Five For Friday 17

5. Malice Mizer- Beast of Blood


The track has a gothic feel from the get go with the hauntingly melodic organ playing throughout with some menacing guitar sounds and chilling vocals
4. Polysics- Catch On Everywhere

I love how quirky this track is, the bass and drums really stand out and the vocals from Hayashi are mad. It's as though your listening to the Japanese version of Alvin & the Chipmunks and not Polysics.
3. Versailles- Aristocrats Symphony

The classical elements mixed with the heavy metal riffs really complement each other well though the classical elements on its own really boosts the song, it reminds me of the style that Opera Metal group Nightwish have.
2. Brown Eyed Girls- Abracadabra

The track sounds really simple and well organised with each the four vocalists taking a part of the song and making it their own.
1. Dragonland- Rusty Nail

A heavier version of the X-Japan song, while the guitar solo sounds out of place from the rest of the song, the vocals sound really strong and the vocalists ability to hold notes longer gives this version a more epic feel, that and it's strange to hear a Swedish metal group covering a J-Rock song and making it sound convincingly Japanese.
