Edit Lyrical Themes While Some Songs Have Their Lyrics Partly Or Entirely Written In Taiwanese Japanese Or Taiwanese Aboriginal Language Most Of The Band's Songs Have Their Lyrics Written Entirely In Classical Chinese With Mandarin Pronunciation Which Is Rarely Seen In Contemporary Chinese Music. Taking Advantage Of Classical Chinese's Feature Of Being A Monosyllabic Language Many Songs Especially Those In Earlier Albums Used Plenty Of Parallel Sentences In Their Lyrics To Create An Epic Atmosphere. The Themes Mostly Surround Early Taiwanese Colonizers' Defiant Spirit Fictional War Between Aborigine's Gods With Han's Gods Taiwanese Folklore And Mythology And The Historical Event Known As Wushe Incident Which Is A Rebellion Against Japanese Governor By Seediq People. Although The Lyrics Are Quite Profound Compared To Most Contemporary Taiwanese Songs Many Taiwanese People Don't Prefer Black Metal Vocals And Said That They Couldn't Understand Anything Sung By Freddy Which Is Probably Why Chthonic Is Said To Be More Famous In Western Countries Than In Taiwan. read less
