In ‘幽体‘ (Yūtai), Tokyo-based outfit syaraku unleashes a torrent of raw emotion that cuts through the noise of Japan’s alternative scene.
This track, a staple of their live performances, finally receives its studio treatment courtesy of Abyssarhythm. From the opening salvo of razor-sharp guitar riffs, syaraku sets the stage for a relentless journey through the psyche of a dreamer grappling with harsh realities.
The band’s sonic assault is meticulously crafted, with each element playing a crucial role. A serpentine bassline weaves through the chaos, while drums hurtle forward with unrelenting urgency. Above this maelstrom, the vocals rise – less sung than hurled into the void, each lyric a pointed question aimed at the heart of the music scene itself.
‘幽体’ is more than just a song; it’s a manifesto of frustration, anger, and the indomitable will to press on.
