Nabeshima is back on streaming platforms!
(Spotify, Amazon, Apple Music – possibly it takes some more time for other platforms.)

Back in 2021, Nabeshima, a very special double album of ours, was released from a heavy metal label based in Latvia (Sliptrick Records). It was a good experience for an indie band like us. It was not a rock star deal but they were good people willing to help indie musicians.
Now after several years, we decided to handle this album on our own. We had to set things up and that is why “Nabeshima” was removed from music platforms for a moment.
For a band like us who are willing to do everything independently, it feels good to have our publication rights back. Now all the sales and revenue from the album directly come to us.
For some technical reasons, we had to upload Disc1 and Disc2 separately. (Nabeshima is a double album, consisting of 2 CDs and 24 songs!) It might cause some inconvenience for some listeners and all we can do is to say we are sorry. But we feel good because now we can show you the alternate album cover for Disc 2.
(We don’t have control over those major streaming services but we have control over our music on Bandcamp. Let us know if you experience some trouble.)
“Nabeshima” was a very special album and it still is. We have felt the power of these songs when playing live in the past 3 years. The songs on Nabeshima became a mainstay and the highlight of our live shows. We played “Passion”, “Lord’s Prayer”, “God Anthem”, “Crucified Boy”, “Sonic Soldiers”, “The Garden”, “Redemption”, and “Not Of This World” – all of them frequently. We also played “Sakura Day” for acoustic sets.
Now 3 years later, we are finally ready to release the next album “Coming Back Alive”.
The first song “Above & Below” will be released soon on December 13th.
We will release as many as 5 singles in December/January, and the album will be released in February. (Planned on February 7th, 2025)
We already have 3 music videos finished and ready to go.
They don’t disappoint. This is a fun album. It will be a happy time for all of us.
Please be excited and stay tuned!
