Chthonic - Korean Heavy Metal Band

I went to China back in March and saw some interesting musical talent. Of course Chtonic - pronounced "THON-nic" - is a Taiwanese extreme rock band and they are playing Ozzfest this year. This is one interesting band. Female bassist. Drummer with the mouth covering. KISS inspired. Keyboards integrated very well into metal genre (eat your heart out Van Halen). An erhu in metal rock. That is a first. Erhu (hena in Taiwanese) is a two-stringed traditional Chinese violin.

Guitarist Jesse (the Infernal), bassist Doris (Thunder Tears), keyboardist CJ (Dispersed Fingers) and drummer Dani (Azathothian Hands), Su-Nung (the Bloody String). Check'em out below:
