[Maarkaald]

Picked up the album on a whim as I remembered hearing a song somewhere and thinking it was cool. Was not disappointed.

[belodeathcore666]

Awesome Song!! cant wait for Hammersonicfest in Jakarta!!

[MaykuMetal]

:O  Holy shit , this band is amazing

[satanclaus6661]

Do not you think it's a bit like Dimmu Borgir?

[Michiru7690]

@satanclaus6661 They're better than Dimmu Burger

[CreeTar]

[pburger100]

Another worthy inclusion on The Metal Critic's best of 2011

尤其副歌聽起來很振奮人心~~

感覺很爽



[narutofreak12312312]

European Pagan Metal, North/South American ancient pagan metal and now finally : Samurai Metal ! Hell fuckin yeeeah !

[Deathfromabove209]

@narutofreak12312312 Samurai are from Japan. Chthonic is Taiwanese.

[astreocclu]

@narutofreak12312312 lol they are taiwaneese, this song is about the tragedy of fighting war with japan

[gabyluchi1]

[sss910069]

[Colton527]

I liked chthonic's past albums but this is a fucking masterpiece!

[y1787165]

[psyoptica]

This was a pleasant surprise. I had always been a bit underwhelmed with Chthonic in the past but this is amazing.

@preto69bombas In the taiwanese version video I asked 3 weeks ago when they were coming here. Someone must have read my mind ;) @Chthonic I'm looking forward to see you guys playing here, Vagos is about 10km from here... :D

[lexus0000000]

第一次聽METAL有想落淚的感動

[gn20030523]

我想說這真的很難唱

[jkeener1971]

Bad Ass!!!

[JL3Wind]

this is bloody awesome!

[jimmy19960625]

怪了

明明聽起來是雙踏

可是MV只有單鼓

哈哈  !!!我喜歡

[K01020301]

@jimmy19960625 雙踏是用單鼓沒錯......

[jimmy19960625]

@K01020301 之前有看到閃靈鼓手一次踩兩個說

[MrBlankish]

i saw these live on on the 6th december 2011 and stood next to Freddy Lim

[johny5555ify]

我以前耳朵一定裝屎才會覺得這很吵

根本超屌!fuck'n nice song!!

只能說有這種神團我們台灣人自己卻不聽

what a pitty

[jack31335]

@johny5555ify 這首根本經典!!!!

[iHELP]

台語好好聽~!!!!!

[OceansLost]

I love you Chthonic, you have done so much for me, Thank you for your friendship and big thanks to Jesse also taking time to hang out with me so much respect.

[DivaDarkie]

Is this video classy or what? Awesome song =).

[TheEternalAgony1]

CHTHONIC RULES FOREVER <3

[TheEternalAgony1]

BETTER THAN SLIPKNOT

[MaDmatty180360540]

what language do you speak I can hear english but i'm not sure

[Davemackintoshforce]

@MaDmatty180360540 I'd imagine it's Taiwanese when they're not singing in English.

[nikolakistdglover]

@MaDmatty180360540 i think taiwanese but i'm not sure

[DarkValor666]

That chick on the bass is a babe.

[despaversailles]

Wooooow..... I've never thought I can love a band like I love Dir en Grey, but this band is amazing O.O

[genszombiebff]

@despaversailles this is much different from dir en grey dude.... I';m just saying.

[sylburn22]

I saw you in Vannes , little britany , thanks a lot!!!!

[XxScarlettLegacyxX]

LOL <3

[TheRedGynger]

Saw them in late September with Arch Enemy. I was DYING to see them live and they tore it up! I wish they were right before headline because they were better than both Devildriver AND Skeletonwitch.. I am VERY satisfied with their new album and I can't help but to headbang the shit out of this track! :)

[DanteTrishVergil]

i don't get the ending,is it,when he was young? or a new army?

[affter3333]

why isn't this song in the official site:

/watch?v=O1VroHb10gQ

this is one cool song by CHTHONIC

[chthonictw]

@affter3333 actually, there is /watch?v=ibnR4taImDk

[affter3333]

@chthonictw

the link i mentioned /watch?v=O1VroHb10gQ has much better video/audio quality.

it's strange that official site only provides an inferior version..

[Vampiric59]

@chthonictw could you guys tell me the meaning of this song? :D i dont understand it completely 

[archenemies32]

Taiwanese version sounds better in my opinion

[MrDoggy78]

This is unbelievable. I must have this album.

[jafroman887]

So, what does the chorus mean?

I've watched Chthonic many times live and sung this with them, but never known the meaning behind the words.

[LambOfGod4Life888]

Does Takao mean Japanese Army or the older name of Kaohsiung City? 

[EugenAchtzehn]

@LambOfGod4Life888 it's the old name of Kaohsiung, which was named by Taiwanese aboriginal people.

