Yes we are already preparing for the new release!
-Even though we just released “The Best Of” album in June.
The artwork is in the making.
It’s still a sample image, but this is probably what our next album will look like.
(Drawing done by cd.animation – Thank you very much! Check out his stop motion moviesπ)
“Coming Back Alive” – our straightforward super fun 1980’s style hard rock album – with strong Christian messages.
We are wanting to release it as soon as we are ready…
But we need your help here.
How are we going to release it?
Do you know of any record company that can release Japanese Christian rock???
If you remember, we released our last album (Nabeshima) from a relatively small record company in Europe. But we don’t want to do that this time. (Ok music business is tough!)
Our understanding is, the music industry is basically dead (specifically for rock music) and there is no room for a Japanese band like us.
We are a band that is standing in a very unique position. (musically, spiritually, socially)
We have to carve our own path. Because no one can define success for us. (Only God can)
We are trying to do it in the right way. We need God’s guidance. At the same time, we ask for your advice.
This album is special. We never forget the support we received last year. That helped us keep going and make this album. We will put “Thank You List” on this album inner cover.
Thank you for your prayers.
We can’t wait to share the music with you soon. (So much work to do!)
Can we release it in late 2024, or early 2025?

I love the artwork,especially the silhouette of you 3 against the fire.I greatly anticipate this album.I hope it will be like a Christian Earthshaker.I suggest you contact maybe Vision Of God record label or Rowe Productions (Steve Rowe who did Mortification).Also Pastor Sam Hug of Swiss Metalchurch.They may be able to help and advize.I will keep checking your site ,by the way I was very impressed with that white Bacchus guitar you toured in US with this summer,I am glad you described it in detail in your last post.Blessings.Jon Of Aqaba Gulf.
Hi Jon. Thank you. You were there when I was working on the guitar tracks!π I think this album sounds like some of the early Earthshaker albums. Maybe it sounds a little “raw” for modern standard but it sounds like 1980’s hard rock record! Thank you for all the information and advice. We keep in touch!
