In my endless and fruitless search for asian folk metal, i discovered this band around a year ago. Most of the time they play kinda like Children of Bodom, but sometimes they introduce elements and parts of japanese folk, nothing revolutionary but still pretty enjoyable. Their first album is coming out February 10th, but you can download their 2 demos and the single "Faceless".

I highly recommend Persefon'e "Shin-Ken" if you like samurai lyrics. They play progressive melo death

Thx for the tip. Have heard the band before but never really listen them.

Whispered's best is their 2007 demo. its really fast-paced. the guitar work is great, and it leaves you wanting to go out and fight anyone!

I just checked them out. Although I'm not usually into this type of stuff, it is pretty good.

Great band, heard "Thousand Swords" about a month ago and fell in love instantly. I had been looking far and wide for a decent metal band that employed traditional Japanese folk instruments into their music for quite some time just before then and was pleased when I found this band.
