Tengger Cavalry is a folk metal band currently based in New York City.[1] They combine elements of the traditional music of Mongolia with heavy metal into a kind of folk metal that Billboard[2] and CNN[3] refer to as nomadic folk metal.
History
Tengger Cavalry was originally founded in March 2010 as one-man project in Beijing.[4] The band is named after the ancient Mongolian and Turkic deity Tengri.
The first international review of their debut demo album Blood Sacrifice Shaman by German heavy metal magazine Legacy in 2011 was cautiously optimistic about the band’s potential.[5] Later MTV did an interview with the band.[4]
In 2012, a feature by UK magazine Terrorizer gave the band a wider international audience.[6] Meanwhile, another UK magazine Metal Hammer commented on their music.[7]
In 2014, Tengger Cavalry released their third album, Ancient Call. Metal Hammer was again drawn to the new album.[8]
In October 2015, CNN[3] did a video interview with the band. On December 24, the group's debut concert at Carnegie Hall was featured in Noisey, The Village Voice, Loudwire and New York Times.
