20 years after the band's founding and 70 years after the end of World War
II, CHTHONIC has decided to hold the outdoor gig in Liberty Square, Taipei.
The show will feature all of the band's classic songs, and will be the band's
biggest outdoor show to date.
以纪念成军20年以及终战70年
The gig on Boxing Day will be a hugely significant moment not just for the
country, but for the band themselves, marking as it does their 20th
anniversary as CHTHONIC. At a time where Taiwan's social reforms are about to
unfold, the country is politically at a critical point, and with the band's
influential status, the gig is a huge effort to bring the young people of
Taiwan together and push the country forward.

In other news, CHTHONIC frontman Freddy Lim is running for congressman in
Taiwan, at a crucial time in Taiwanese politics, which could have enormous
significance for democracy worldwide. Famous for his long-hair and tattoos,
he is the first rock star in Eastern Asia to do this and is standing for a
brand new political party — the NPP — which is leading the pro-democracy
Youth movement in Taiwan.

A longtime political activist, frontman Freddy Lim has recently lent his
public profile to several social movements. He's now running as an NPP (New
Power Party) candidate for the legislature in central Taipei. The NPP were
founded in January 2015 as a brand new political party and emerged from the
Sunflower student movement of the previous year, which Lim was at the
forefront of. They are advocates for universal human rights, civil and
political liberties and protecting Taiwan's independence as a sovereign
state. The party's main policy is "Transitional Justice," which, lyrically,
has been covered in all of CHTHONIC's studio albums.

Many of the polls show that the NPP has risen up to the third biggest party
in Taiwan as young people reject the ruling KMT party which lists
reunification with mainland China among its core policies.

CHTHONIC, who are currently signed to Spinefarm Records in the U.K. and are
mainstream stars in their home country, have graced the stages of some of
Europe's biggest rock and metal festivals, including Wacken Open Air,
Download festival and Bloodstock. Their music relates to many histories in
Eastern Asia, which are not being taught by the government.
