NINE TREASURES Announce U.S. Tour with Mushroomhead and Fear Factory
For Chinese Mongolian folk metal band NINE TREASURES, touring the United States represents a major milestone in the band’s international journey. The group is bringing its distinctive fusion of traditional Mongolian music and modern heavy metal to American audiences while sharing the stage with two influential names in heavy music, Mushroomhead and Fear Factory.
“We’re very excited and grateful for the opportunity to tour in the United States. It has such a deep rock and metal culture, and many of the bands that inspired us come from there. We’re also honored to share the stage with Mushroomhead and Fear Factory. It means a lot to bring our music and culture to American fans, and we’re looking forward to sharing the energy and spirit of NINE TREASURES with everyone on this tour,” says the band.
Formed in 2011, NINE TREASURES has carved out a distinctive place in the international metal scene by combining the power and intensity of heavy metal with the rich musical traditions of Mongolian culture. Incorporating traditional instruments such as the morin khuur, tovshuur, and yatag, the band creates a sound that bridges ancient musical heritage and contemporary heaviness.
Their latest album, Seeking the Absolute, out now through Metal Blade Records, represents years of musical experimentation, artistic evolution, and philosophical exploration. After writing and discarding approximately 30 songs while searching for the right direction, the band gradually developed a sound that reflects its musical identity and deeper questions about existence, self-awareness, and the search for truth.
Playing 100-plus festival shows and headlining gigs per year in Asia, to audiences of up to 50,000, and with four albums to their name, NINE TREASURES also takes an uncompromising approach to live performance. The band performs without backing tracks or click tracks, embracing the spontaneity, musical interaction, and raw energy that make every show a unique experience. For the group, live music is about more than recreating a studio recording, it's about genuine emotion and the connection between musicians and audience.
Now, with their first opportunity to tour the United States alongside Mushroomhead and Fear Factory, NINE TREASURES is ready to introduce American audiences to a sound that is as culturally rooted as it is musically powerful. For the band, the tour is more than another series of performances; it's an opportunity to connect with the American metal community, honor the artists who inspired them, and share the spirit of Mongolian culture through music.
