TENGGER CAVALRY: Front Man Nature Ganganbaigal Passed Away

According to Metalsucks TENGGER CAVALRY front man Nature Ganganbaigal has passed away. Details surrounding his death have not been made public. Guitarist Patrick Reilly said the following to MetalSucks:

“We grew suspicious when he did not show up for a pre-show rehearsal last weekend. We also had a video shoot scheduled, so for him to miss that was a cause for suspicion.” The band “had been collaborating with friends of his in Austin since that time.”

According to MetalSucks, Nature was missing for over a week as today (24th), authorities informed the band that they found Nature’s body on Thursday, June 13th.

MetalSucks obtained the following statement from the band:

“It is with deep sadness and shock that we must share the news that Nature has passed away. Nature’s greatest goal in life was the unite people of all backgrounds through community and through music. He was also an advocate for mental health, and encouraged everyone from friends to total strangers to persist through their struggles. Though we have lost a dear friend and a great artists, we know that his music will live on and continue to help us find our common ground and find our strength despite adversity. Please respect the privacy of Nature’s family during his painful time. May the Eternal Blue Sky find him at peace.”

This news has struck us hard as Nature was a huge part in the metal community, especially in New York. Nature was a creative spirit who loved creating music as well as graphic design. His unique blend of Mongolian folk metal with Tengger Cavalry is an accomplishment that speaks for itself. It wasn’t too long ago when Nature had an inspiring feature on Kerrang! discussing how his suicide attempt from last year has encouraged him to create the group’s latest effort Northern Memory (Vol. 1) followed by the EP Northern Memory (Vol.2).

Metal Shock Finland sends condolences to Nature‘s family and friends, R.I.P. our friend

Hailing from Beijing and Hohhot – two major cities located in northern China that share thousands of years of nomadic history – five Mongolian and Kazakh folk-influenced heavy metal bands have come together to provide a stampede of horseback-heavy sound – weaving an untold story of Chinese history that smashes public stereotypes.

Curated by Global Music Award-winning TENGGER CAVALRY frontman and bandleader Nature Ganganbaigaali, a new compilation of music by Nomadic Chinese metal bands, entitled Sound of the Raging Steppe, will be released in digital-only format on Friday, November 16 via TENGGER CAVALRY‘s independent label, Tengger X Cavalry Recordings. Blending the potent heaviness of metal with the multi-faceted sounds of World Music, Sound of the Raging Steppe features Chinese metal bands Tengger Cavalry, Suld, Liberation, Sintas and Nan.

Check out Nan – a Beijing-based Kazakh folk metal band – via a recent music video here:

View more about Suld, a Mongol metal band hailing from Hohhot, here: http://www.facebook.com/suldmetal

As for these other bands, Sound of the Raging Steppe may be their first introduction to international ears, so don’t miss this unique chance to listen! Those interested can also check out an album teaser here:

Nature Ganganbaigaali explains that he created Tengger X Cavalry Recordings with the goal of supporting nomadic musicians from his homeland of China, and also to expand the minds of the metal fanbase to new international sounds accenting the genre.

Ganganbaigaali says, “If you get in a car and drive north from Beijing for six hours, you will reach the vast grasslands of the nomads. Within those grasslands and even the mainland, there are many amazing metal bands. The purpose of this label is to build platforms for those underground or uprising Asian heavy metal bands.”

The compilation will be available via Spotify, Google Play and iTunes upon release, but pre-orders for Sound of the Raging Steppe are available now via Bandcamp here.

TENGGER CAVALRY Reveal New Music Video For “Redefine”

TENGGER-CAVALRY

Earlier this year, Global Music Award-winning nomadic folk metal group TENGGER CAVALRY turned heads with the release of their sixth album, Cian Bi, via Napalm Records. Now, the band is thrilled to announce their upcoming return to Carnegie Hall’s stunning Weill Recital Hall in New York City (154 W 57th St.) for a special performance on Thursday, September 20. The performance will begin at 8:00 PM and tickets start at $30. The performance will feature traditional nomadic musical techniques and instruments such as throat singing, Mongolian long song, and Morin Khuur. Visit this link for more information.

In celebration of this performance announcement, TENGGER CAVALRY have revealed a brand new music video for their track “Redefine”, cut from Cian Bi. The video acts as an artistic interpretation of the message that TENGGER CAVALRY’s music often represents – raising awareness for the preservation of Mongolian culture in the face of modernization and overall culture conflict. Watch the video now, exclusively via Heavy Consequence, Consequence of Sound’s brand new metal vertical, at the location.

Frontman Nature G explains in description of the video, “As core members of TENGGER CAVALRY and traditionally trained Mongolian folk musicians, both Wulijimuren and I immigrated from China to New York City several years ago. Being stripped away from the Nomadic Grassland and stepping into the very industrial and multi-cultural world of the Big Apple, we’ve both faced challenges of progressing and preserving the traditional Nomadic culture in our lives and in modern day.  Unlike Viking trends, Nomadic culture still exists upon the Grasslands and horse riding landscapes in Northern China and is facing great danger in the face of modernization and industrialization from the South. This video represents the mixed challenge we, as TENGGER CAVALRY, are facing every day. It’s a video about cultural conflict, homeland, modern culture, progression and inner strength.”

Cian Bi can be ordered via iTunes, Amazon, and/or Google Play, and streamed via Spotify.

After their split up right after the release of the latest album “Cian Bi” in February 2018, TENGGER CAVALRY have gathered their forces and return with a big bang. The Nomadic Folk Metal pioneers led by mastermind Nature have renewed completely and strike back with their new single ‘Heart,’ which is available as the regular 13-minute version and as a shortened radio and music video edit as bonus track.

Tengger Cavalry Heart
Nature about the new single:
“It is a long 13 min track featuring multiple nomadic folk artists from China and few amazing American musicians. As the song title suggests, it is a song dedicated to all of my fans who put their hearts into what they truly love and believe.”

Check out the video here:

Nature about the regrouping of TENGGER CAVALRY:
“After a long break, it is great to feel like creating what I love again. Moreover I am more than grateful to have all the band members, friends, fans and ppl around me to give a support for relaunching the band. It is more than a passion. It is a cultural project that I intend to share with everyone and I will do my best to keep on going. Last but not least, I want to thank Napalm Records for believing in me and giving me time to heal even when I was in my darkest hours.”
The new line-up reads as follows:
Nature – Guitar, Morin Khuur, Vocal
Pat Reilly – Guitar
Greg Baker – Double Bass
Randy Tesser – Drum
Muren – Morin Khuur
TENGGER CAVALRY, or “the army of the sky god”, teach the greatness of a unique sound symbiosis: With their mighty mix out of Mongolian overtone singing and violin empowered folk metal, these New York mind blasters create something very special. They are not just a Billboard-featured metal band, but also the symbol of nomadic warrior spirit that connects fans from all over the world.
Since the band formed in 2010, they successfully completed two headlining tours across over 40 cities of North America, performed at legendary venues such as The Marlin Room at Webster Hall and the Whisky a Go Go, a sold out show at Carnegie Hall and have been featured on CNN, the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
The next highlight in the eventful career of TENGGER CAVALRY follows on September 20th, when they return to the legendary Carnegie Hall in their hometown New York!
