Chthonic - Blooming Blades

[Bonki130]

I like the 4 extra minutes.

[missheavymetal1]

Anybody who tells you that metal from Asia is dead, you need only say one word:CHTHONIC

[gsp1175]

@missheavymetal1 There are plenty of good Asian metal bands. Intestine Baalism, X Japan, Chthonic, etc.

[MasterExploder61]

@missheavymetal1 What are you talking about? Metal hasn't changed output in Asia since the 80s.If anything, it has increased.

[Kothliim]

Saw these guys at Sokol Underground in Omaha, NE last Sunday. Got 'em to sign my wallet. Doris is adorable when in normal clothing, and the other members are badass.

[asphodel2932]

I HATE, HATTTEEE the english version of this song. Why can't anybody upload the Taiwanese version? Also, does Doris overlay the Ehru at any point?

[h4unt3dfx]

@asphodel2932 Because the album they released on Spinefarm was in English. Taiwan has the one you want so.... buy the album from Taiwan?

[phantombadger]

Dislike for the 5 min of silence. other than that the songs great.

[CinemaBizarreShinya]

@TheMaskedGoth Bad cut... however, the song is great and the qualitiy, too. Thanks for this upload, man =3

[JTelli786]

why is it that i cant go one metal song without hearing about Dimmu Borgir or cradle of filth?

[TheMaskedGoth]

it finished at 4:40 so why is it just over nine min long???

[xenoblad]

@TheMaskedGoth if I had to guess, some people are inclined to click on songs with longer durations in hope of it being a longer version of the song that didn't have something cut off.

EIther way, the song is great, the drumming is on crack(this is a compliment).

[beermandan420]

I love this band.

[philold09]

wow i got the name of this band by accident....best accident i've had since i was born...and that was an accident too

[nexo45]

FUCKING AMAZING

[FinallyEditing]

FOR THE GLORY OF THE OLD ONES I CLICK THE LIKE BUTTON.

[ZetsubouYami]

OK im going to make this clear one more time, Chthonic sounds nothing like Cradle of Filth, not even vocal wise. Man there not even under the same genre, mind u Cradle of Filth did black metal in early days, but then they went on & started doing Gothic metal, & Chthonic is no where near gothic. Hell Cradle of Filth isnt even gothic anymore there just.... well they suck now, dont ever say Chthonic & Cradle of Filth sound the same, cause they dont... at all, u think otherwise PM me then. -_-

[CockurgitateR]

good

[aSneakyTeapot]

They fucking suck live. Just thought i'd throw that out there.

[0verlord1841]

@aSneakyTeapot

disagree. Just saw them with Turisas and they were great.

[Darkromani]

God forbid anyone stop

Whining and enjoy the fucking song

[sunhasfade]

i dont get you people, never in my life have i left a comment about how some band sucks or if its not real metal or whatever, instead i just move along to something i do like (like chthonic) and maybe leave a comment there to express the love for the band. if you say for a band that its lame, and i say that its cool, it doesent prove anything, but if you take the time to talk crap about something you dont like it does prove youre an asshole. Hail from Serbia \m/

[treatt22]

@sunhasfade simple as that cause its not "white" metal so sum racist fukd like to judge us., but we dnt give a fuk :)

[MrWilhelml0l]

I am a random guy, and i approve this song



[daedemona3]

\m/



[CoherentCarpet]

Well it sure looks like some people need to go scream into a pillow

[pinkbubblesnake]

THE ARGUMENTS ARE STUPID, Either listen to the music or GTFO dont clog up the comments!

[IzzualYamakawa]

I saw them in concert a few years ago and there was only about 15 people there, I got to meet the whole band and got a signed cd :D

[PlaneteFondante]

The guitare sounds so good.

[BXMetalsCo]

i got an eargasm

[Sleyt707]

whoa sic

[IfYouReplyYouFail]

the whole time i thought Doris was the lead guitarist so i kept getting boners after hearing those guitar screams especially the ones at 3:04 ! man why does she have to be bass!

