Nine Treasures is a Chinese folk metal group with a current lineup of Askhan (vocals, guitar), Aoger (bass, vocals), Tsog (morin khuur), Saina (balalaika), and Ding Kai (drums). If you didn’t recognize a couple of those instruments, you’re in for a treat. The band uses Asian folk instruments to expand their unique style. Oh, and the vocals are all sung in Mongolian.
If you’ve been missing live shows lately as coronavirus has made concerts difficult, the group fortunately just put out footage from their full performance at last year’s TaiHu MIDI Festival. You can enjoy chants, head bobbing grooves, and some overall fun jams now. Setlist and video shown below.
