## Resource

If You Know, You Know. That's probably what death metal fans would say about the island's thriving death metal scene, which has spawned the likes of bands including Assaasin, Chthonic, Dharma, and Flesh Juicer. To mark the first ever Formosa: Finland: Fest, we took a closer look at Taiwan's thriving metal scene with the help of a few friends: Deputy Representative and Trade Representative of the Finland Trade Center Jere Tala, and Frank Chu of the band Second Round. Hosted by I-C-R-T's Hope Ngo and Jacob Ingram. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
