History
Found in January 1994 by guitarist Xu Ning as a quatet performing speed or thrash metal. The line up didnt last long when Xu Ning went to join Iron Kite as lead guitarist in 1996. Not two years later, he would come back to revive his own band with a different line up.
Unlike the other pioneers of Chinese early thrashers, Purle Halo still kept playing metal at the time when they finally made it to the debut album in July 2001. But you wont call it thrash metal anymore. On the album "The Sea" the added different elements such as nu metal, groove metal, grunge and rock.
It seems to be very silent about the band after the first major release.
