Taiwanese black metal act Chthonic are a force to be reckoned with. The band doesn’t only house an outspoken frontman who has since become a legislator and therefore impacting real change from inside the system, but the band never shies away from standing up for freedoms the world over.
The band has just released the following t-shirt design to support the movement in Hong Kong. All proceeds will be given to Hong Kong Outlanders association.
