Do you remember a time when your favourite band went above and beyond the expectations of a live show and gave you something extra special? Give yourself a moment and try to remember one of those highlights in your concert history. Despite the fact that Metallica [to my recollection] paved the way for strings and metal to combine forces (or Aerosmith at the 1991 MTV Awards), it's nice to see what east Asian metal band Chthonic has done the same for their upcoming performance at Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany (August 1st, 2014).
For a brief recap from the video, Chthonic has made plans to assemble both a four piece and ten piece orchestra alongside the Chai Found Oriental Orchestra with a variety of traditional instruments including ruan, hena, box zither, yangqin, flute, pipa, and sheng. They have performed in prior years of the festival, but the special occasion will mark the first time on the revered main stage.
So whether you are a fan of the band or not, I hope this article brought back any memories of your favourite bands and what they did to essentially step up their game and give the fans something extraordinary.
