From 2018, please enjoy Mongolian Monsters of Metal The Hu and "Wolf Totem."
You know, I didn't really believe it heretofore, but music really IS a universal language.

Prog Rock has become an international Metal conspiracy. Or...Metal has become an international Prog Rock conspiracy.
Did anyone else notice the swastika on the fingerboard of the two stringed instrument? I'm curious as to what it represents. A nazi symbol or more likely something pagan.
Captain Al
The swastika is a symbol of good fortune to Hindus and many other people in Central Asia, appropriated by Those Guys as a symbol of Aryan purity. The irony....
Thanks Pete.
Captain Al
Yeah Captain Al, I noticed those, thought maybe it was more native symbolism than Nazi symbolism. I also noticed that the neck of the instrument that had the more prominent swastikas wasn't shown much in close up, unlike the neck of the instrument with the triangle version. There was also a closeup of a ring on a finger that was blurred for unknown reasons. So at least even if the symbols were native, the company promoting them understands the downside.
