Mirror of Retribution
Mirror of Retribution is the fifth studio album by Taiwanese black metal band Chthonic, released in 2009. The 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] The band adopted a new logo starting with this album, 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]

gollark: The economy mostly grows in the long run, so you do *not* have to beat everyone.
gollark: You can apparently just shove stuff into index funds, ignore it for ages, and get decent return over time.
gollark: > do you even have an OLED device? just curiousI do not. It would be very inconsistent of me to dislike OLED things but then go and buy a phone with one.
gollark: This is why OLED displays are uncool. LCD gang.
gollark: Wait, what does "i've been drawing for 10 years since 4 years too" mean?
