Metallica, Rammstein, Megadeth. When we talk about metal music, western bands, both American and European, are so many that it’s hard to name them. But few people know that Asia also has hidden treasures just waiting to be discovered. Here is a list of some Asian bands that will pleasantly surprise the fans of this musical genre.
Abominable Putridity
Violent metal enthusiasts will be well served. This Russian band (after all Russia is on both the European and Asian continent) created in 2003 in Moscow offers its fans delirious music. We hardly have time to breathe while listening to them. So far, they have only released two albums: The Anomalies of Artificial Origin and In the End of Human Existence. However, given their talent, everything leads us to believe that the best is yet to come.
Boris
Don’t read on and try to become the origin of this group. Russian? Yes, with Boris as a denomination, one could believe it and is wrong. It is a Japanese band that is a hit among fans of this musical style in Japan. It is by far older than the Russian group since it was formed in 1992. Contrary to many bands, all three members are both the musicians and vocalists of the band.
Aurthohin
Their specialization, hard rock and metal. This group, composed of four members, was founded in 1998, in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Unknown in the West, they are quite popular in their native countries and very productive from an artistic point of view. Despite the difficulties they had to face within the group, they have already produced seven albums.
On the list of bands that also deserve special attention, we can cite Babymetal (a Japanese band) the HU (a Mongolian band), Artcell (a Bangladeshi band), CHTHONIC (a Taiwanese band) and Mezarkabul (a Turkish band). Speaking of the Hu, songs like Yuve Yuve Yu or Wolf Totem will inspire metal fans to discover another aspect of their favorite music.
