DEVILOOF // Devil’s Calling/Angel’s Cry: The story of love that I vow to die for

雪 (Yuki) 3 August 2025 No Comments 🌸 DEVILOOF 🎵 ラウド系 (Loud Kei)🎶 metal 🎶 metalcore

Despite being released in August of 2020 and now being considered an ‘older work’ from the group, the “Devil’s Calling/Angel’s Cry” single from DEVILOOF contains two very interesting songs that are connected to each other in a very interesting way.

In this review 雪 (Yuki) takes you deeper into the single to hopefully let you see these two songs in a different light than you might have originally.

✨ Review 🎵 ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) 💿 Album

DEVILOOF // Devil’s Proof: Bare your fangs and go wild

雪 (Yuki) 1 June 2025 No Comments 🌸 DEVILOOF 🎵 ラウド系 (Loud Kei)🎶 metal 🎶 metalcore

DEVILOOF released their very first full album “Devil’s Proof” in November of 2017 already, and ever since it has continuously made appearances on 雪 (Yuki)’s playlist. Sometimes in full, sometimes a stray song. With the band signing to the major label Tokuma Japan in 2023 their first release under that label was either a massive hit or a massive disappointment – depending on who you ask. And with the release of their song “因習” (Inshuu) in late January of this year, 雪 (Yuki) actually saw something that made her think of “Devil’s Proof”.

So here it is, the long, long overdue deep dive into DEVILOOF’s first album, which really showcases the combination of ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) and J-Metal!

Z CLEAR // サイン (Sain): I’d rather love than be loved

雪 (Yuki) 2 November 2025 No Comments

After the release of their single “広島” (Hiroshima) in late December of 2024, Z CLEAR have released not one, but two new singles: “ぶちROCK” (Buchi ROCK) in April and “サイン” (Sain) in July. That last one is a one-track digital single, but does come with a music video.

“広島” (Hiroshima) already had a strong power of attraction, but this new single is definitely a sign that the group is on to something! It’s power attracted 雪 (Yuki) once more, so she took a closer look at the single and accompanying MV, and is ready to tell you all about it in this review.

OPHELIA // Proof that I am alive here and now

雪 (Yuki) 24 October 2025 No Comments

OPHELIA is a brand new visual metal band based in Tokyo, Japan. And even though the band only has one official member, there are quite a few interesting aspects with this project.

More than enough reason for 雪 (Yuki) to ask vocalist 煉華 (Renka) for an interview to learn more about his band, inspirations and of course the very first single “薄明” (Hakumei)!

NETH PRIERE CAIN’s single “神の啓示、月光の聖女” (Kami no Keiji, Gekkou no Seijo) may have been released in February of this year already, but the single tells an interesting story of contrast that we do want to share with you.

For that reason 雪 (Yuki) took a closer look at the single and the music video for “オルレアンの少女～la Pucelle d'Orleans～”, and she’s now ready to tell you all about them in this review!

Following the online success of their first single and music video for "Breed", SLEIPNIR played their very first live show in TIGHT ROPE 名古屋 (Nagoya). But, if you didn't see their online presence until now, you're probably wondering: "Who are they?"
