Product Description
Serenity In Murder, a leading new-generation symphonic death metal band in Japan, has released a full album in a short period since their previous work, "THE HIGHEST OF DYSTOPIA," clearly demonstrating their creative drive and momentum. Furthermore, their previous album achieved an exceptional 13th place on the Oricon Indies weekly chart, demonstrating their steady progress with each release. With many fans anticipating their appearance at Loud Park, it seems only a matter of time before this album's release propels them from one of the most promising young metal acts in the Japanese metal scene to a top act. Emi, the sole female vocalist who has captivated the world with her powerful growls that are unimaginable from her oriental looks, and Olly, the British bassist who joined for the previous album, have been joined for this album by drummer Allen, who has been attracting attention for his work with TYRANT OF MARY and for being selected to play in session bands with members of MUCC and NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST. As can be seen from the latest artist photos, the band has undergone a dramatic transformation in terms of its visuals as well. The songs on this album follow the direction that has earned the support of metal listeners around the world since their debut album, centered on overwhelming artistic beauty, twin lead guitars that are sure to bring you to tears, and symphonic synthesizer arrangements, but one of the points of this album is that it has been elevated to a sound that is more in tune with the modern era and shows the flexible sensibility unique to young bands. This is not because they have simply adopted the mainstream sounds of the 2010s such as metalcore and Djent, but rather because they have succeeded in evolving while maintaining the aesthetics of Serenity In Murder. The album artwork was created by Peter Mohrbacher, known for his designs for the globally renowned card game "Magic: The Gathering," and is a masterpiece that perfectly symbolizes the worldview of the album, befitting the band's world-class sound. The album was produced by Hiro of STUDIO PRISONER, who has worked with bands such as NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST, CRYSTAL LAKE, and THOUSAND EYES, and is active on the front lines of the Japanese metal and loud scene. The sound is clear yet possesses an extreme metallic sonic pressure, resulting in the most cutting-edge and powerful metal sound in the world. This is a must-listen for discerning metal listeners, and especially for those who have the impression that Japanese bands often have weak production. This is a work that proves the current strength of Japanese metal to the world. Everything is fused at a high level, resulting in the band's greatest masterpiece to date.