[jafroman887]

@LambOfGod4Life888 I think it's referring to the place.. The army was called Takasago

[andy5566r]

就算不說唱腔

節奏和旋律也是很震撼很好聽

[bara902]

mantap gan

:D

[hutzahutzahutza]

cant wait to see u guys on sunday :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD wwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

[thatlazyslacker]

This is my first time listening to growls in a non-Eurpoean language... and it's still friggin sweet!

[AnataNile]

@thatlazyslacker He's speaking English

[thatlazyslacker]

@AnataNile Ooops... well, half way through the song I don't understand what he's singing

[dave510062]

@zyklonb11 為什麼我要聽5566?我沒聽他們的歌說.......

[TheMornom]

閃靈能出一首全台語版 ? 喔，高砂軍 !!!! 全台語版喔，高砂軍 不要用...

[chthonictw]

@TheMornom 有啊，在台灣買到的高砂軍專輯，裡面每一首都是全台語版的啊。

[poisonedheart666]

Imagery from 3:23-3:33 is incredible.

[stormcorrosion]

Damn, Doris is fucking gorgeous!

[thoriscool123]

HEHE Asians is good at making folk metal

[AlRHORN]

竖起大拇指如果你可以看到这一点

[tweekspoop]

I had my photo with the guitarist and female bassist =]

[RIHCross666]

great song from asia \m/

[thaowl1]

Awesome shit!! From a big fan from Sweden!

[darksider211]

i dont understand why that guy got a hole in his head?

[sglasspool]

@darksider211 I THINK I read somewhere that there's a particular aboriginal group in Taiwan that used to mark their forheads like that. The Japanese had banned it during the war (when they were recruiting soliders from Taiwan).

[EntilMattt1990]

@sglasspool I think that those were the Seediq people.

[robert99902]

ching chow pow

[DeathMagnetic2010]

Saw these guys live and met them all Five of them are incredibly friendly and funny

[poisonedheart666]

Most powerful video/song I've ever seen/heard.

[poisonedheart666]

2:38-2:45 is fucking wicked

[herrchrist]

1:50 :D

[ahpamm13]

I'm happy i'm asian :)

[king198895]

我能想像出我祖父當年英勇出征的樣子了，光榮!!

[geishaXkillen]

they are absolutely amazing! they are brilliant live and they are amazing people.. definitely one of my favourite bands of all time!

[jaja891110]

one word... WOOOAAAAHHHHH~~!!!!!!!! *A*

[huhhan217]

以前我覺得好吵又聽不懂

現在我懂了才知道那有多無知

根本台灣神團...

[p124127]

@huhhan217

以前我也覺得好吵又聽不懂

現在林盃他媽的愛聽這種歌

每次聽都濕掉高潮

[dshubble]

Great set last night in Southampton - yay!

[MrMetalboy23]

Saw Cthonic in Cardiff last Saturday 12th November, those guys were awsome, wicked set, good to meet the band, come back to Wales UK soon, new album is Awsome too! Doris give that bass no mercy!

[cowplantman1996]

Saw them last night at Sub89 with Turisas and Kuias, they were fucking awesome! And got to talk to Doris and Jesse!

[Myfeethurtz]

[ImAViking97]

@Myfeethurtz Doris Yeh. 

[luka3005]

These guys were amazing in Corp (Sheffield) on Thursday. Can't wait to see 'em again soon!

[SuperstarX]

[JPRoberts19]

Yo Pointer

They were great last night :)

[jamespointer1]

going to see you tonight with Turisas :) see you in 6hours!!!

[Spenktastic]

@jamespointer1 hey james ;)

[1justinbrown]

this some of the best metal i've heard in a wow. this shit is a bow to Dio and even sabath at moments! very heavy riffing, love the asian instrumentation and orchestrial balance between organic and triple rectifier sound! the video is fucking very well done, the msg easily translates to ppl who cant understand the lyrics.

[13LinkinPark666]

holy shit this is epic xD

[Bananaphonekun]

Awesome. I came.

[Frellyouall]

Can't wait to see them on Saturday

[WeeblBull]

Saw them live last night with Turisas. met Doris and Freddy after. Absolutely incredible live, and genuinely nice people. Fantastic band.

Oh and Doris is so hot.

[simmo2236]

@WeeblBull Me too! Doris is an absolute angel!

[KonradFlash]

@WeeblBull Same here! Genuinely nice, and just so awesome. I even managed to meet Jesse, Dani and CJ, getting their CD signed by them all.

I got lucky though, because I originally missed Dani and CJ but Doris went back and got them for me. It was like a dream I never wanted to wake up from!

They are indeed incredible live and am looking forward to seeing them again!

[WeeblBull]

Saw them with Turisas last night, met Doris and Freddy afterwards. Fantastic live, and genuinly nice people. Just an awesome band full stop.

Oh and Doris is so, so hot.

[CoolNASCARGuy]

Am I the only one who thinks the vocalist occasionally sounds like and asian Chuck Schuldiner in this song?

