UPC: 647216613718 Label: SKIN GRAFT RECORDS Format: LPRelease Date: September 20, 2019In stock items ship within 48 hours Japan's Koenjihyakkei blend progressive rock, jazz fusion, symphonic rock and neoclassicism with the energy of hardcore punk, the volume of metal and the attitude of rock in opposition. Tatsuya Yoshida’s (of the renowned bass and drum duo RUINS), progressive rock powerhouse is Area and ELP at their most excessive; Deus Ex Machina with tempo changes multiplied by 100; and Magma at their orff-ian choral, fusion jazz, overcharged gospel peak. “Angherr Shisspa”, the band’s landmark fourth album explodes with glittery keyboard lines, speedy bass/drum workouts, emotive reed respites, and operatic female vocals that take the listener from sheer exuberance to absolute apocalypse... all performed with superhuman technique in confoundingly catchy, complex arrangements.“...towers over most modern progressive rock because of an attention to detail and an almost overwhelming force of conviction. No irony here: this rocks with the teeth and heart to cut through scenes and the "overground" like a knife." - PITCHFORK TRACK LIST: A1 Tziidall Raszhisst 7:13 A2 Rattims Friezz 7:01 A3 Grahbem Jorgazz 4:06 A4 Fettim Paillu 7:45 B5 Quivem Vrastorr 4:22 B6 Mibingvahre 4:07 B7 Angherr Shisspa 6:34 B8 Wammilica Iffirom 8:38 Show more
