Back in the day...i remember a japanese band that mixed electronic with metal...melodic death metal to be specific...their name: Blood Stain Child. but now...and from Japan also...This band shows up so unexpected and groundbreaking for all the western scene...like a shockwave into the Metal Foundations and it was so hard to bear...that it is still one of the most debated subjects nowadays in social media everywhere. 3 little girls, Su, Moa And Yui...and behind them, well renowned musicians on the Japanese metal scene genres such as Power Metal and the always contradicted Visual Kei.
When their first video (Doki-Doki Morning) showed up...i first laughed...but not that i was actually mocking them or even making fun of the concept...but i was so surprised and nervous...a normal reaction when something so unique shows up and you try not to glance or even watch as a whole...but i can´t help it...i am now so addicted to this...that i even play them once a week minimum...it is a great mix of the "kawai" sound plus really good metal performances...with that characteristic sound only done by and in Japan.
it will take time...i even think that this unique bitchslap to the metal archetypes will take years to heal...cause let's face it...not even in the most uncommon and unexpected creative mind in the metal scene...something like this would be even conceived in a nightmare...this is so rare to happen...and so pleasant to listen to...their voices are not annoying...even the "poppy" stuff is likeable...and the metal part is so damn good...that a lot of bands need to listen to this project to learn a little about musicianship as well.
A joke for many...a musical breaktrough for a few...and i am one of those few who dared to go even beyond the canons of the almost overly done metal sound. amazing and rare...like an unicorn in tights...that is the best reasonable analogy i can think of right now.
Enjoy!
