[Macsk8ing]

[ThePROproject]

[Antireggaeton1]

AWESOME, CHINA RULES 

[DeathProg]

I really wish I could find these guys' material. :(

[thesimguy1905]

wow it's actually really good!:D

[Kalepherion]

Metal is the international language of freedom, rebellion, self expression and creativity. Metal incorporates and utilizes other forms of music with ease, because everyone feels their inner emotional tides surge, and metal is the perfect outlet.

[MrPragalv]

@Kalepherion yes ur right

[SuperCocofish]

Could anyone recommend a good first album for these guys. I really like their style and would like to buy some of it.

[ltq19900310]

@SuperCocofish A Dream Return To Tang Dynasty !

[TimmyRamone]

China fucking sucks. Nice band, tho.

[luisymercedes1]

@TimmyRamone you sucks ;)

[Vampiric59]

@TimmyRamone you fucking suck

[oiramromalliv22]

Global Metal documentary rocks!

[BloodDemon293846]

@oiramromalliv22

I know, right?! Sam Dunn is awesome, because he introduced me to so many cool different kinds of metal bands that I've never even heard of. Tang Dynasty, Orphaned Land... Just awesome. \m/

[crowxcrowx]

saludos desde peru!

[Denshinodai]

This is like playing for first time my Nintendo64 when im 7 yod

[frogsson]

[Rix659]

legal,não conhecia.

[Snowmanpopo]

But it's still not bad

[OPPAIEXPLORER]

cool china

[romplstomp]

interesting,  this song doesn't seem extremely metal though.

[Snowmanpopo]

@romplstomp yea man, i feel the same way, i was hoping for some serious shredding, but instead of shredding metal, it's more like shredding...bamboo? lol

[djaguitarx]

@Snowmanpopo its metal mixed with their culture, simple as that

[playbacg]

cool! saludos desde Panamá!!! muy buenos 8:::D

[GRROH]

блевота ёптваюмать)))

[Striungle]

Que buenos!!!

[EmaJack99]

fuckin' great from Italy. fuck yeah

[Tfrne]

China runs the fucking show, always. This is coming from an American, too.

[KingNurk]

Ok,here's what I think: The band is excellent,I agree that music is not a competition,Mongolians are Mongoloids,China owns the entire Asia,and soon will rule the entire world,so you all better learn Mandarin because the 1.3 billion of superior people are coming to get you.

[priukpojokan]

I Like it.........

[MultiAndi100]

REALLY BIGGEST SHIT I´VE EVER HEARD

[Kukkakukko]

I dont give a shit about what genre it is but this is nice, I like it

[baragoh]

thats one HC heavy metal band :D:D:D

[Aznflipstuh9469]

why are so many people dissing asian metal bands

[somepigsneverlearn]

@Aznflipstuh9469 Don't know, 'cause they seem pretty awesome.

[urpimp100]

are they singing in cantonese or Mandarin? it's hard to tell when you're barely learning chinese.

[fumbles40]

@urpimp100 Mando

[iktunutki]

@urpimp100 Mandarin of course :-)

[PoplovPanda]

...

...

...

..

This is some good shit, feng.

[RaamAnkka]

What! this is not heavy metal!!! thats like pop music

[fodmunkio]

@RaamAnkka Who cares what it is? It sounds nice! :-D

[kamikazestrikesback]

This is not really metal... distorted prog rock? May be.

[DragonoftheEastblu]

fuck i started banging my head from the get go of this song. my dad walked in and yelled "What the fuck are you listing to?!"

I was like "Chinese metal"

My dad doesn't believe such a thing exists. then again i'm Italian and my dad's old school from the homeland and hates american stuff XD

[morrigansue]

you are LEGENDS! refers to your COUNRTY!

[Zapilliphino22]

Chinese would be great for hard metal! and, i'm american too bad I don't know any real chinese

[Zapilliphino22]

Chinese would be great for hard metal!

[hambone9119]

im 23 man this is awesome the chinese know there shit AWESOME.

