NINE TREASURES will be touring in support of their Seeking The Absolute full-length, released in December via Metal Blade Records.

Formed by vocalist/guitarist Askhan in 2010 in the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia in China, NINE TREASURES delivers a unique combination of heavy metal and traditional Mongolian instrumentation, utilizing both conventional vocals and Mongolian throat singing. Guitars, bass, and drums collide with indigenous string instruments including the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle), the tovshuur, and the balalaika, resulting in a sonic kaleidoscope that follows no set template. NINE TREASURES moves easily from a straight-up headbanging style to the more atmospheric progressive style. Guitar-wise, Askhan infuses a lot of Mongolian playing techniques and songwriting logic into his playing and is excited for the “fresh blood” it adds to the band’s sound. The quintet’s varied approaches and universal messaging will allow them to tour with any musically progressive band, be it Amon Amarth or Tool.

Playing 100-plus festival shows and headlining gigs per year in Asia, to audiences of up to 50,000, and with four albums to their name, NINE TREASURES are at the top of their proverbial game and ready to conquer the Western world. Seeking The Absolute is their first record for Metal Blade, and first LP to have a worldwide release.

Louder Sound crowned Seeking The Absolute, “one of the most unique and effortlessly enjoyable albums of 2025.” Last Rites concurred noting, “if you pride yourself on being an adventurous music devourer with a particular predilection for all things progressive folk metal, do yourself the considerable favor of checking out NINE TREASURES and the very rewarding, notably spirited Seeking The Absolute.” Added Angry Metal Guy, “NINE TREASURES was always good, but Seeking The Absolute sounds like what the band was always meant to be. Like Pantera with Cowboys From Hell, NINE TREASURES exudes confidence in their transformation, crafting a fun, approachable chunk of metal without compromise to their new vision.”