[ADeadlierSnake]

God, this is so epic. The mixture of genres is so weird, but its amazing. I dont even know what to classify these guys as. They arent just black metal. Hell, i dont even know if melodic black fits these guys perfectly

[PsychoticGeek23]

@ADeadlierSnake Maybe folk metal? They remind me of Waylander(Celtic metal band), but Oriental rather than Irish. Whatever they are, I'm in lurrrrvvv. 8D

[PlaneteFondante]

@PsychoticGeek23 Uhhh, I think they're more close of Black Metal Symphonic than Folk ;)

[MrRip1997]

@PlaneteFondante They are Symphonic Black Metallers but they try to add some chinese music in their songs. The other guy who said that they are like Waylander isn't so good at recognising metal ;p

[ZetsubouYami]

@MrRip1997 i like ur attitude & all... but u got one thing wrong in ur speeches, not chinese music... taiwanese yes there instrument is from china, but they use it in there own taiwanese styleplus they are big time folloers of taiwanese rights & they sing about there countrys past with myths & legends from hell :3

[MrRip1997]

@ZetsubouYami I knew that. The singer supports Taiwan's independence

[ZetsubouYami]

@PsychoticGeek23 .... can i slap u for even saying folk metal? did u hear a bag pipe anywhere in this song.... wat about a flute...... no.

[PsychoticGeek23]

@ZetsubouYami No, but I did hear an erhu.

Guess what, more than one region has folk music. It's not all Celtic.

And if you're going to be hostile and rude, I suggest you work on your spelling. ;)

[ZetsubouYami]

@PsychoticGeek23 umad bro? like a taiwanese band would ever be folk, so ur statement was a fail as well as ur fail troll "spelling" statement. ur an idiot

[PsychoticGeek23]

@ZetsubouYami I'm the idiot? My dear sir, I was not trolling with my spelling statement, merely stating a fact. :)

[ZetsubouYami]

@PsychoticGeek23 do u talk like a wanna be in real life too?

[PsychoticGeek23]

@ZetsubouYami A wannabe? What ever do you mean? I do in fact have a tendency to talk like this. No wanting-to-be to be seen here. ;)

[MrRip1997]

@PsychoticGeek23 And you are deaf. Now fart

[ZetsubouYami]

@MrRip1997 he did say he herd an erhu.... hes just a fail troll

[Actueel68]

Damn I love this band.. their music makes me want to punch a nun!

[l3v1at10n666]

i didnt say they did cof arnt even strictly black metal they are gothic metalthe creation of norsk arisk black metal (yes they were racists) was mayhem and count grishnackh and burzum, and a host of death metal bands who changed there style to fit black metal, but its roots lay in bands like venom and mercyful fate thisis NOT black metal its gothic metal LIKE cof, or Evenfall (look this band up if u like this), the style is years old its nothing new, just recycled sound not original BORING

[kurokaze89]

@l3v1at10n666

Chthonic is gothic metal? Since when?

[Sjamsucks]

@kurokaze89 This isn't black metal, gothic metal is what they sound like, aka pure shit for posers.

[MrRip1997]

@Sjamsucks THIS IS GOTHIC METAL??? Are you fucking insane? Are you 6 years old? Gothic Metal doesn't even have screamos you moron. It is Symphonic Black Metal (put your last words in your ass)

[Sjamsucks]

@MrRip1997 No, emperor was symphonic black metal. this is shitty kindergarten gothic metal for posers and "dark people" alike. Ha, pure shit for fags. And I'm 19 you clown, metal is my life, it's what i live for, i dont listen to it to try and be different like so many faggots i went to school with did. When you figure out what actual metal music is, reply here, until then, ponder to yourself about how much of a poser you really are.

[ZetsubouYami]

@Sjamsucks gosh ur an idiot..... gothic metal was cradle of filth back in the old days, this is black metal with an oriental twist that instrument they use is from fucking china... so how can that be gothic, moron.. & fyi venom wasnt considered thrash but death.........

[MrRip1997]

@ZetsubouYami You got it right.

[Sjamsucks]

@ZetsubouYami Venom was NEVER considered death metal you faggot fuck. go pose somewhere else.

[ZetsubouYami]

@Sjamsucks how about u fucking do some reserch..."metal is my life" yea if u mean gay ass korn venom is a English heavy metal, and Black Metal, influence by thrash metal & extreme metal .... all together lading up to dath metal...... pwned

[Sjamsucks]

@ZetsubouYami Korn sucks fag. Venom was around before all the other thrash bands, i/e metallica megadeth slayer sodom destruction. They influenced all of the thrash bands who came after them, there is nothing black metal about them, except for the name of the album, and the song. Black metal was also used to describe destruction an sodoms music, but they were still thrash. You really have no clue what you are talking about, and are the biggest poser.

[ZetsubouYami]

@Sjamsucks says the little boy that got buttfucked by his mother...

