Tang ChaoTang Chao is a China heavy metal band that is often credited as the first heavy metal band in China. Tang Chao rose to fame in 1992 with its self-titled debut album Tang Dynasty. Their sound is part progressive metal and part traditional Chinese vocal techniques with lyrics meant to hearken back to the glorious days of Chinese civilization. Tang Chao soon became the icon of Chinese rock, and their lightning-fast guitarist Liu Yijun "Lao Wu" became the first guitar hero in China. However, the 1995 death of bassist Zhang Ju in a motorcycle accident dealt a heavy blow to the band and its subsequent release "Epic", 7 years after its debut, received lukewarm reviews. The band still plays live in Beijing occasionally, although no firm date has been set for a new album.
