Freddy Lim, A Death Metal Star, Is Running For Political Office in Taiwan

The 39 year old frontman of Asia’s most successful death metal band is running for one of the 113 seats in Taiwan’s Parliamentary Office. He hopes to give the people in Taiwan a voice, many of whom fear they will fall under influence of China, just as he does in his music. “Young people don’t want Taiwan to become another Chinese territory and look in fear at Hong Kong, where Beijing is tightening its grip.”says Lim. I feel as if this is a great decision to be made considering political conflict is often spoken about in death metal music as well as many other genres of music (punk rock, hip hop etc.) It seems as if he is passionate about making Taiwan an island that has a big voice and having the right to make fair choices.
