They are from Taiwan, NOT China. Please.

"Chthonic is a band from Taiwan. Taiwan does not belong to China. Taiwan and China are run by two different governments, two different political parties, two different political systems. Moreover, this concept album is about a Taiwanese aboriginal tribe who died fighting a foreign attack decades ago. This tribe was not a cult at all.



To anyone who is a metal fan claiming he or she stands for truth and freedom of all sorts: Please be advised to check your facts before you say anything here. Don't beleive everything you are told, especially Chinese propaganda and American foreign policy lies. Peace.

Taiwan's pride!

"ChthoniC is a band that's not afraid of speaking out for their own country, Taiwan. A band with true Taiwanese spirits and metal hearts.

Seediqbale (pronounced Seediq Ba-Le) is a concept album with a sorrowful yet epic story of the Seediq tribe in Taiwan. Through its unique musical arrangements, flowing with the story's beginning, climax, and epic end, the audience were given the "movie like" experience.

One of the many unique characters about ChthoniC is the use of ancient oriental instrument, the Erhu (two-string violin). With erhu's low key sounding, ChthoniC's music delivers the melancholic feeling that no other band does.

The production and recordings were handled by Denmark's well thought after producer, Jan Borsing. Sound quality warranted.

Seediqbale also features more skillful guitars, bass, keyboards, and drum; making this album a black metal must-have for the year 2007.



If you don't have this album, then do yourself a favor, pick it up today.
