CHTHONIC, the Taiwanese metal band recognized with its unique signature of performance, is to release an all new album Battlefields of Asura on October 12th this year since its last official album Butik (2013).
Formed in 1995, CHTHONIC has hit the road of a tour over forty countries with hundreds of concerts and festivals. CHTHONIC has become the most visible Taiwanese metal band with international publicity. In the past five years, all five members of CHTHONIC have turned a new page in their lives respectively. The frontman of band formed a new political party but also got elected into the Parliament while the others established their families. Nevertheless, they have not forgot the promise to release new material to the fans. This year, CHTHONIC has Randy Blythe, frontman of Grammy-nominated metal band LAMB OF GOD, and Denise Ho, iconic freedom fighter and singer from Hong Kong to join the creation of the album and appeared in the preview of title track and raised huge resonance in the music circle.

Secretive promotion planning generates discussion with title track remixed by new bands and iconic Hong Kong singer Denise Ho.
The promotional highlights of the title track in new album, "Millennia's Faith Undone" (烏牛欄大護法), has been remixed and published by five new bands and artists with their own distinctive styles-- ELEPHANT GYM, HOM SHENHAO, UNFAMILIAR FRIENDS PARTY, BISON COUNTRY, and ANGRY YOUTH, which raised the speculation and attention among fans and people in music industry about the song and the series of remixes. The speculation even hinted the possibility of renaissance of lyrics in Taiwanese. Days ago, Denise Ho, the iconic Hong Kong singer, published her version of "Millennia's Faith Undone", as her first Taiwanese song mixed with the voice of Freddy Lim, the frontman of CHTHONIC, throughout the song, which has become a hit in Taiwan and Hong Kong. As the talks about the relations between the song and CHTHONIC continues, the answer finally reveals today that the 50-second preview of original version of "Millenia's Faith Undone" will be published by CHTHONIC and the full version will be out on September 4th.

CHTHONIC's New Album carries the metaphors on social ideologies and philosophies through depicting Taiwanese gods and deities in search of ideal in blood-shed battlefields with a mythological, religious, exotic atmosphere.
According to CHTHONIC, the new album Battlefields of Asura depicts the adventure of deities in Taiwan through eleven songs carrying messages about resistance, freedom and fraternity. The journey is full of hostility, adversary, impregnable fortresses and desires but also inspires infinite courage to search for eternal wisdom. Anyone deeply touched by this album will eventually realize that it is the origin of all thrilling epic stories portrayed in the past albums. This album sounds like gods versus devils and fights among evil spirits on the surface; however, everyone can feel the empathy of fury, grief and even strength of resurgence from the lyrics. When asked why the band names the new album Battlefields of Asura, Doris, the spokesperson of CHTHONIC, states that this album is the prologue of the albums released in the past and was inspired by and dedicated to the activists of Taiwan's first modern political reform movement back in 1920s.
