Welcome to album ranking Wednesdays here on the channel once again. Tonight we are going deep beneath the earth in china once again for an album ranking of one of my favorite Chinese Black Metal bands with BE PERSECUTED. Easily one of the best in the genre of Chinese DSBM and a very unique band if I do say so myself. So before we get into the ranking let me give you guys some background history on Be Persecuted
Be Persecuted are a depressive suicidal black metal band from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province,China, formed in 2005. Originally put together by former Dopamine vocalist, Zhao and guitarist/bassist Tan Chong, the band quickly recruited drummer Autism to their ranks and began writing/recording music.

In 2006, the band released their self titled demo on Pest Productions. The demo showcased an incredibly brooding style of DSBM that would bring attention onto the band from the deep underground DSBM scene in China. The style was reverb drenched and repetitive, which would become part of the band's staple sound. Untrue rumors about Zhao being female started circulating almost immediately for some reason or another, and this generated either love or hate from the small Chinese scene.

In 2007, the band followed up with their debut full length album, I.I, which showcased a more foggy, hazy sound than their demo work, and a slightly higher speed overall. Around this time the band was playing live more and more, and were becoming local heroes sorts. The band was also dropped from Pest Productions just before the release, because of Zhao's feud with members of Dopamine, who own the label. His reason for leaving Dopamine was supposedly "they refused to show commitment, and I wanted to focus only on Be Persecuted". Signing immediately to the German label No Colours records, the band put the release out and for the first time saw distribution in Europe as well as China.

In 2009, the band released their second full length album and probably most popular release, End Leaving. This album showcased more melody and an overall better production(of course maintaining the extreme lo-fi that black metal is known for). Zhao started to become renowned in the Chinese underground for his vocal strength and diversity on this album, and is often counted as one of the strongest vocalists in the DSBM genre by fans of the band. Around this same time, Zhao also grew tired of being called a woman and put an end to the rumors in an interview, stating "I(Zhao), am not a woman. I'm not sure where people got this idea from, but I think people obsess over it too much, even if I were".
