China是瑞士的一支流行金屬樂隊，成立於1985年。是由鼓手John Dommen,組建的.樂隊於80年代後期和90年代初期,在國際上取得了巨大的成功(流金黃金歲月啊).他們的專輯曾進入了Billboard Top 10,在瑞士本土,英國,德國和日本,也都取得了相當不錯的成績.
China的音樂被Thin Lizzy, Europe 和Scorpions 這樣的樂隊所影響,早期成員包括吉他手Claudio Matteo和Freddy Laurence, 鼓手John Dommen主唱vocalist “Math Shiverow和貝司手Marc Lynn.1988年,辛勤和幸運換來了他們和德國Phonogram唱片公司的一紙簽約.不久,他們發行了第一張同名專輯”China”.在電視媒體的強力宣傳和廣大FANS的極力推崇下,China備受鼓舞,在89年又發行了他們的第二張專輯 Sign In the Sky.這張專輯的主唱已經換為Patrick Mason,同時,BASS也被Brian Kofmehl所取代.
China此時已經受到了相當的關注,不僅僅因為他們出色的hard rock旋律,還有他們的新主唱.此後,他們開始了大規模的90個城市的Sign In The Sky巡演,並發行了一張現場專輯Live,過後,主唱的位置被來自美國的Eric St. Michaels所取代,接著,又發行了他們的第三張專輯Go All The Way.92年,Eric回美國,成為一個自由藝人.93年5月,China和Marc Storace(瑞士經典老團Krokus的前主唱)一同,進行瑞士的Radio “DRS 3”現場演出.這次現場日後被錄製為專輯,並以Alive的名字發售(他們的第二張現場專輯).這張專輯被china的fans稱為” a must have for real fans”(真正的Fans所必須擁有的).此後,樂隊一直沒有什麼動靜,95年,樂隊才發行了他們的第四張專輯, Natural Groove,這張專輯加入了更多的新元,走的是Modern Rock路線,但是已經跟原來那種流金曲風相去甚遠了,隨後,樂隊因外界音樂風格的巨大轉變和自身的多種原因,宣布解散.
2000年,借著80年代重金屬回潮的趨勢,和對曾經光輝歲月的懷念,China樂隊宣布重組,並展開了China-Revisited的巡演,吉他手Claudio和Freddy,BASS手Brian和Giovanni(這傢伙是誰?前文沒看見過-_-!)邀請了樂隊的三位主唱Strübi (1st CD,就是Math Shiverow), Eric St. Michaels (3rd CD) 和 Mark Storace (alive CD)一同進行了這次巡演(-_-!一張CD換一個主唱).巡演的每一場,都給廣大Fans一個” a heart pumping”,仿佛回到了曾經的流金黃金歲月.
現在,吉他手Claudio Matteo在"DJ Claudio"混的很成功(資料說他是個職業的DJer-_-!),目前在AlpenRock House - ZH Kloten;Mad Max – Basel;Schützenhouse - Wangen a/AARE;Backstage - St.Gallen;Albani – Winterthur;Bronx - Buchs SG;Top 10 - Singen D等多家俱樂部工作.樂隊其他人沒什麼資料了,沒找到.有興趣的去他們的網站www.6degrees.ch/china去看,德文的好像是,看不懂......
