There are quite a few really interesting Chinese bands.. and I mean bands really coming from China. Death Angel are from CA.. etc.. there are a lot of Japanese bands, but China has a more obscure metal scene, because of the communist state. THe bands are very underground and there are very few chinese labels, and they are really underground. Actually there are some live shows in China, but again they are kept very underground and secret. Some of the best Chinese bands are Ritual Day (awesome!), Beeline, old school death/trash like Vomit, there is another thrash band called Bloodbath, not to be confused with Swano's band... Purgatory, which are blackmetal, Rotten Corprse, decent deathmetal, they have only a demo out.. Brutal deathmetal band called Endopurecense.. also have an album out... Hades, a doom-metal band, only have songs out on various comps, there are also quite a few Powermetal bands from China. Mort Productions (cwang1978@yahoo.com ) is probably the most productive label releasing chinese metal there is.. but most of it is still really hard to come by. A good place to start is finding a copy of the Chinese metal comp that Mort Prod released called Resurrection of the Gods - Underground Attact from China. I believe there are 2 volumes of this, but i've only seen the first.

Korea, also have a good metal scene.. I wont go too in depth into that, but bands like Sad Legend, Moonshine, Oathean.. good shit..

Maybe sometime in the future I will have a special on obscure asian metal on my radio show....

Great post, Valgalder!

Have you checked the 'scenes' section near the bottom of this forum?

Please do.

I'll say this over and over: X-Japan is one of the best bands to come out of Japan. Hands down.

That;s fine and nice, but we're talking about Chinese metal...

Do you mean "really hard" as in impossible? If not, what would be a good place to start looking?

 

[Life Sucks]

I've never heard Chinese metal, but I would be interested in hearing it. I'm always interested in hearing metal from obscure countries in terms of metal.

Are the vocals for most of these Chinese bands done in English?
