[edit] Background

Seraphim is a heavy metal band from Taiwan featuring melodic Power Metal. Its style of music has been widely recognized on many heavy metal websites in more than 35 countries in European, American, Asian, and Oceanian continents[verification needed]. Because of the five members' efforts and fans' support, Seraphim has become the top-ranking band among the melodic Power Metal bands in Taiwan[verification needed].

As soon as established in 2001, Seraphim caught the attention of Magnum Music, which later signed the contract with them. Up to now, three albums have been issued, including "The Soul that Never Dies", "The Equal Spirit", and "Ai". The production of these three albums was assisted by Fredrik Nordstorm in Studio Fredman in Sweden, and the overdubbing was assisted by Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila in Finnvox Studio in Finland. This band is named "The star of Asia" by Castle of Pagan, a Japanese heavy metal website[citation needed]. Currently, the albums of Seraphim are available in more than forty one websites of countries in the world, and they are expected to be accessible in more countries[verification needed].

Seraphim is widely known in the international music circles. To thank the fans for their support, Seraphim routinely stroll around Taiwan [verification needed]. In addition, they have been frequently invited to perform overseas, including once being invited to perform in Beijing Midi Music Institute, and Muisc Festival in Kun-ming. Moreover, they have begun their first world concert tour since 2004.
