Yanyue - Metal fusion in China

Explicit content warning

11/29/22 • 31 min

In this pod, I speak with Dominic Garcia and Jonathan Zhang from Yanyue. Both are currently living in Changzhou, China and they have been working on their new album due out early next year. Inspired by heroes such as Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Pantera, they have stayed true to their origins, but successfully fused Western influences with a Chinese aesthetic.
IMPORTANT: Some of the lyrics in this pod are explicit, so if you feel this is not right, please skip this pod. Thank you.
