█ GHOST CRIES hails from Japan and their debut album █
█ contains ten tracks and a bit over forty minutes █
█ of extreme metal from the land of the rising sun. █
█ Be prepared for a very rough start and an extreme █
█ bumpy ride here. It will be a ôRuthless Triumphal █
█ Paradeö and surprisingly enough, let that also be █
█ the opening track of the album. The fast riffs █
█ will make you think of a band like CRADLE OF FILTH █
█ or THE AGONIST. The ultra-loud vocals by front █
█ lady Coco could be compared to the wild growls of █
█ ARCH ENEMY or HOLY MOSES, but she can also sing █
█ with a tender normal singing voice, which she also █
█ does in this opening track. ôVolcanoö is the song █
█ that is about to explode next, which has fast █
█ guitar hooks and moody keyboard parts of the █
█ second metal maiden in the band, called Yuka. The █
█ band themselves call their music ædramatic death █
█ metalÆ, which is a good description in my opinion. █
█ In ôGardeniaö things get really extreme. ItÆs one █
█ of the two songs, that the band released in a █
█ digital version in 2013. They became the top two █
█ position of the Amazon JapanÆs heavy metal best █
█ sellers, which says a lot about the popularity of █
█ the band and this particular song. The moody █
█ keyboard parts slowly bring this fast death metal █
█ track to an ending. ôInto The Dark Eternityö is on █
█ next and it bursts out of your speakers with a big █
█ bang. Coco knows to combine this brutal █
█ instrumental attack with her normal singing voice, █
█ which works fine with me. The keyboards play a █
█ leading role next to the guitars in ôRedemptionö, █
█ where fast riffs will burst out into your living █
█ room. The speed changes make this song really █
█ technically and fine to listen to. ôElegy For The █
█ Abnegatorsö is pushing it over the legal speed █
█ limits with blast beats, aggressive vocal outings █
█ and violent guitar shredding. ItÆs the most █
█ extreme track so far and once again Coco knows to █
█ express her normal vocals next to the brutal █
█ growls here. ôThe Ugliest Meteor Showerö is kind █
█ of a weird title, but who gives a damn anyway, █
█ when the music is good? Beastly growls mark the █
█ vocal parts and the drummer sets another speed █
█ record here. ôLunatic Chaosö is the second track, █
█ these Japanese metallers released for their fans █
█ in 2013. This is another fine example of extreme █
█ metal madness. The piece of rest, that you might █
█ be looking for, is there too at the end. The song █
█ is called ôA Cape Of The Prologueö with more █
█ leading parts for the keyboards. ôThe World Is █
█ Overö (and this is the apocalyptic soundtrack of █
█ it!) closes the album. It has many speed changes █
█ and another technical musical approach. It gives █
█ away the final touches of this very surprising █
█ album. If extreme death metal with a touch of █
█ melody is your thing, search for ôMelum Primusö █
█ and be positively surprised! GHOST CRIES consists █
█ of Coco on vocals, Mitchy on guitar, Hiroyuki on █
█ bass, Hyodo on drums, Hayato on guitar and Yuka on █
█ keyboards. The album is mastered by INHALE guitar █
█ player Takahiro Hashimoto, who did a great job. █
