HEBI KATANA
Description:
HEBI KATANA, known as Tokyo Samurai Doom, presents his 4th album, a limited edition of a US Ripple Music vinyl record with a unique Japanese obi! A one-of-a-kind fusion of wabi-sabi and heavy sounds! The previous album "III", released in December 2023, was enthusiastically received in Japan and abroad for its band ensemble, heavy sound, and catchy melodies, which were refined after a change of members. It was ranked in the Top 7 of the influential "Doom Chart" for December 2023. In early 2024, the band embarked on a release tour that included stops in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Gifu, Hikone, and Tokyo Doom Fest. In July 2024, the band toured Italy and France, making a strong appeal to European listeners as well.This album, which features the same lineup as the previous album and was produced in parallel with the tour, features lyrics inspired by Matsuo Basho and Tanizaki Junichiro, such as "wabi-sabi", "beauty of imperfection", and "Enso", which are based on the uniquely Japanese spiritual world. The style of the album is a reworking of the royal doom/hard rock sound that has been established up to now, in line with the worldview of this album. The opening track "Bon Nou - 煩悩" presents a new departure with a fast-paced rhythm section and a noisy part derived from a freaky jam session. In "Dead Horse Requiem", "Doomed Echoes from Old Tree", and "Praise the Shadows", doom metal/hard rock royal road riffs take the lead, and polished melodies and harmonies are developed with the band's unique color. The band's own unique color is used to create the serene and mellow parts of the song. The fullness of the songs, such as "Yu gen - Yugen" and "Yume wa Kareno - Yume wa Kareano," which boldly fuse serene, mellow parts with doomy, heavy riffs, far surpasses that of the band's previous work.Raven provides the main vocals on the six-minute-plus opus "Blood Spirit Rising - Moro Kyo Muyo," one of the most killer tunes on the album, with a jam part deeply devoted to 70s legends of yesteryear that paints a profound picture of the world. Goblin's vintage-inspired drumming is powerful, yet flexible and tuneful, reminiscent of Neil Peart (RUSH) and Stewart Copeland (THE POLICE, etc.).
