Product Description
Contents Introduction (with Japanese commentary) The ultimate evolution of instrumental music, crossing over progressive rock & metal, and even jazz and fusion, has finally arrived! The first album from "The Resonance Project," a progressive metal duo consisting of LA-based Japanese guitarist & bassist Yas Nomura and Chinese drummer Lang Zhao, is finally being released in Japan! Yas Nomura and Lang Zhao, who are active as professional musicians in studio work and live support, launched "The Resonance Project" to pursue their own sound. This first recording is of such high quality that it has been praised by Matt Garstka, drummer of Animals As Leaders, a leading figure in the progressive metal and djent scene. It is a cutting-edge progressive sound that brilliantly harmonizes aesthetically beautiful melodies, aggressive metal sounds, and technical parts found throughout the complex development! Among the tracks, the highlight is undoubtedly M4 "Neo Thangka," which features guest appearances from two globally acclaimed new-generation guitarists: Mateus Asato, a Japanese-Brazilian guitarist who is highly popular in Japan and has toured Japan three times (with Yas Nomura participating as bassist on the third tour), and Felix Martin, a Venezuelan guitarist who makes masterful use of a double-neck 16-string guitar. Based on a magnificent progressive sound, and featuring everything from Felix's brilliant high-speed tapping to Mateus's lyrical guitar solo, it's no exaggeration to say that this is one of the representative progressive metal tracks of this year!
