about
New single "3000 Tombs" from Li Dao's new album, "Beyond the Great Firewall", tells the epic story of the Power Blade, Li Dao: The village of Li Jing (vocals), a Peking opera singer, is attacked by an evil sorcerer, causing her to start a journey to seek the Power Blade, which holds the magic to resurrect the 3000 slain men at the bottom of Sword Lake to fill an army of revenge. Her lover, Tsering (bass), was killed in the attack, but journeys on as a ghost. She meets a blind swordsman, Hao Jing (guitar), and mysterious monk, Ru Long (drums), who aid her quest along with her friends in the opera, now turned to Jiangshi vampires, (erhu, dizi, guzheng), in the attack. You've never heard metal like this before.

lyrics
飞烟,赤铸,雌念雄,仇人自屠
怨敌,沉浮,仗青剑,永不相顾
Whoa
复魂,千冢,踏烽火,正邪无用。
怒斩,敌颅,为吾爱,天地不容。
Whoa
我不死的军队将为我的爱复仇
We Will Rise
