“When a Manchu conspiracy to overthrow the Ming dynasty is thwarted by a group of Shaolin disciples and patriots, a fierce battle to defend the life of the King ensues, with deadly results”
Shaolin Death Squad’s first album from 2006, Intelligent Design, is one of those unknown masterpieces that will stay with you forever. It’s very hard to cage this work of art in a musical genre or other, they define themselves “Theatrical Rock”. The music goes from the burlesque to the violent, from the atmospheric to the grotesque, from the cold mountains of China to the exaggerated joke of a circus; there's anger and insanity, there's laughter and even some light; we travel from the traditional to the modern, from progressive-metal to thrash metal to space-rock to avant-garde.
The musicianship is outstanding and without self indulgent show offs; the “White Swan”, the singer, has a stunning range and mastery of pretty much every genre you can think of, heavily influenced by Mike Patton, but definitely with a unique style of his own.
This was a self released album, please buy it after you try it so that hopefully the Squad will deliver another masterpiece. Yes, I am in love with this band.

Well done Mr Nemesi!
Never heard of this band but I'm eager to try it! A nice catch for sure!
I hope you don't mind me making minor modifications to your post so that it fits the visual aspect I set for New Moodswings... ;)
And welcome aboard by the way! :))
sounds interesting, thanks - steve.
