CHTHONIC: New Video Interview Available

November 20, 2007

Get in the Pit TV conducted an interview with the Taiwanese black metallers CHTHONIC yesterday (Monday, November 19) prior to the band's gig in Tampere, Finland. Watch the nine-minute chat below:

SPV/Deathlight will release a new CHTHONIC compilation, "Pandemonium", early next year. This album will feature re-recorded versions of many older, hard-to-find CHTHONIC songs as well as several selections from their most recent studio album, "Seediq Bale". For new fans, "Pandemonium" will provide the perfect introduction to Taiwan's most successful musical ambassadors; for older fans, the album makes these cult classics finally sound the way they were always intended to be heard.

Like other CHTHONIC releases, "Pandemonium" will feature lavish packaging that includes 10 collectible "song cards," unique digibox packaging with album art featuring Kuan, the "Ghost King" who graces all CHTHONIC covers, and a chronology that details the band's decade-long evolution from underground obscurity into one of the fastest-rising international stars in heavy metal.

"It wasn't easy for us to learn how to produce or record a quality metal album in Taiwan, a country that used to be a metal desert," vocalist Freddy Lim explains. "The earlier albums are important to us, and they remind us vividly of the memorable journey that CHTHONIC has been on, but it was great to be able to combine modern technology and 10 years of experience with the old songs we like the most to make them better, and to let fans get a different taste of them."

CHTHONIC's European tour wraps up on Dec. 15 in Illingen, Germany. For a complete list of upcoming dates, see www.myspace.com/chthonictw.
