Favourite Asian Bands
Everyone enjoys all the European or American metal bands... but anyone ever thinks about Asia? What are your favourite bands from there?

I'm a Hong-Kong girl, the underground metal bands absolutely SUCK. messiah is about the only acceptable one here, but even so they still suck, but in China, especially Beijing, there are some damn good bands!

My favourite Asian bands are:
Sigh - a damn good band!
Ritual Day - black metallish, they're really good, I was surprised.
Chthonic - their "Resurrection of the Gods" was completely awesome
Gate of Meditation - is brilliant..
Seraph - some good stuff
Cankered Corpse - very interesting

Anyone who has a wide variety of likings really should check these out! you can come surprised...

Well done on a topic idea. I don't feel qualified to list my favorites as I don't think I've heard enough.

I'll add to the thread by mentioning Rudra, though.

Rudra rocks.

Eh, at the moment my favorite band from Asia is Spitz, from Japan.
Some really really great music and musicians.
And ambigious, poetic lyrics.
Their latest album is quite good.
