Dream spirit - Jiangshan( 江山) (Independent)

梦灵 or Dream Spirit is a very interesting folk metal band from China who released their first full album 江山 in 2014. With the lyrics being entirely in Chinese, someone would expect that it would be hard to follow, but the great clear vocals by 曹洪顺 and the amazing melodic riffs by 李时嘉 and  谷旭 in the guitars and 王曦 in keyboards make the listen worth it! Although, my information on the band is limited due to my lack of knowledge of the Chinese alphabet, I would definitely recommend this album and this band to anyone interested in folk metal.