[Sjamsucks]

@ZetsubouYami Real mature, you just prove my point that this music is for immature people who are attracted to music with people who paint ridiculous shit all over their faces. Notice how none of the black metal bands from the late 80's and early 90's wear that shit anymore? it's because they realized it looks stupid. And an Asian black metal band really has no purpose in wearing corpse paint because the norse band did it to look like creatures from norse mythology. Figure it out kid.

[ZetsubouYami]

@Sjamsucks & u just proved that u know jack shit about this band, they sing about there countrys past with a mix of myths & legends from hell, unlike venom they just sing about whatever with no purpose at all... lol i bet u just say u like venom cause its old school & ur one of those fags that dont getinto the newer metal styles cause all ur buddies are like hey its new so we should hate it, & that only makes u a fucking retard & a stupid troll,fucking anal bride has nothing better to do, nolife

[Blacksmith676]

@ZetsubouYami After reading your comment I want to make a Brutal Death Metal band called Anal Bride. Thanks for giving me the idea. +1

[ZetsubouYami]

@Blacksmith676 >>>XXXDDD

[annefrankisaho]

@Sjamsucks

"...the norse band did it to look like creatures from norse mythology."

[citation needed]

They did it to rip off Sarcofago and Mercyful Fate, who were doing the Alice Cooper/Kiss thing. Seems like you're the one who needs to figure it out.

[PeasantofMercia]

@Sjamsucks Your calling the people that like this immature, when your the one spending your time moaning on youtube...

[lileekill]

@PeasantofMercia but aren't you also doing the same thing ? spending your time moaning on youtube ?

[PeasantofMercia]

@lileekill what did i say that you class as moaning?

[lileekill]

@PeasantofMercia well complaining about someone else's complaining is still complaining :P

[PeasantofMercia]

@lileekill there is a difference between complaining and identifying something.

[ZetsubouYami]

@Sjamsucks & ill say it again since ur thick headed ass skull is still fucking ur sisteres asshole & can seen to undertsand me... this is far from gothic metal, & that shit u said this is for dark ppl.... wtf u think venom is u retarded anal bride, thats for sp called dark ppl to if u wanna be like that, stupid troll is a stupid troll... & failing at it too

[Sjamsucks]

@ZetsubouYami Venom isn't for dark people, Venom is a thrash metal band for thrashers, not goth faggots and pretend metal heads like yourself, now go pose. And where did the incest comments come from? You're insults are the same as everyone else's on youtube, boring, and unoriginal..

[Sjamsucks]

@ZetsubouYami And I'm not trolling, I'm calling out posers.

[Sjamsucks]

@l3v1at10n666 Venom are thrash, through and through, and mayhem wasn't even melodic. Emperor have more to do with melodic/symphonic black than Mayhem or Burzum.

[MrRip1997]

@Sjamsucks Emperor is clean Black Metal

[Sjamsucks]

@MrRip1997 And there's no such thing as "clean black metal", you've obviously never listened to emperor if you can't realize that they are symphonic.

[MrRip1997]

@Sjamsucks "I am the Black Wizards" sounds Symphonic to you? Wow, great. And Venom are not thrash you dumbass. They are Death Metal. And leave Burzum out of it

[Sjamsucks]

@MrRip1997 Yes, it is, you are obviously clueless. There is nothing death metal about Venom, Possessed is death metal, Immolation is death metal, Incantation is Death metal, but Venom is thrash as much as early Celtic Frost is thrash. You are the biggest poser I've ever come across.

[MrRip1997]

@Sjamsucks Kataklysm is death metal, dying fetus is, lividity is and shove their CD in your ass (you called me a poser). And now go play the happy donkey cause thrash and death can be combined

[Sjamsucks]

@MrRip1997 Katakylsm is shit death metal, I've been listening to Dying Fetus since you were in kindergarten. And yes, death and thrash can be combined. Bands like Sadus and Morbid Saint combine the too to make the heaviest fastest thrash you'll ever hear. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

[Sjamsucks]

@MrRip1997 But Death Metal was created by Possessed. Venom were more or less the first thrash band, releasing welcome to hell in 81, they released a few more ep's and albums before any other thrash bands came to be(aside from hellhammer) and paved the way for that sound. You don't have any clue what you are talking about kid.

[MrRip1997]

@Sjamsucks WHO SAID A THING ABOUT POSSESSED?And I did not say a fucking word that I know about Death Metal. All I disagree is that Emperor isn't symphonic. And better change your writing style. You see, I don't listen to death..

[Sjamsucks]

@MrRip1997 You kept going on about how venom was dm, so i gave you a history lesson. Typical 14 year old response trying to change the subject when backed into an intellectual corner.

