Not Following the Mongolian Folk Metal Trends, Black Thrash Act Muqali Unleash EP [China]

Far from being another trend-followers of “Mongolian Folk Metal” that puts tons of traditional music passages into their music, Muqali’s punkish riffs wholeheartedly pay homage to the legends of old-school black/thrash. Out of his obsession with ancestral worship and Mongolian war culture, the frontman 特日格勒 gathered a bunch of friends and formed Muqali in the base camp of Pest Productions — Nanchang. The debut self-titled EP is finally out: brilliant melodicism and riff work in the veins of 90s Finnish Black Metal, hard-hitting crossover rhythms, pairing with the double vocals ranging from ferocious shrieking to barbaric howls — we feel safe to say that Muqali represents one of the most promising new band that joined our roster recently.
