About The Underground in China: Metal, Punk, Hardcore and Noise (2013-2021)
What was happening beneath the surface of China’s rapidly modernizing cities? Between 2013 and 2021, Ryan Dyer immersed himself in the country’s underground music scene. The result is The Underground in China: interviews, reviews, concert photography, and firsthand accounts of the thriving scenes of Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin.
From black metal and grindcore to punk, hardcore, and experimental noise, the book captures a pivotal era in Chinese underground music before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Part music journalism, part travel memoir, and part historical document, this is an inside look at one of the world’s most overlooked heavy music communities.
