Our local Gothic Metal band "ANCIENT SPIRIT" is launching its debut concert as a formal group in Hong Kong. The theme of the concert will be "Perfect World". The band depicts dark melancholy with its music, reflecting the yearning for and anticipation of a perfect world, an expression of the wish for the harmonious coexistence of humankind.
ANCIENT SPIRIT
ANCIENT SPIRIT was formed in 1997 as a 4-member group, including guitarist Tony Law, bass guitarist Ringo Tsang, drummer Tony Wong and vocalist Kenny Chan. During their formative years, their style was heavily slanted toward Grunge Rock, and it was not until 2003 that it evolved into a heavier genre with a greater focus on musical composition. Later, in a chance encounter, they met up with drummer Bruce Lau (voted best drummer at the Carlsberg Pop Music Festival), formerlya member of the MASK ("1990 Carlsberg Pop Music Festival & Carlsberg Music Expression" champion band). Around the same time drummer Tony Wong, already deeply interested in the keyboard, decided to move over to take charge of the keyboard section. The result was the timely re-grouping of ANCIENT SPIRIT into a 5-member Gothic Metal music group with an all-new image. The re-energised group has been on frequent public performance tours in recent years, also inviting several female vocalists along for guest appearances. Among these Fraise Tam, the female vocalist who joined ANCIENT SPIRIT in 2009, has not only brought the group the benefit of her unique voice, but has also prompted a refreshing synergy and vitality among the members, much to the enjoyment of the large and growing group of ANCIENT SPIRIT fans.
The creative output of the group is refined and varied, the contents of its songs combining great depth of expression with a range of diverse themes, reinforced by its trademark - a strong rhythmic beat. Consequently, its statement to the world has gained immeasurably in impact, and the evocative metaphors on which the music is built offer fertile ground for the imagination of the audience to flourish on. ANCIENT SPIRIT, as a band that values content over style, and one that aspires to quality not quantity, is actively making preparations for its forthcoming "overdue" debut album.
