...and holy FUCK, that's awesome.
I was a huge fan for a long time a few years back, and I still enjoyed their newer stuff now and then (they never got bad, just not as good as before), but this one sends it over the top. I'm a big fan again. New album out sometime soon. May actually import that.
I'm a bit late on this but I LOVE this song. I'm not all that into hard hard rock anymore but if it's got a good melody like this song and doesn't have screaming in it I can't resist. Thanks for the suggestion. Is Girugamesh's other music similar?
The only J-band I'm really a "fan" of outside of anime music is L'arc-en-ciel.
Most of Girugamesh's stuff has a really good melody to it; the guy's voice is just built that way. I think it's hard for him not to do anything melodic.
All the same, they are still a metal band, so there is the occasional bit of screaming and whatnot. But because of the nature of his voice, I've always felt that it's probably a bit more "bearable" for an audience that doesn't like screaming; there's just a certain quality to it that isn't quite as much of an assault to the ears as a lot of other metal-style screaming.
Here's a couple songs that I think show off the usual style of their music. There is a bit of screaming present, but it shouldn't be much of a problem, because it's all flowed together with great melodies and whatnot.
Both are several years old, but the groove isn't too much different from their newest stuff (aside from the newer stuff being more technically-complex and a bit heavier). If you like this, I think you'd really like their music in general.
. Is it even cool wear BAPE anymore? I used to super want those shoes but the prices were too crazy for me.
