Not emo rock, but is there anything else in the Chthonic vein of taiwanese music?
Check them out live, really good live vibe.
Since you mention asian bands (and not exclusively Taiwanese), this one came to my mind: 凛として時雨 (they write it as Ling tosite Sigure instead of the usual Hepburn romanization). They are known mostly for the Tokyo Ghoul opening, but they seemed to be quite similar to what you are looking for.

Abnormal:
I asked my girlfriend, and she suggested this Taiwanese band:
They have only a few songs, but I really like their sound.
Not much in Taiwan as far as I understand. There are other metal bands in Taiwan of course, but not that exact kind (Melodic Black/Death Metal with folk instruments and folk/history inspired lyrics).
Or… Which aspect of chthonic do you especially like?
PS: probably better to continue discussion in a separate thread, and not highjack the emo thread here ^^
Collage is frigging awesome.
My favorite Collage songs:
The lyrics to this song is half Japanese, half Pangcah Amis
As for emo rock, 告五人 has several good ones as well
Wow that takes me back to middle/high school
