Taiwanese metal band Chtonic uses the traditional Chinese musical instrument, the erhu, incorporates elements of Taiwanese folk music, and also uses some Indigenous instruments (Taiwan has many Indigenous people who are closely related to the other Austronesian peoples of Southeast Asia). They sing in Mandarin, Hokkien, and some Indigenous languages.

Northeast India is a surprising hotspot for rock and heavy metal. I've spent many happy weeks there with very old Asian people at rock and metal festivals and concerts and it's unlike any other scene in Asia I know of. (There's even an annual Bob Dylan festival)

These Northeast Indian musicians also tend to be Indian Indigenous (mostly Khasi)
