NINE TREASURES ‘SEEKING THE ABSOLUTE’ NOW PLAYING

Chinese Mongolian progressive metal outfit NINE TREASURES are pleased to unveil a video for the title track of their outstanding Seeking The Absolute full-length, out now on Metal Blade Records.

The title track fully embraces the spirit of Eastern playing techniques, "especially glissando, over and over again,” notes vocalist/guitarist Askhan, “which is why the song’s working title was simply ‘Slide.’ By that time, our creative process had become completely free. We no longer cared about rules or boundaries; we just followed our instincts and poured everything out. The dual solo in the middle, between the morin khuur and the slide guitar, is one of my favorite moments — two instruments, two textures, playing the exact same notes. It’s a perfect fusion.”

In a groundbreaking creative step, the band partnered with Matthew Medney and Alex Kane of Gungnir to incorporate animation drawn directly from the forthcoming installment of the official NINE TREASURES comic series. The “Seeking The Absolute” music video seamlessly blends live performance with stylized sequences pulled from the comic’s visual mythology, merging art, music, story, and culture into one unified expression. The animated moments don’t just accompany the track; they expand the band’s world, bringing Mongolian folklore, spiritual symbolism, and progressive-metal energy to life in a bold new medium. This cross-media approach marks the first time NINE TREASURES has intertwined their musical narrative with their visual storytelling, building a fully connected artistic universe spanning albums, comics, and now animation.
