2014. At the time the scence in Taiwan was boring and almost everyone had bad taste when it came to music; people here only focused on mainstream metal bands, so I thought if our local labels and promoters are so boring, why don't I just do it by myself. When I got this idea, no bullshit. I just did it.

That's how I started distributing, releasing and organizing gigs for undergrond stuff, especially black metal and funeral doom.

Question 2:
Is metal popular in Taiwan? Can you name some bands from the scene,?

It's not really popular, but it still has some successful bands like Chthonic. However, I don't like their attitude or music style. I recommed listening to cooler bands like Obsequial Joy, Bazooka, King Norman, Miser, Ashen, Desecration, and Aohen.

Question 3:
What was the most succesful release on BMR?

Gallhammer - Gloomy the lights tape, the first sold out release, but actually it's a release under Bad Moon Rising's sub label, Shinseinen. If under the Bad Moon Rising, I think it would be Welkin - ?? Will to Purification, or Buried Alive / Dinkumoil - Rehearsal MMXXII / The Official Bootleg Studio Live.

Question 4:
Are Taiwanese girls pretty?

Yes, I think you will like them.

Question 5:
What is your top 5 favorite metal albums?

Gallhammer - Ill Innocence
Sigh - Hail Horror Hail
Abigail - Forever Street Metal Bitch
Corrupted - El mundo frío
Church of Misery - Houses of the Unholy

Question 6:
Do you like psychedelic music? If yes, what are your favorites?

Nope, I'm not really into that kind of pure psychedelic music, but psychedelic black metal I'm good. I like Oranssi Pazuzu and Black Magick SS.

Question 7 (last one):
What are the future plans for Bad Moon Rising?

Now I'm organizing the one and only international black metal gig, Taipei Black Order Propanganda, in Taiwan. I hope I can continue to organise one black metal show every year, keep releasing good extreme metal, and promote Taiwanese extreme metal to the rest of the world.

This year I'm planing to release Holyarrow - Long live victory MC, Xurganuuth / ??? (Saikinsen) - Biological Warfare - Holocaustic Rapevomitation against the Slaves of Ar-Raheem CD, Pure Wrath - Live at Cryptid's Lair CD, Demonslaught 666 - Endless Witchcraf MC, and Ashen - ?? CD...etc.

Please follow our Bandcamp and Instagram. You will discover more and more bands.