[arronvify]

doris yeh is soooo fit

[Rattlehe4d]

Unlimited Freedom, Unlimited Taiwan !

[super1990ab]

哈哈哈哈哈台语金属，还有这样的啊

[rolipolirocks]

AWSOME !

[jasontns]

super track uber video :) :) hail from greece :)

[666sinthetic]

the bassist is soooo sexy.

[TaiwaneseBoi]

PROUD TO BE TAIWANESE!

[asgore]

omg, Chtonic is beaultifull

[dokviper]

Bass♥

[LambOfGod4Life888]

which amp does the guitarist use? Is the same one in this vid or its different one for both recording session and live? Thanks.

[HeadacheVillain]

I just read about this band in my Metal Hammer magazine...their not bad. Pretty good actually.

[MrRomulorp]

This band is awesome!! please come to Brazil!! I'd love to see you in the city of Curitba!!

[Metalmoshking666]

Great, i know this band for some time, kinda failed to keep an eye on them,,, hails man \m/, check out anthelion aswell \m/

[larcengreyandx]

これはホントにいいバンドだと思う。

下の方と同様日本から応援しています！！

[gayx2]

Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!­!!

[VCLove15]

能的話我希望閃靈能出一首全台語版，而且不要用重金屬的腔調，搭­配這感動人的副歌，我相信一定能攻下台灣樂壇

[chthonictw]

@VCLove15 閃靈的專輯都有全台語版喔，高砂軍這張專輯也不例外！

[CWZTW]

@VCLove15 台語版早就有啦！你沒看到右邊的相關連結裡有台語版嗎？但是人家­就是重金屬樂團，你叫人家不要用重金屬唱腔？

[yr9626]

@VCLove15 不然宜蘭the wall表演的不差電版的也行...科 = =

[DXHBKRKOY2J]

@VCLove15 請你給我一個好的理由 為什麼閃靈得放棄重金屬 放棄他們的理念 來攻下台灣樂壇?...

[jay19895030]

@VCLove15 我倒覺得這首歌就是要用重金屬的腔調，才能表現出那種糾結的心情­，用其他腔調感覺就像聽台語版的 "男人KTV"  真的有說不出的怪

[metalkidz123456]

@VCLove15 你叫一隊死亡金屬樂隊不用金屬腔唱? 等於叫你刷牙不要用牙刷一樣

[K01020301]

@VCLove15 那閃靈就不像閃靈了..



[K01020301]

@VCLove15 不用重金腔那閃靈就不是閃靈了...

[James851013]

@VCLove15 不....還是繼續在國外發展吧 我覺得台灣音樂界沒啥救了

[ravenwei0117]

@VCLove15

想說的應該是不要用黑死腔唱這首吧?

不過這樣就不是閃靈的特色了說...

[ravenwei0117]

@VCLove15

想說的應該是不要用黑死腔唱這首吧?

不過這樣就不是閃靈的特色了說...

[whwang93124]

@VCLove15 不是重金屬就不好聽了啊

[whwang93124]

@VCLove15 不是重金屬就不好聽了啊

[a3838232]

台灣Metal的水準令人驚豔的一幕，完全不輸其他國家。

[kz1000jp]

Sadly, if a japanese band released records like this. it'll be banned by ourself. moreover, korea and china must belabor ''this is the awful militarism'' with forgetting their fault as of now. 30th of people who live in tokyo are chinese and korean increasing to invade silently(韓流). we lost what Bushido is but we'll catch it up from Taiwan in the future. it'll be a new concept of Bushido and Japanese mind. So, now on, this music is mixing up Takasago and Japanese mind. 加油台湾！永遠台日友好！　

[shinja8639]

amazing. come on japan rock fes!

[WuBingWay]

@LotusInTheSnow Keep your mouth shut and concentrate on this video you mother fucking CHINKASS

[oneokrock1117]

すごくいい!!

日本から応援してます

[MrBlacklorre]

Taka HO!

[Tillman]

This makes it the 5th band Ive seen that has my ESP Horizon in it, awesome...

[DoomSiren]

@chthonictw Ain't mean isn't correct english btw lol it Doesn't mean would be a more correct use.

[sahd0w]

Holy crap.. I just stumbled upon this band randomly. They're freaking amazing. I'm a huge fan of CoF and this is just what I needed to hear.

[obiwanda]

Some random parts of this randomly remind me of Mercyful Fate. Anyone else?

[inght1]

good

[Zax557]

3:43 O.O Where can I get such mask?

[squishyfaceguy]

@Zax557 i think they have their stuff custom made.

[WuBingWay]

@smkyy Hey dude you're so fucking annoying and boring. You can get the fcuking out of here rather than barking constantly like a dog.

[lordofutub]

so could this be considered black taiwanese folk metal?

[tohsmir]

@lordofutub so could anyone care less? Just call it awesome music! ;)

[Duchess13Hex]

Love!