[jpz38t]

wow these guys were around early, skyclad (arguably the first folk metal band) only started in 1990

[SaWzSaW]

rofl chinese "heavy metal" band bullshit

[vanfanel150]

I don't like this, but I'm not going to press the dislike button. ^_^

This music is simply just not for me.

[PapyMandarine]

@vanfanel150 You're a faggot, get the fuck out.

[C0rvus]

@vanfanel150 That's exactly the purpose of the dislike button. It's not the "this objectively sucks button," it literally only means that you don't like what you're watching.

[ItsAllChaos]

@C0rvus no you can recognize good work but still not like it, because it just isn't your kind of stuff or whatever reason. If something sucks I dislike it, but the fact that I don't like something, doesn't mean I dislike it either, There is a lot of art that I don't like but I recognize and respect it's value.

[Vampiric59]

@vanfanel150 how the fuck did you get all those likes by just saying that

[obscurebandfan]

This is so beautiful, this band needs worldwide recognition.

[hypnogorilla]

check out ritual day , chinese black metal

[wanitek]

awww thats tender... tea anyone?

[barneymilk2k5]

Good shit, but does anyone know any canto metal? similar to tang dynasty or spring and autum

[redstormfighter29]

I swear Chinese and American metal sound the same, metal should be a langauge it self it all sounds the same lol

[wanitek]

@redstormfighter29 it is a language. we understand it dont we? and ofcourse its foreign to all those who click dislike above...

[Defenderofeyre]

@wanitek I understand ^_^ that language xD... although... not most of the time when people are singing... listening to people singing in your 3rd language tends to get confusing x.x

[Gurthick]

Well I be damned, I enjoy Chinese Soft Metal.

[LuizOtakuXD]

Nice song ^^

[unhappybasket]

like it, but the vocals are way too clean imo lol

[FUCKIHATECENSORSHIP]

@unhappybasket Perhaps, but there is such a beautiful melody to the chinese language

[TheGinethcallejas]

buenisimoo 

[AmiraAngela]

Cool. Can someone pls translate me this song? Thank you.

[maidenkid84]

wow soo amazing!

[Naveon]

finally i found a chinese band who's music has more power in it.. i got a little tired of all those 'mandopop' artist.. nice and all, but i needed something like this :3

[x0scimy0x]

This isn't bad, but it doesn't relate at all to metal, in my opinion.

[westproductions100]

Join Rock & Metal Disciples on facebook and youtube

[theevilskull]

@apelsindiablo Another mongolian pissed that China pwned his country?

[enkilakasha]

@theevilskull probably because that band kick's ass!!!

if you could mail me a website where i can buy/download songs from em directly would be very nice

[wanitek]

@theevilskull LOL&LMFAOROFL

[RafaelTovar90]

@theevilskull But before that mongolians pwned the "Midlle empire" after that the Qing pwned it self,because of their suspicousness,and backwardness.

[S0ryiu]

@RafaelTovar90 Fun fact, the mongolions were weakened after fighting Russian tribes and trying to invade Japan

[AndyRaslan]

@theevilskull China pwned all of Asia, except for the Arabs.

[Giuzaep3]

@apelsindiablo you dont fit dumbass. Music is the point, and that it´s fun to make it. Who cares about the language

[MENDELSON420]

@apelsindiablo thats your personal opinion but if you knew anything about this band you'd realize that the lead singer was heavily involed with blues music before even entering the metal scene perhaps you should be more considerate either way i think your incorrect if you think all metal should sound the same

[bobelaite]

awesome stuff

[mkds1109]

it sounds like shit to me. just my personal opinion.

[TheHimalayanGorilla]

@mkds1109 I think it might be better if the singer died

[123MetalRules]

cartman was right, they are going to take over the world.

[gkozak666]

Every time I think I've heard all the great music I could ever hear, something new and wonderful like this comese along... Fantastic! A whole new genre for me to explore!

[fuMasterOfSwords]

this is such good shit. GO CHINA

[cockynoodle]

This is brilliant! I love the blend of folk and rock/metal, because there's just no end to what you can do with it.

