ChthoniC

Sing-Ling temple is an ancient battlefield and a historical landmark of Puli town. It’s not only the most essential scene in CHTHONIC’s latest 3 albums, a trilogy story, CHTHONIC has also written 2 songs that adopt Sing-Ling temple as the tiles. One is “Sing-Ling Temple” from the album “Mirror of Retribution”, and the other one is “Quell the Souls in Sing-Ling Temple” from the new album “TAKASAGO ARMY”.
