Nagoya-based, melancholy metal rockers, Deathgaze, recently brought out a single by the name of “Silence / The End” which featured two songs and an extended 10 minute Promotional Video. Since their latest album, Bliss Out, Deathgaze have been quiet with touring but this release pushes them back into the minds of Visual Kei fans world-wide.
Track List
1. SILENCE
2. THE END
Once more, we may feast upon the delights of Ai’s beautiful yet sorrowful singing and rough growls as well as the rest of the band’s amazing metal instrumental work. Takaki (貴樹, Gu.) brings out more of the band’s trademark metal sounds as well as some great solo’s; Kousuke (孝介, Ba.) keeps the dark undertones of each track flowing; Naoki (直樹, Dr.) makes some wonderful use of his extreme, skilful drumming and, of course, Ai (藍, Vo.) for those of you pondering what kanji he uses.
The PV merged both songs together but they come as two separate tracks on CD and contained a fairly obscure storyline. The lyrics are, as ever, gloomy but very powerful and the instruments flow very well. Deathgaze have remained true to their sound and deliver yet more high-quality metal.
The future for this band seems to be a very bright one; they are consistent with their music and have managed to gain a good foothold within the industry. Let us hope for more Deathgaze in the near future and perhaps another album next year.
The PV for this single can be found here.