[MrRip1997]

@Sjamsucks Yeah you asshole do you have a problem that I am that old. I started that by saying that Emperor is not symphonic. You kept on supporting your words saying about possessed. And I didn't change subject. Now go tidy your room! Venom is heavy/thrash/black

[JCH979]

my friend was listening to this band i got confused thought was CoF for a second

[VoxVishin]

This is legit the coolest and weirdest combination of Instruments.

[DyingAngel3]

i love this band sooo much

[l3v1at10n666]

ok but what makes this unique then, cos it isnt, and im not sayin cof is unique either and this is nicely executed gothic metal but forgetable and another one of those bands that has a hot chick and some androgynous guys as its selling point , now i know asian black metal can be done well as there IS a unique band called sigh who have some really good records from way back soooo defend away its not bad just boring and been done hundreds of times (hecate enthroned, dimmu dorgir, evenfall..etc).

[l3v1at10n666]

who, what and where is this from, and why isnt dani filth claiming copyright ?

[ShadowOfEden]

@l3v1at10n666

Because then he would be the one getting sued. CoF didn't invent anything. To claim copyright infringement in music, a song must be a direct rip off of another. That they have the same style is nothing.

I'm a big fan of the erhu, so I love it in my metal even more than harpsichords.

[Humancontacthigh]

@l3v1at10n666 CoF didn't invent melodic black metal. Hadurrrrr.

[Humancontacthigh]

@l3v1at10n666 CoF didn't invent melodic black metal. Hadurrrrr.

[Actueel68]

@Humancontacthigh

Didn't Venom do that? Or am I wrong?

[CoherentCarpet]

@Actueel68 I wouldn't describe Venom as "melodic"

[Actueel68]

@CoherentCarpet

Oops, my bad. I should read next time before I post. I thought you were debating who started black metal.

[ZetsubouYami]

@l3v1at10n666 WHOAAAAA WE GOT A DUMBASS ALRET LOL!!!!!!!! & its Dimmu "Borgir*" not dorgir i loled so hard when u fucked the name up & Chthonic sounds nothing like Cradle of Filth. Dani has that high pitch screech & scream & low pitch mumble, wouldnt even call them growls cause there not, plus he uses his regular voice with a dark twist to "sing" in some of his songs, while Chthonic just does there high pitch screams & also have a diffrent style all together. Idiot! xD

[MrRip1997]

@ZetsubouYami Exactly! What an asshole

[PeasantofMercia]

@ZetsubouYami There still the closest band ive heard to filth though have similar style guitars but yeah they dont sound that much alike, especially with the erdu.

[TheLoukku]

@ZetsubouYami

Look at your spelling and think again about who looks like a dumbass, seriously, you are fuckin' ridiculous. Also, your text lacks logic. Idiot! xD

[ZetsubouYami]

@TheLoukku ur nothing but a troll that smells like ur grandmothers pussy, only trolls worry about other ppls spelling when they get burned by another, thus making u a fail troll, haveing nothing better to do but flame a youtube vid because u have no life at all , also took u forever to come up with a comback & all u could come up with was to diss my spelling, fail troll is a fail troll, umad bro

[TheLoukku]

@ZetsubouYami

"also took u forever to come up with a comback & all u could come up with was to diss my spelling"?

You just failed, big time. Idiot.

[ZetsubouYami]

@TheLoukku umad bro

[redfoxskater]

@ZetsubouYami I love both bands a lot, but most of their music sounds very similar. They're both amazing bands and neither are copying each other.

[Totemhorn]

@ZetsubouYami well CoF did around their Principles of Evil Made Flesh and Dusk and Her Embrace albums

[slutmileyc12]

damn i like it

[PitchBlackSuperidiot]

i once saw them as support for ensiferum, and they were great!

[edgecrushh]

great!

[xwartornx55]

Pro fucking song

[xwartornx55]

Pro fucking song

[MeganSaysMeow]

Love this song

[chardude]

WHOA!!!! i was not expecting that opening, sounds sick though \m/

[IWillEnjoyYourDeath]

18,300 people watched this. None of them didn't like it.

\m/

[lpObsession2005]

@IWillEnjoyYourDeath damn i think as soon as you said that someone disliked

[treatt22]

@IWillEnjoyYourDeath 4 justin bieber fan lol



[mnr8788]

@IWillEnjoyYourDeath 5 people were head banging so hard they hit the dislike button

[sybow]

@IWillEnjoyYourDeath 40.073 people listened and only 6 dislikes ^^ Makes me happy hehe.

