musical accomplishments

Zhou Yunshan's contribution to Chinese music lies in the fact that he really infuses the Oriental soul into the western music form of rock music,

In the age of moral collapse, the band proposed to regain the true, the good and the beautiful. The band is familiar with and loved by the fans for its artistic rock with the flavor of psychedelic music. The extraordinary artistic imagination, mature ideology and some natural sounds of modern rock in its works make it gradually become the representative of contemporary new music. I believe that in a few years, the eastern and Western cultures will merge into a new kind of music The world culture of China, just like his song "all kinds of people come into one" in "justice", just represents the tolerance of Chinese culture to foreign civilization.

Early experience

Zhou Yunshan likes singing since childhood. He began to learn guitar and listen to rock music when he was a junior in high school. After graduating from University, he resolutely gave up the opportunity to enter the work unit arranged by his father and decided to do what he liked. He took music as his career, chose his own way of life with an independent attitude towards life, and realized his life value with rock music.

In the new album, the humanistic care in the lyrics is sublimated, often in the simple love songs, which contain the subtle meaning. The melody of the songs is very touching. In the rehearsal room and studio, people are often moved to tears. Zhou Yunshan's singing skills are just like God's help. His guitar performance has reached a new level. The Western temperament brought by David, a keyboard player from England, is in line with Zhou Yunshan's leading Buddhist heart, Taoist bone and Oriental Zen; the atmosphere and steadiness of drummer Wenlong; coupled with the later magic of mixer Liu Yu, it produces the unprecedented "bright" soul rock music.
