About Voodoo KungFu

Voodoo Kungfu (零壹: Ling Yi), also called "Zerone", Beijing-based Industrial/Folk Metal Vocals - Li Nan (ex-Masturbation) Guitar - Zhao Feng Bass - Nicola Mazzei Drums - Qin ShaoJian (ex-Burning, ex-748, ex-Cold Blooded Animal, ex-Masturbation tc.) Mongolian (Horsehead) Cello - Narenmanda Voodoo Kungfu was born out ot the ashes of the former band called Mastrubation. The main soul of the band Vocalist Li Nan studied at the Irish Catholic School, but his uproarish spirit of rock'n'roll and his "God is made in Flesh and Blood" led him to turn into the christian extreme sect called Jesus Christ Holy Priest Community and got kick out of the school. After his return in China in 2000, Li Nan found his own band called Mastrubation paying much attention on religious stuff. After struggling with different line ups which broke often apart because of musicial and religious conflicts the band came to an dead end in the beginning of 2003 where Li Nan suddenly disappeared mysteriously. When he showed up again, he brought up an even more mysterious person into view, Chao LuoMeng from the inner mongolian Province who showed his amazing skills on the mongolic folk stringed instrument, the Horsehead Cello, but he is also an successor of the ancient mongolic Religion Shamanism. The common hatred to mainstream religions brought him and Li Nan together on Li Nan's mysterious visit in Inner Mongolia. On the second half of 2003 they went to Tibet 3 times where Li Nan studied many mysterious pagan religions. After their return Vocalist Li Nan renamed the band into Voodoo Kungfu and added many religious and mysterious eastern asian folklore aspects into the music spheres. Until 2004 a new steady line up was set adding the Chefeditor of Sohu.com's Ringtone Channel Hai Feng on the guitars. The new line-up breed a fresh wind into the bands activities, but not for long soon after Li Nan disappeared once again and return after spring fest of 2005 as an even more mysterious skinheaded iconic figure. A new Bass Player was added into the band before Voodoo Kungfu went on stage for the first time in May 2005. With the mystical sound of mongolian folklore over the Horsehead Cello and the high pitched yelling of Li Nan whos corpus was written full of signs and symbols, ZERONE turned the club stage into a altar celebrating gods and demons long forgotten in this modern place of an ancient nation. Their music combined doom, sludge, noise, grind, folk and dark, hatefull and emotional music. It is very difficualt to label this unique band into any know genre, one have to see there breath-taking live performance to get a clear impression.
