Well, uh, we have a speed metal track from an official anime’s soundtrack for today’s pick. I don’t know anything about the show or this artist or how to go about finding more from them as I can’t seem to find em on RYM, but this kicks some serious ass lol. This release also has an English lyrics version, but the sound is mixed slightly differently, plus I prefer shit as originally intended anyway.
Tidal - please let me know in the replies how else to credit this. I did find this from a fandom wiki page, but that’s it lmao.
They got the singer from Dragonforce to do the English version. Marty Friedman played the guitar for it.
Truly epic.
Edit: found A reddit comment by someone who dug up the credits for the Japanese version
I had read the manga a bit before, and I did NOT expect them to go this far to sell this scene. A sick send up to X Japan easily one of my favourite Japanese metal acts.
Holy shit I had forgotten about X Japan lmao, I fuckin love the song Kurenai. Maybe I’ll post that one sometime soon… Thanks for reminding me! Cool to see actual metal in anime too, and not just like nu metal or some stupid shit like that.
