Mirror of Retribution is the fifth studio album by the Taiwanese black metal band ChthoniC. This album, as with previous albums is based upon concepts of historical facts (as with previous studio album Seediq Bale), an ancient myth of hell, and contains references to the 228 Massacre[5]. For this album the band adopted a new logo, as seen on its cover; as well as a new stage presence based upon Taoist magic figures of folklore and the types of facial masks they wore[6].
