If anyone wants to hear really cool Chinese Folk Metal, try out the band Snowsedim. The guitars are pretty basic, not gonna lie, but they use Chinese instruments that aren't seen as often. Like, this song features a Banhu, a type of folk Fiddle from Northern China, often the lead instrument in Hebei Opera.

Honestly the fact its basic and catchy makes it even more authentic, because Chinese opera is traditionally based on simple, catchy melodies. The vocalist has a really powerful voice when singing as well. It's definitely a more rustic take on Chinese tradition, which is cool because I prefer the more rustic forms of traditional Chinese music anyway lol.

  For reference, most Chinese Folk Metal bands are rooted in modern Chinese Orchestra, and would be better classified as Chinese Symphonic Metal than Folk Metal technically (Chinese folk music is a completely separate musical category, although both are thought of as traditional)

  For fans of Kote Kei, the melody played by the Dizi flute in this song really remind me of Kote guitar riffs. However, I think it's simply because they coincidentally used the same mode or scale those Kote songs use. The song slaps though.