[PrototypeC4]

Beautiful music and the lyrics are astounding.

[BL333DING]

I love that fuckin harmonization, too fuckin epic

[Nasuke777]

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWRRR­RRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!1

[RhiannonJP]

This song gives me shivers

[JTelli786]

bought there album a day ago and so far this is may favorite.

[blindedbro]

@JTelli786 where the hell did u buy it from. the only option i have is online but i would rather purchase at a store so i can have it that day lol. help would be appreciated.

[JTelli786]

@blindedbro mmm sorry but i got it online from the FYE site.

[Auronshead]

i love the drummer

[RECDEMON25]

the first song that ive heard from them. AMAZING.

[rebelformetal]

holy shit the part at 0:22 blows me away!

[AbbathBlack]

Geniales!

[Valbobard]

Stumbled upon this song purely by accident. Backing vocals and the riff in the prechorus are savage. This album is getting a fair few spins. Any recommendations from Chthonic fans for other listens?

[jimmybdot]

@Valbobard Check out Mirrorthrone. It's not quite black metal but it is very classical and symphonic sound to it. Plus the vocals are pretty brutal

[NEONLIGHTSMP]

one of their best ever songs

[xXxKazamaxXx]

It's a fucking wonder to see a kick ass modern metal band bring out a new album and make it fucking epic instead of shitty like what most bands do these days.

Always loved these guys.

Nice one, Taiwan!

[80handicappeople]

this is the song that i would listen to if i were to invade a hospital nursery and decapitate every newborn inside... thinkin i might download this song and go for it tomorrow, haha

[ZykoMetal]

I like to play Dynasty Warriors and listen to this album

[Darkromani]

that's ironic considering the subject material for most of cthonic's work@ZykoMetal

[frindle8]

@ZykoMetal Dude!! When i heard the first minute of this song i was like "dynasty warriors status!!". No joke!

[InfiniteAgony1]

great backing vocals and chorus

[lukea108]

Win :]

[theterriblesky]

they've been around for a while.. and their stuff in taiwanese sounds even better!

[InfiniteAgony1]

good band/good song 5/5

[hurleysk8r777]

This reminds me of the Dynasty Warriors video games. Except more brootal.

Love it!

[darkwatttcher]

melodic,fast, amaizing:)  great band

[silvercresent1]

If the music could become human, i would worship him/her

[DeathMagick1]

Amazing Band, 2:38 - 3:08 just insanely good

[METLMayhem]

bad ass song...I gotta check out some of their other stuff

[aksquash]

likewise

[spacedead123]

hit the (more info) for the lyrics

[RobbySinful]

Thanx.

Should I do a vocal cover of Blooming Blades?

Check out my covers.

[spacedead123]

I think that going to be a good idea.

[RobbySinful]

This song is beast!!!

But where can i find the lyrics too it?

[IntermissionPoetry]

gahhh the ehru is to die for. can't wait for mah lessons! WHOO WHOO! then onto the sihu! the band kills man. i love them

[JoelLara]

i cant find any lyrics for this song :( i can only understand a couple lines for the most part. i think the first part of the first verse is:

Bloody mirror of retribution

Evil spirits bow

Countless souls give up in the world

There's no way out.

then the first part of the second verse is:

Bloody mirror of retribution

Evil spirits rage

Countless souls in the younger world cry out in flames

any one know all of the lyrics?

[kiikiu]

Amazing band. Doris <3

2.53-3.00

Sick

[DeathcoreDude]

fuckin brilliant song! one of my fav of the new album

[KingXrow]

Summoning now after hearing this. Awesome.

[WarOfFidelity]

Listening to this bands music and mainly the song 49 theurgy chains sends a chill down my spine... I have only known them for a few days and am utterly in love.

[mcfishteen]

ya thats y i like the song

[kenson51]

does any1 else hear the 1-stirng asian bas thing in the background that they sometimes play in kung-fu movies?

[pa3ned]

itscalled an ehru buddy.

[XxElTriNiTariOxX]

there an asian band what do u expect fag there ganna rep there culture.

[kenson51]

calling me a fag is a bit unnecessary dont you think?

[XxElTriNiTariOxX]

[iamtyping]

[EpikPhailureBruh]

I really enjoy this.

:D

[herraperkele]

[GothicMaidenX]

Hellyeah!

[Darkromani]

To me it sounds like a woman singing but the amazing thing is it's not. @Behemoth782

[nanaookami]

@Behemoth782 i agree
