Taiwanese death metal band Chthonic released their brand-new track, “Endless Aeons,” online. Birdy Wei-Ting Hung directed the music video for this cut, which has been made available now.
CHTHONIC’s music is always about reincarnation and catastrophe – it’s very religious. In the past, our works told Taiwan’s ever-reincarnating catastrophes. When I discovered that actually someone close in my family is a victim of one of these catastrophes, it became personal, and started writing ‘Endless Aeons‘ and other songs. When will these catastrophes be over? If we could start our lives all over again, would it be possible for us to be without remorse? This song is a question, and the answer. Freddy Lim
This is a song that sounds complicated, but actually simplistic. Answering a complicated question with simple words, this is how the song is supposed to be.

Characters in the new song are victims of the 228 Uprising and Massacre in 1947 who fell into infernal reincarnation. Through the song ‘Endless Aeons‘, they are reborn again, but fall through the tunnel of time into a CHTHONIC concert, a development that signifies interruption of the reincarnation.