[westeastxybzd]

Thumbs up if you found this band through the documentary Global Metal 

[majinbuu29]

@westeastxybzd Sam Dunn knew his shit, XD fuckin rights!

[LegendaryMantis]

@westeastxybzd greatest documentary in the fuckin' world!

[Chortleclips]

/watch?v=TUd-ndHzhzM check out my tang dynasty misheard lyrics...

[bluetextonwhitebg]

Kind of unfortunate that their singer sounds exactly like Jackie Chan. That was a mind-melting guitar solo though. I think I smell blood.....

[FrederichSchulz]

OMG!! 4 Jackie Chans!!!

[szaloonawroona]

niezle :)



[TheAndieism]

Watch gobal Metal!! They Interview these guys And it dose matter where they are from for they just dont play metal as music metal is a libarater of all facts though life

@TheAndieism Tremendous documentary Global Metal, as every Sam Dunn's piece, i've just finished it.. Now I'm listening to a great band as this one =)

[ephileas]

sehr interessant :)



[nevermind260]

OMG to jest wspaniałe ! Ten głos <3  I love china ; ]

[UnforgivingCritic]

this is some good stuff. Chinese metal is something you really have to hear.

[vitunkuminauha]

Halfway trough the documentary Global metal. Cool with metal in china but the name Knight of Romantic is not very metal :D

[kevinleft]

sounds more rock than metal. But still a Great tune to listen to!

[72dew]

first metal in china

[DaAzisum]

wooow...

i never though i could like asian metal!

[canadaislive]

asian metal pwns 1#scadi metal/folk metal 2#asian metal 3# westernmetal 4#rock 5#punk

[19mrfloyd]

Round eye like. And I can understand about the same amount as I can with today's US product.

[UnforgivingCritic]

asians are the pioneers of music.

[MysticDemonKnight]

@UnforgivingCritic lol

[svetit10]

coooooooooooooooooooooooooolll­llllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllll

[greenlightone]

very excellent! thanks for sharing this one...

[Hendrixes]

kickass mate, keep rocking!!!

[lozano2111]

chinese rock sucks Rammestein all the way ya prixs

[vikingligrveldi]

Not bad, although I wouldn't call it metal. Sounds more like psychedelic Chinese folk with rock solos.

[MetalGearNaked]

@vikingligrveldi

Listen to some other songs by them, you'll see that they sound quite metal in other songs.

[simpletones1]

very good rock!

[donottawaguitar]

china check my riffs of canada speed riffs

[lordpansy18]

I "stumbled" upon these guys by lookin for more metal bands from asia, like Maximum the Hormone (not on itunes btw D:<), but i'm more of a heavy metal guy... though this is great folk metal. Very unique sound.

[kxtone]

Nice strange in away sounds. I like it.

[MasterChince]

This is pretty trippy.... and makes me wish I knew how to read or speak chinese....

[svetit10]

оригинально

[maxdexs]

shit this is a good metal band

[Slayersdf]

very good

Check out "the sun" sung by them.

[junhaodon]

wth?

[100GrandCanyon]

dude watch the movie 'global metal' these guys have a sick segment in there and the guitarist is pretty funny and grew up in new york

[waylonbloodskull666]

dude, that movie was fuckin awsome!! it showed me SOOOO many new awsome fucking bands! such as this one

[MysticDemonKnight]

yup me too!!!

[MysticDemonKnight]

global metal is one of the best documentries.

[rockrneder]

to shit flamingjon88,

who damn care about ur ｆｋ'foreigner',你个连吃屎都不配的ｓｂ　'foreigner',你懂你妈的ｂ中国摇滚。还racist­呢，你知道你妈的头呀，ｓｂ玩意，没智商的玩意，滚远点

[flamingjon88]

haha 'to shit flamingjon88' thats hilarious, i needed a laugh. i'm not going to bother translating this one, just wanted to say that if you click the reply button the person you're trying to piss off can actually see your comment. although i suppose you just wanted to try and get the last word.

