CHTHONIC TO HOLD "UNLIMITED NEW YORK" CONCERT PRIOR TO UNITED NATIONS' KICKOFF

Taiwanese band ChthoniC -- who will complete their stint as the first-ever
Asian extreme metal act to tour with Ozzfest this week -- will continue
their historic "UNlimited" tour next month, when they will perform their
first headlining concerts in America.

"Ozzfest has been a great experience for ChthoniC, but we're excited to
perform for our fans for longer than 20 minutes," says vocalist Freddy Lim.

In concert, ChthoniC (pronounced "THON-ick") will continue to perform the
tour's theme song, "UNlimited Taiwan," written and recorded this spring "to
emphasize the 'UNlimited' potential of Taiwan and the Taiwanese people," Lim
says. Like the tour -- which kicked off in Taipei earlier this summer
following the international re-release of 2002's "Relentless Recurrence" and
last year's "A Decade On The Throne" two-CD/DVD live set -- the song was
named to protest how the United Nations (UN) limits Taiwan's full
participation as an independent country. The Washington Post and the
International Herald Tribune, among others, have recently devoted lengthy
features to the message behind the tour.

With a new session of the United Nations General Assembly scheduled to open
in New York on Sept. 18, many pro-Taiwan rallies will be held around the
city in the days beforehand. To coincide with the UN session's kickoff --
where Taiwan will once again petition to be formally recognized as an
independent country, and not a Chinese province -- ChthoniC will hold a
special "UNlimited New York" concert at Manhattan's Highline Ballroom,
located less than three miles from the UN, on Sept. 16. Tickets are
currently available on the venue's website, www.highlineballroom.com, and at
their box office.

Because this is the group's third New York City concert in recent weeks,
coming on the heels of an Aug. 21 performance with Nile and a Sept. 6
concert alongside Katatonia, ChthoniC has arranged for the Highline Ballroom
to offer tickets for only $5 to anyone who redeems a ticket stub from one of
their previous shows at the venue's box office. For everyone else, a $2
discount can be obtained by purchasing the tickets online at
www.highlineballroom.com (enter "un4taiwan" in the access code field).
Furthermore, the first 100 fans in the doors will receive a free set of
ChthoniC "paper dolls," which are sold in toy stores throughout Asia. (A

The "UNlimited New York" concert will be videotaped, and ChthoniC hopes that
people of all nationalities will join them in this historic plea for freedom
and independence.
