REVIEW

Second album from Sendai-based solo artist Byakusyn.

Influenced by ’90s visual kei, 2000s nu-metal, and modern post-metal/post-rock/blackgaze, this dark, heavy instrumental release balances crushing riffs, melancholic leads, and ethereal clean passages with masterful guitar work. Odd time signatures add tension and flair throughout.

Standout tracks include “fukuro no niwa,” where technical sections erupt into Insomnium-level melancholic leads, and “suiu,” with groovy Deftones-style riffs. A thrilling listen not just for shoegaze fans, but for headbangers and prog enthusiasts alike.