[Adaywish]

@rockrneder shut up... dun use english halfway and chinese o_o wierdo

[vermelion]

i like it because it got spmething own and its does not copy western metal

[thanatos8618]

@vermelion Yeah...it REALLY is a chinese metal, not only a metal band from China. The riffs are not cliche.

[IsraeliMetalhead]

Nice nice definetley nice..

Oriental Metal is very underrated in my opinion.

[MetalGearNaked]

@IsraeliMetalhead

Indeed it is. It has potential too, and by "oriental" I don't just mean the stereotypical "oriental" countries like China etc, I mean all Asian countries. There's metal in Turkey, Israel, Japan, Korea, The United Arab Emirates, and now China. I bet it's gonna be big one day.

[IsraeliMetalhead]

Yep...

Although we already have Orphaned land who play a combination of Jewish\Arabic\spanish and in generally Oriental folk Metal who are very popular around the world..

[MetalGearNaked]

@IsraeliMetalhead

I know who Orphaned Land is, they're the shiz.

[jesterheadflame666]

why spanish? i heard some, they're quite good.

[Ruinforce]

天天骂呀骂 有意思吗

could you distinguished forein gentleman be more friendly to us? dont fu*king talk about the shitty taiwanese anymore...they are as gross as you could never imagine.

[flamingjon88]

i'm not going to be friendly to a racist fuck. obviously you are one of those deluded, misled idiots always shouting "taiwan is a part of china!!!!!11", so you are not worth arguing with.

oh and by the way, there is no such thing as a 'foreigner' on youtube, its international you fool.

people like you give the people's republic a bad name.

[mameinai]

皆さん！純粋に、音楽の素晴らしさを楽しみましょうよ！

[AEKWN]

你为什么用中文违例。你真不可耻.

[offtothekhole]

i'm from USA and this kicks ASS!!!! I need to move to China!

[dhysbvj]

No you don't. You need to have a dealer in the China region to sate all your chinese metal needs.

[IsraeliMetalhead]

Commie!!!!

LOL :P

[dhysbvj]

Or a Taiwanese. Come on man, think outside the box.

[masonrenderman]

最后再说一句，中国摇滚早就死了，这个频道貌似收集了不少地下，­但是真正牛b的没几个，基本邯郸学步，中国摇滚在某些早先地下能­上大众娱乐节目以后就死了。现在还玩的，只能说一路走好。。。。­。。。

[masonrenderman]

ps

i do not argue with a moron anymore. am i mad with u? no, u r not deserve my mad.ness.... yes u do have a OPINION! but plz do not use the word `best`,ok?

跟你交流简直浪费你大爷我的智商！

[masonrenderman]

tell me which moron wrote this ----------------the best mandarin metal isn't? chinese, it is from Taiwan and its CHTHONIC.---------------------­---? is there an ambiguity?

let me tell u why i can tell the `real fact''-----你爸你妈把你操出来你还在吃奶，你大爷我­就在北京听现场版本的地下音乐了-----let ur taiwan chick translate this for u!!!

[flamingjon88]

if only you had dared to post those as replies so i could see them. you are a strange, frustrated little man, and you have my pity.

[rockrneder]

yes i do not have right to become enraged if anyone says a band from another country like Taiwan is better.

but do u have the rights to judge which is best band of china ? do u? ask again ,who do u think u r!!!

[rockrneder]

ps

你从那个sb媒体看到的台湾是一个国家？干你md你们国家的sb­媒体！！！

[dustpetardo]

lo mas grande del rock en china, por eso me llamo la atencion y puedo decir que... es diferente pero no mala.

jeje siempre es bueno escuchar musica de otros lados. :D

[dmustainewannabe]

Does anyone know if there any good metal bands from Northwestern China (East Turkestan/Uighurstan)

[ffyouth]

there are some rock/pop bands from xinjiang, no famous metal bands there.

