Just found them a couple of hours ago, and have already bought all 3 of their albums!!
Whether you want to call it Power Metal, Cheese Metal, Nerd Metal, or whatever, it's a nostalgic mix of 80s synths, 80s stadium rock, and modern power metal, all with more than a hint of the nerdiness of 80s computers, manga, fantasy. And just fun listening!!
Tell me you're not smiling and nodding away, or tapping your toes while listening!!
Let me introduce....
BEAST IN BLACK
One Night In Tokyo
Bella Donna
Both taken from their 2021 "Dark Connection" album.
Talking about lyrics. There is some very interesting music with the voice used only as a musical instrument (without words).Of course the people who laboriously transcribe the entire lyric sheet to a song are doing their homework. But as a musician I have to note that a song is a package deal: the lyrics and the music complement each other. Either one by itself might not grab anybody's attention. There are not very many songs that can stand alone as poetry. And even if they could, don't lose track of the fact that probably the majority of the inhabitants of this planet like music, but poetry has a very small fan base, particularly in the USA. Judging by the traffic on poetry websites, it's been estimated that more Americans write poetry than read it.
So if you want to turn the members on to one of your favorite songs, put a little effort into it!
