hesitate to listen to asian metal. After seeing the old asian 80's metal bands the idea of it freaks me out. is it good stuff?

IM or E-mail me and Ill send a couple songs. Don't worry, apparently Asians learned from their mistakes in the 80's because these two bands are fuckin' killer.

I would advise staying away from the newest Blood Stain Child unless you like Reroute era In Flames, it sucks. The first two albums are great. Good bands from Asia = Dark Ambition, Holymarsh, Sorrow of Tranquility, Blood Stain Child, Shadow, a few others I can't think of. Sorrow of Tranquility kick some serious ass though.

i dont think the new Blood Stain child was that bad. And i actually thought they kinda improved in a different way. I just think their first 2 album is too much of a skyfire/children of bodom clone, and this new 3rd album Idolator is moving more toward their own sound mixing more electronics (techno) stuff. Sounds more like mix of Dark Tranquillity/In Flames + Children of bodom.
