Ancient Creatures of the East

by Winter Dynasty

supported by

SouthernWolf Winter Dynasty has crafted a profoundly moving record here. The employment of traditional folk instruments, the classical melodies that emerge, and the charging black metal interweave to create a unique and stirring experience which frequently left me awed.

l3e0wu1f Stoked on this find. I'm really enjoying the Chinese take on folk metal. The traditional Asian instruments work oddly well alongside the blackened vocals. Favorite track: 貔貅 Bringer of Wealth.

about

Second full-length by Winter Dynasty. This album was inspired by ancient creatures of Chinese mythology and includes a bonus track.

As many of you know, the Coronavirus has killed many people in China and has infected thousands more. I dedicate this album to all of those people who lost their fight against the virus. China 加油！

This is their most black metal sounding album. Later albums started to sound like modern metal or with hints of djent influence. Great debut by the band. I love Dark Souls and black metal, so this is great! Sid

One of my favourite albums of the last decade for sure. The 2020s really have to try to get as good as this release is. HALP
