Bliss-Illusion

Bliss-Illusion (Chinese: 森罗万象) is an avant-garde metal band hailing from Beijing, China that began to make waves in the international metal scene during the mid-2010s. The band is known for fusing the intensity and melodic aspects of black metal with elements of traditional Chinese music and Buddhist philosophy, creating a unique and ethereal soundscape that has garnered them a dedicated following within the metal community. The driving force behind Bliss-Illusion is their frontman and mastermind, Jinglong, who blends his own spiritual journey into the band's sounds and lyrics.

Bliss-Illusion's work often features atmospheric layers, with traditional Chinese instruments such as the guzheng (a type of zither) and flute merging with ferocious guitar riffs and enigmatic vocals. The band hit their stride with releases such as "Shinrabansho", which translates to 'everything in nature' or 'all things in the universe', showcasing the band's philosophical depth and their penchant for thematic substance. Their music often explores themes of spirituality and enlightenment, seeking to transcend beyond mere musical experience into something more mystical and transformative. As of their most recent releases like "Leave Abhassara​-Deva" and "须​弥​山​·​行", Bliss-Illusion has continued to cement their reputation as innovators, pushing the boundaries of the black metal genre with their fusion of cultural and spiritual elements.
