FlowerLeaf release new single and music video The Storm!

FLOWERLEAF are back and they are ready to start their Dreamerie journey! As a forerunner, they just released a brand new single along with a music video called The Storm. 

The Storm
 is the first single from the Dreamerie – Chapter I: Time. It’s a song about self-confidence, fighting for what you want and fulfilling your destiny. 

“It was an amazing experience recording The Storm because it gave FlowerLeaf a new dimension and it gives us lots of possibilities for what we can create in the future” – singer Vivs Takahashi says.

FlowerLeaf are preparing their next release in an ambitious project called “DREAMERIE”. The Dreamerie is the book of dreams, full of wishes, fantasies and nightmares. It contains the desires of the heart and the fears of the soul. Like every book, the Dreamerie is divided into chapters that will be released as a sequence of five short-albums within the next few years. Each chapter will bring its own theme and the first one will be called TIME. And Chapter II is already in the making.

Japanese symphonic metal wizards HETEROGENEOUS ANDEAD drop new lyric video – ‘Fragments of Memories’!

“Fragments of Memories” is a track taken from Heterogeneous Andead upcoming album “Chaotic Fragments” due for release on April 8th via Wormholedeath worldwide.HETEROGENEOUS ANDEAD is a Melodic & Symphonic Electro Death/Thrash metal band in Tokyo, Japan. The sound is based on Thrash metal with Progressive metal, added the Electronic & Symphonic sounds, and all of them is sung by Mezzo-soprano & female growl voices.
We’ve released one EP & album so far, so this album will be our third release.
We don’t change the concept and aimed to further improve the level while making it understandable as Heterogeneous Andead music immediately after listening. There are songs with more progressive elements in this album, and we also take on new challenges such as triple time.
It also features more guitar harmonies and the synthesizer’s sound is more emphasized than before. The performance of each part is also more energetic. This album has only 8 songs, but I think that all the songs are good quallity to be the lead track of the album. In this album Yusuke Kiyama worked on mixing / mastering, so all the sounds are our ideals.
HETEROGENEOUS ANDEAD are
Haruka: Vocals (Mezzo-soprano & Growl voice)
Yusuke Kiyama: Guitar, Synthesizer, Programming
Tomoyuki Nakano: Drums

(recenzija) Ghost Cries – Purgatorium (Repentless Records)

Ovaj bend dolazi iz dalekog nam Japana i Purgatorium je njihov treći dugosvirajući opus koji sadrži 8 pjesama. Ono što možemo očekivati na ovom opusu je vrlo zanimljivo. Ghost Cries sviraju mješavinu simfonijskog metala a la europski bendovi sličnog stila, sa puno synth pasaža, odličnih piano solaža i melodičnih tema glavnih melodija izraženih synth i orkestralnim dionicama u kombinaciji sa odličnim clean anđeoskim vokalom pjevačice Coco. No, drugi dio je njihova, nazovimo je mračnija strana, kombinacija black, death i thrash metala, sa growl vokalima ove odlične pjevačice i epskim melodijama, agresivnijim bržim bubnjanjem, ponekim blastbeatom, pa čak u dijelovima i folk i prog utjecajima u ponekim dijelovima pjesama. Zvuči ovako opisano kao papazjanija svega i svačega, no ispada odlično prilikom slušanja. Provjeri, nećeš zažaliti.
