安娜与陈飙 (The Anna & Chenbiao)

 

 
 
 BAND NAME: 安娜与陈飙 / The Anna & Chenbiao
GENRE: Post-Black Metal, Post-Rock, Ambient, Neofolk, Classical, Various
STATUS: Unknown
LOCATION: China (Beijing)

Formed in 2009. It's a husband and wife duo.

Their name is variously latinized as "The Anna & Chenbiao"; "The Anna&Chenbiao"; "Anna&Chen biao"; etc.

They've also gone by the name "Shekhinah" since early 2016. However, I can't tell if they actually changed the band name, or if this is simply the name they plan to use in the English-speaking market. Either way, I can't find any activity from them after April 2017, so I don't know if the band is still active.

The date given on Bandcamp is 11 December 2015, but the page was actually published 13 January 2016. At the moment, I'm not sure what this means.

Track 1 on this is industrial black metal. The other songs lean a lot more classical/ambient.

All four songs are meant as a soundtrack for a stage play.

1) Stratospheric Prometheus 6:42
2) The Golden Age Dethroned I 9:28
3) The Golden Age Dethroned III 2:35
4) The Golden Age Dethroned III 2:02




Note: Some time ago, I decided to stop listing full discographies for bands that only had a few metal songs. This band has numerous other songs and releases that aren't mentioned here. As far as I'm aware, none of these have any black metal elements. (Please let me know if I missed any, though.) Please still check out their other releases! If you like any of the genres mentioned above, you will love this band.
