Chinese Mongolian folk metal collective NINE TREASURES have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Until Now, is taken from the band’s upcoming album Seeking The Absolute, which is scheduled to be released on October 24th via Metal Blade Records. The track follows on from the previously released single Real Dream.
Speaking about the new song, vocalist/guitarist Askhan says, “the first riff of Until Now came to life in early 2021, and it eventually became the opening chapter of this album. After releasing our last record, Wisdom Eyes, we kept writing new material, but nothing felt right. We didn’t want to repeat ourselves – we were searching for something more honest, more satisfying. So we scrapped over twenty songs and started from scratch. It was a heavy moment. We had no idea what direction to take, whether we’d even be able to finish the album, or if any of it would succeed. We were deep in a fog of uncertainty.
Then one morning, while playing the tovshuur [Mongolian plucked musical instrument], I stumbled upon a sliding riff that just clicked. We kept refining it again and again until it became the final version – recorded, once again, in Los Angeles. Midway through, the track breaks into a stream-of-consciousness improvisation, wild and free. Every time we perform it, it feels like riding a wave that just keeps rising and rolling. We get completely lost in it and we love it.”
