Inhale - Sanctuary

Some times ago I ordered a demo from Inhale but due to some problems it never reached me. Maybe Japan post couldn't handle the hot hot demo package. Anyway one of the songs the demo is Sanctuary featuring the new vocalist Jeff.  I really like this song and even the demo quality is IMO very good. Better than some real records I own. Surely one of the best bands in Japan.



And what about the news from Sophias mixi page that said about the long European tour. You can't know how much I have waited this. Do I finally get the chance to see them 3rd time. Do they come to enough close to my country?

Shatter Silence

They have played melodic core metal from 2008. On more band from Osaka so it seems that metal scene is very active there!



Also interesting news from Inhale camp. They have updated new song to their audioleaf site with new vocalist Jeff's singing. Really good song and must to check. Inhale has gained level up which is impressive to any band being already so good.

New Breed

Today I have had lot of different kind of band for BGM but New Breeds PV was the jackpot for my monday feeling = (x_x).

New breed is some kind of core with enough metal to be published here. I love the energy of young generation of musicians. This simply made me happy:



And two really cool news. First - Inhale has announced that their new singer! He is Jeff Allen from The Fall Conspiracy Read the full news here: http://www.inhale-web.com/index-j.php

Second great news is that there is lot of happneing in BSC camp right now. According to Ryuichi's blog they are attendind A-KKON 2011 in the USA. Great! And some rumours tells about Europe too.

Cyclamen + some news

Cyclamen is very technical band and so it narrows down the audience from the traditional J-rock/J-metal Fans. But if you are open minded or like more difficult music its really worth checking out. Support members of the band are not Japanese but mastermind of the band is and Japanese lyrics makes this 100% pure J-Metal.

Cyclamen - Never Ending Dreams:



And some really good news. Even Inhale hasn't new vocalist yet they ave released some preproduction material for their upcoming album. They have widened their sound more outside of the metalcore boundaries and it means more "nordic" melodies.

I really hope they find new great singer soon!!

J-Metal and Guitar

I wish there were more j-metal videos like this. But no wonder I like Inhale. We also share many same influences with the Hashimoto and listen carefully for the hardrock influences in their music.
