$eng = 'Crusado Orchestra is a symphonic metal band founded in 2013 that originally originated from a music project by composer Xu Chenxi. We draw inspiration from literature, painting and video art to create music and try to present the elements of drama in metal music.
The band has been in the creative state for three years, and will release the band\'s first concept album, The Seven Theories, in the spring of 2017. At the same time, we are active on the stage of the major Livehouses in Shanghai and have performed with bands such as Blackbird, Devilish Impressions, and Silent Elegy.
"Seven Theories" is a concept album produced by the band that has been combined with black metal, avant-garde metal and symphony for three years.
Most of the music arranges the film/game soundtrack mode, paying attention to the structure and overall atmosphere of the music in the music, and constructing the extreme metal form with the symphony as the feature we try to present. On the orchestra, we use the expression of black metal and death metal as the core frame, and we use the orchestral instrument as the cushion.
In terms of symphony, our motivations and restorations include Shostakovich, Bach and Beethoven. The metal is mainly inspired by Spectic Flesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth and other bands.
In terms of music concept, the theme of this album is from English Bergman\'s classic film "The Seventh Seal". The album is divided into three scenes, with the story of the Knights of the film and the clown Joseph in the movie and the European medieval Black Death. The eruption is a clue to the introduction of human and death, the dialogue of God. After this appearance, we incorporated many Western mystic concepts into the creation of the lyrics, criticizing the Catholic Church and the material universe.
Crusado Orchestra will perform their live show in Hong Kong for the first time. There will be proudly supported by 3 Hong Kong local indie bands:'; $chi = 'Crusado Orchestra 是一支成立於2013年的交響金屬樂隊,最初源自作曲人徐晨爔的一個音樂項目。我們從文學,繪畫和視頻藝術中汲取靈感創作音樂,並嘗試在金屬樂中呈現戲劇的元素。
樂隊成立三年來一直保持著創作狀態,將於2017年春季發行樂隊的首張概念專輯《七論》。與此同時,我們活躍於上海的各大 Livehouse 的舞台上,曾與黑麒,Devilish Impressions,和 Silent Elegy 等樂隊同台演出。
《七論》是樂隊歷時三年制作的一張結合了黑金屬,前衛金屬與交響樂的概念專輯。音樂大部分編曲采用了影視/游戲配樂的模式,在音樂上注重和樂段的結構性和整體氛圍鋪陳,以交響樂構建極端金屬的形態作為我們力圖呈現的特征。配器上我們以黑金屬和死亡金屬的表達方式為核心框架,用管弦樂器編配作為鋪墊。交響樂方面我們動機和復原對像包括肖斯塔科維奇,巴赫與貝多芬,金屬方面靈感主要來源於 Spectic Flesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth 等樂隊。
在音樂理念方面,這張唱片的主題來源於英.伯格曼的經典電影《第七封印》,專輯分為三幕,以電影中騎士布洛克與小醜約瑟夫的歷程與歐洲中世紀黑死病大爆發為線索,引入人類與死神,上帝的對話。在這層表像之後,我們在歌詞的創作中融入了諸多西方神秘主義的概念,批判天主教會與物質的宇宙。

CHIMERAS - Symphonic Doom Metal

$eng = 'CHIMERAS, a creature from Greek mythology, was once adored by the king. However the nature made her unwilling to live as a pet and to please the king, then she run away, nobody could stop her. The term "chimeras" has come to describe something perceived as widely imaginative and delusion. Just as music is intertwined between reality and fantasy, contend against the impossibility. CHIMERAS is a doom metal band found in 2013. The slow but driving force of the underlying guitar riffs combined with atmospheric tone of keyboards created wall of sound shrouded in silence and melancholy. Mourning female voice and growling tells each breathing story which weigh deeply on the heart by piercing the consciousness and emotions. In 2014 winter, CHIMERAS first performed as a supporting band for the Australian death metal band Orpheus Omega Archways Across Asia Live in Hong Kong. Consolidated by the sheer passion to the local band scene, CHIMERAS jointly presented a female voices dark music series "THE VOICE OF SIRENS I : Waves of Sin" and "THE VOICE OF SIRENS II : Paradise Lost", with Ancient Spirit, famous gothic metal band from Hong Kong. Went through years of changing, CHIMERAS shaped their own character they are today. In 2018, the first demo CD "Reality is merely an illusion" released and embarking on spreading their music to other places out from Hong Kong.

$chi = '『CHIMERAS』,源自希臘神話中嵌合獅頭、羊身、蛇尾的神獸。牠曾被國王寵愛,但本性讓牠不甘過著只為討好主人的家寵生活而流竄到外,沒人能阻牠的腳步。
現在,『CHIMERAS』一字被借用解作“幻覺”、“妄想”,就如音樂交錯於現實與幻想之中,為“不可能的事”抗爭。2013年冬組成,以毀滅金屬為主曲風,用沉厚的聲音築起幕牆籠罩著寂靜與憂鬱,以女聲及絕望的哀嚎探透心靈。經過幾年的塑形及變動,於2017年冬天,鼓手Moses加入,形成現在的陣容,並與香港知名哥德金屬樂隊古幽靈聯辦『THE VOICE OF SIRENS I : Waves of Sin』及『THE VOICE OF SIRENS II : Paradise Lost』。2018年,發報首張雙曲試聽唱片 "Reality is merely an illusion 現實只不過是幻象”,並開始著手於香港以外地方演出。
