肆伍乐队

**肆伍乐队 (45 Band)**

Beijing-based metal powerhouse 肆伍乐队 (pronounced "Sìwǔ Yuèduì") has been crushing the Chinese heavy music scene since forming in the mid-2000s. Known for their blistering blend of metalcore, deathcore, and groove-laden riffs, they’ve become staples of China’s underground metal community. Tracks like "狂想症" ("Delusion") and "穿越黑暗" ("Through the Darkness") showcase their signature combo of brutal breakdowns, guttural vocals, and headbang-worthy rhythms, while their 2020 release "选择精神觉醒或行为沉沦" ("Choose Spiritual Awakening or Behavioral Degeneration") leans into socially conscious themes and existential grit.

A force onstage, 肆伍乐队 has built a loyal following through relentless touring and festival appearances, earning a rep as one of China’s most unapologetically heavy acts. Their music—raw, cathartic, and often politically charged—mirrors the frustrations and resilience of their generation, making them a voice for fans craving intensity with substance. Keep an eye on these guys if you’re into mosh pits with meaning.
