[HikoTeam]

i love it <3

[j0ani]

Now i feel home even in taiwan!! :D

awesomE!

[lebocharp]

Vocals sure sound like early Ihshan!

[linkus666]

these guys kick some serious ass on stage!

[Bassimastprime]

Great little song.

[Vampmonkey616]

They are pretty good....not as good as the stuff from norway however. I did think it was strange that a band from taiwan would be black metal as black metal is supposed to be against the submissive routes of christianity which would of course be more of a european thing but they are good.

[OneWinged456]

Guys, they AREN'T BLACK METAL. They've established that themselves. So stop making those comparisons.

Extreme Symphonic Metal.

[Vampmonkey616]

Yeah but I personally think there are too many subgenres. This falls closy to black metal. You already have death metal, black metal, prog metal, nu metal, thrash metal, heavy metal and rap metal. Off the top of my head. The last thing I wanna hear about is "Extreme syphonic metal". Wtf!?

[OneWinged456]

Thing is, that's why its all subjective; it doesn't fall ANYWHERE near close to black metal(imo). Black Metal is ugly, uncompromising, un-technical.

Extreme is a placeholder for a word that isn't there. Hell, they MAKE a new subgenre because they break the norm due to being from China, thus, in any case, in status quo, I'd place them closer to FOLK metal than anything, due to their use of oriental instruments and melodies.

[OneWinged456]

Extreme is a general term*

*that sentence didn't even make any sense -_- *

And also, since they AREN'T against religion or for rebellion *excluding one song* wouldn't that totally defeat the notion of them being black metal?

[OneWinged456]

*Oh, and just to clarify, this IS all my opinion, just trying to garner discussion. :P *

[Vampmonkey616]

Fair enough. Everyone has their own opinion.

And I forgot "Doom metal" in my previous comment. :p

[DirEnGay]

They're from Taiwan which I guess you can argue is China, but technically it isn't.

Also I don't think there's much problem with associating sub-category genres with a basic sounding genre. If you're to argue this is DEFINATELY black metal then I see your point but say I spoke about these to a relatively clueless person I would probably refer to them as black metal or at least black-ish metal.

Anyway I totally agree on the symphonic part, any band that has orchestral deserves the epic title.

[BringingYouTruth]

Yes, I'd have to agree with you on it possibly being considered Folk Metal. In an interview, they actually said their songs are mostly about old, sad, Taiwanise legends or stories or something to that effect and there was actually a refrence to Folk Metal in there. Though they couldn't quite be Doom Metal.

There is an actual Sub Genre of Folk metal called Oriental Metal... so perhaps that's what they fall under? Though you cannot deny the strong Black Metal influence in their music.

[BestSinner]

Black metal IS not anti christian or whatever, is about be yourself and to be auto critic. Black metal is like a kind of transmition of fellings in the music, in order to create some moods very special. That's why they're right to use folk instruments so as to create that emotions, this is the symphonic black metal, well known ... I think you don't play music to say that black metal is uncompromising and untechnical.

[fuckslipknot21]

there are far far far more genres than the ones you mentioned!

:|

[Vampmonkey616]

I know. But I'm far too lazy.

[goatshredder]

Invert all that is upright in the name of Taiwan!

[whitec100]

ok guys, thats SYMPHONIC black metal. A lot more commercial than true black metal sorry.

[JLYoko]

i love this one even though it's so short!

[ichvampyr]

[noOooOb88]

doro <3

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Hail Chthonic.

[JoannieBear]

this is like an orgasm. i love it.

[darkdragon32]

o.O

holy shit. I think I just died when I heard this. It seems like I've been sent to a badass heaven. Now I could use this for my training and stuff. This is just freaking awesome.

[Cobrena]

They were in Holland!! In Leeuwarden, it was fantastic to see them!!

[alparkss]

I met the band in London last week. Doris and Jesse were fun to hang out with. They each gave a guitar pick to me plus Doris got a poster signed by the band. I also ate at the same diner down the street. CHTHONIC rules!!

[skylerdiotte]

ya kornlad i was there too but unlike you i got all there auotgraphs when u only got one ha ha

[kornlad]

got thier authgraphs last night at a cradle of filth concert :)

[bigwhiteyeti]

I think perhaps this is more the sound that Cradle of Filth should have pursued on Thornography... that album was a bit of a letdown. Still good though.

[vampiregrind]

Currently this is my fav band. I like Doris!!

[bigwhiteyeti]

Wow. I AM buying this album, it's a physical fact now.

I love the little choral-like bit at 00:29 particularly.

[vandetta9999]

The chick is hot - no doubt. They look a little too glam for my taste though. And I think the keyboards are too loud in the mix and a little too classical for the sake of being classical

[lookralphsbak]

its symphonic/melodic black metal... whatchya expect? its heavily influenced by classical music

[JudderMan25]

Exactly. Anyway I love the classical elements, it's a great contrast to the screeching lyrics and guitars.

[ku523mu]

i'm a Seediq ...but didn't know anything about him before

[OneWinged456]

Well... Enthrone is entirely in Mandarin. MOST of Seediq Bale's lyrics were translated in english while the rest was left in mandarin... like the whole second half of Quasi Putrefaction is in mandarin, which is probably why you don't understand... if you guys want the lyrics, metal-archives has them.

[st333]

their bassist is ridiculously hott!

[slayer6464]

u damn skippy she is.

[st333]

I met her! haha! She touched my waist...*drool*

[slayer6464]

luckey. i met her and got an autograph but i didnt get to touch her :{

[st333]

you got ripped off, like mad!!!

[raevaness]

i LOVE this band even though i can't understand a d@mn word they are saying!! LMAO! THEY ROCK!

[sawtan]

Yea i don't hear a fvcking word their saying either ;D just in Quasi putrefiction i hear something abou hunting for tears :P but thats all

[SicSeb]

Great Album, Kickass Song! And yes, Doris is hot!

[Cobranaconda]

Enthrone is one of the coolest songs on the album. And I like how every second picture is of Doris :P

[eon14873]

she is pretty hot eh. unlike disgusting shallow bimbos like paris hilton etc

[Cobranaconda]

Yeah, though she does seem to get rather a lot more exposure than the rest of the band, which is quite unfair also.

[sawtan]

who cares ;P girls in metal bands are little more rare and she looks hawt. So if u check every band with a female in the group they takes more pictures of her ofc if she looks good

[KMFCM]

yeah. . . .that's how it goes.

that's why the way to know if a chick is REALLY all about the metal, is if she plays drums (we can't see your body behind a drum set).

[mxr06]

they look like a nice clean cut band that you could take home to meet your mum dont they? lol

[sawtan]

yes of course ;D doris is sexy. ^^ i love this song, would be better if it was longer thought :/
