Hi guys!

I'm looking for bands like Chthonic.To be more exact,i'm looking a band,which is:
-Asian
-Sypmhonic black metal(or symph. death)
-plays on a folk musical instrument,like erhu.
Under 'Asian' i mostly mean far-east:Japan,Korea,China,Taiwan,Hong,Kong,etc...

THANKS in advance!

VOTHANA from Vietnam are amazing black metal

Hey,

You might want to give Screaming Savior a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqIsYhYZpEA

Similar sounding to Chthonic, please also try Anthelion

For pure awesomeness (is that even a word?) one of my favourite ever Chinese bands, Terminal Lost:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhXiD81qs6k although they do actually venture into melodic BM, but they are definitely worth a listen!

Thanks for the recommendations.
I clicked on your profile,ZEROMAETAL-i must say,you are my man!

Hah, if you do want more recommendations from that side of the world in particular bands using folk/traditional instruments - but not necessarily symph BM - then drop me a message any time.

Darkestrah is gonna be your new favourite band. True Silk Road Black Metal

But really, they are superb - a plethora of symphonics, lots of folk influences, 110% EPIC!, one of the best vocalists in black metal, and a large discography to bite your teeth into. Please do search them out.

Oh! Also Tengger Cavalry, they're black metal with traditional throat singing. They are great as well.

Here's some lo-fi stuff

Yn Gizarm (China)

Kalpa from South Korea

They had two songs from a split and the last song on their full-length that were more synth & folk black metal.

Oathean!
