Intro

Angelo delivers a sound that is simultaneously heavy and highly melodic, characterized by the unmistakable, nasal-inflected vocals of Kirito. The music feels like a high-speed chase through a futuristic city, blending the grit of hard rock with the polished, dramatic flair of the visual kei movement. It is music that demands attention, built on a foundation of driving percussion and thick, prominent basslines.

What sets them apart is the technical sophistication of their guitar work, especially after expanding to a five-piece lineup. You will hear intricate, interlocking riffs that create a dense wall of sound without sacrificing clarity. Their songs often follow complex structures that build toward massive, soaring choruses, balancing moments of brooding tension with explosive, cathartic releases.

Start with the album 'Design' or 'BABEL' to experience their peak blend of aggression and melody. These records showcase their ability to weave conceptual, often dark lyrical themes into stadium-ready rock anthems that feel both intimate and grand in scale.
