H.L. Rarely enough I discover metal, which is unusual for me. RYUJINBAND is such a precious find. Wild melodic death metal plus power metal, folk instruments and strong Japanese influences results in a thrilling combination, like a Nippon version of Children of Bodom. Some songs are rather fast and wild ("Dragon, Fly Free"), others are catchy and anthemic ("Saigo No Hoshi"). A fascinating album which spreads positive vibes and brings me in good mood! Favorite track: Saigo No Hoshi.

This might be the band that displaces Metallica as my favorite heavy metal band! It's heavy and has social commentary, which are my two favorite things in music. flannel_bear
