CHTHONIC To Release New Album In August - June 2, 2009

Taiwan is a country where history and folklore work very much hand in hand,
and both of these elements are central to the latest studio album from that
country's premier metal outfit, CHTHONIC (pronounced "Thonic"). "Mirror of
Retribution" will be released August 10 on Spinefarm Records UK.

Formed in 1995, CHTHONIC (a name deriving from a Greek word signifying
spirits of the underworld) has delivered an 11-track body of work that
touches on both the spirit and mortal worlds, with loss of national identity
and the sometimes turbulent history of their homeland recurring themes.

With ANTHRAX guitarist Rob Caggiano at the production and mixing helm,
"Mirror Of Retribution" sees the award-winning musicians further developing a
style that started with the 1999 album "Where The Ancestors' Souls Gathered",
blending full-on metal of the darker persuasion with traditional Taiwanese
instruments such as two-string violin, the hena.

"The story behind this album combines true historical fact with an ancient
myth of hell," explains bassist and band spokesperson Doris Yeh. "Amongst
other things, we make reference to the famous '228 Massacre,' which was the
biggest ever massacre in Taiwanese history. Tens of thousands of Taiwanese
were killed by the Chinese army. The final battle of the event occurred in
the middle of Taiwan, where 40 local militia attempted to resist 2,500
soldiers from the Chinese army. In the end, the militia lost their lives near
the Sing-Ling Temple.

"Musically, we tried to move the band to a whole new level," continues Doris.
"In the past, we've been described in various ways, as 'symphonic black
metal' or 'melodic death,' the word 'folk' has also been applied at times,
but this was our chance to establish a new place for ourselves in the extreme
metal genre."

Never ones to shy away from a just cause, CHTHONIC — in particular frontman
Freddy Lim — have been consistently active on the political front at home,
whilst away from their hometown of Taipei they have appeared at the Wacken
Open Air festival in Germany and toured as part of the Ozzfest in the U.S.,
the first Asian extreme metal band to make such a mark.

CHTHONIC is:

Freddy Lim - vocals
Doris Yeh - bass
Jesse Liu - guitar
Dani Wang - drums
CJ - piano/synthesizer
