Biography

Li-chung’s has many memories of music with different sound characteristics. Taiwanese folk music and religious worship music influenced much of his initial playing. He was especially influenced by intricate oriental rhythms and china cymbals. Instead of following an original western music genre, he applied all of his influences into his music while trying to add some progressive oriental metal music style. Li-chung tries to combine traditional western metal and oriental folk/religious music, regardless of the tone or rhythm.