[VariorumDisbanded]

what are the best chinese metal bands? I'm learning chinese, and have recently been listing to chinese pop, not because it is good(because it is pop, after all) but because its in chinese.

I'm a metalhead. I live for thrash, and, tell you the truth, the sheer number of Chinese Jonas brothers out there is really starting to get to me. I need some good, hard, mandarin metal to headbang to, because if I have to listen to any more 飞轮海, my head is going to implode.

[ffyouth]

lol. you learn chinese by listening this kind of shit?!! xDDDDD!!!!!

[feardom13]

I'm into Tang Dynasty and Ritual Day (Black Metal)

[flamingjon88]

the best mandarin metal isn't chinese, it is from Taiwan and its CHTHONIC. brilliant erhu playing and brutal Black Metal. from the prc itself you have Frosty Eve and Ritual Day. all can be found on YT, enjoy!

[rendermaninblack]

放屁，你说的那台湾的玩意有什么中国的特色？整个西方sb的co­py，没灵魂的东西。唐朝！中国迄今为止最具有中国特色的乐队，­最好的，仅限第一张专辑！

[rendermaninblack]

fk all sb 的balck metal shits fans！！！

[flamingjon88]

simply having chinese characteristics does not necessarily make a good band, but thanks for your feedback.

[rockrneder]

who tell u that ur standard as the only standard for a best chinese

band! who do u think u r?

音乐的本质是什么？是你的文化背景，玩的都不是你自己文化的东西­，玩的形式上

再好有个屁用，根本不能代表中国音乐！

[rockrneder]

唐朝第一张为什么这么多年没人超越？背

后的文化根源岂能是台湾sb文化能比拟的！那不是简单的中国元素­，那是中华文化

的升华！摇滚的本质！别整天跟sb国外黑金fans一样。没点思­想和内涵!

[flamingjon88]

Tang Dynasty make good music, but despite them sounding 'more chinese' they are not as good as Chthonic in my opinion. I like Chthonic's music, and I love learning about Taiwanese culture. I am not trying to force my opinion on you, so I don't understand why you have become so hysterical. just because you are chinese it does not mean you own chinese music. and you do not have the right to become enraged if anyone says a band from another country like Taiwan is better. chill out.

[rockrneder]

just like what u said, u just like Chthonic's music.how could u make a decision for the best band of china?

this is public internet, if u make any words(meantime u did not know anything about it.) ,first clear ur logic, then write down what ever u like. ortherwise ,people who know the real fact would think u r a idiot! understood?

[flamingjon88]

i dont know why i have ended up arguing with you. tell me, why exactly is it that you are the only person who knows the 'real fact'? so you know what the best band in china is do you? are you the president of chinese music? or just an angry youtube user? there are such things called OPINIONS. everyone has one, and they are all different, and you have to tolerate them even if you don't like them. i didnt say anything about best band from anywhere. read my comments properly before getting upset.

[tang605]

Here are the problems. Tang Dynasty plays prog-rock based heavy metal. Chthonic plays extreme metal (as they are more than just black metal). It's like you're comparing an apple with an orange. Who cares about where the bands are from, or which band is better? Music is not a competition.

[benlorenc]

but if it was, rush would win.

[BlindIllusionRules]

@tang605 My music theory teacher likes to put on his best Hungarian accent and quote Bartok:"Competition is for horses".

[winkerweezel]

@tang605 You are right. Music is not a competition and life shouldn't be either. It is just that the world wants you to think that way.

[andfeg]

@tang605 it's always nice to see people who actually thinks! "Music is not a competition!" Cheers!

[calcal10]

try ritual day

[jaketheman091]

@VariorumDisbanded if youre in to glam metal or hard rock, check out Chinese glam metal bands like Black Panther, the Compass, the Breathing or Again. They were part of the 80s glam scene in China. They are well worth checking out, with some damn good riffage. If you want to learn more, Message me here and I'll send you some albums.

[Deathination666]

yeah global metal is great - thx Sam Dunn!

and greetings to all the metalheads out there in this fucking world!

cheers & beers from germany
