For a while, I'd wanted to make a proper death metal album. I'd also wanted to make an album with lyrics entirely in Japanese. So, in January, I decided to take care of both goals at once: I'd make a death metal album with lyrics in Japanese! Of course, it didn't end up being entirely death metal and not all of the lyrics are in Japanese, but it is mostly death metal and most of the lyrics are in Japanese, so...

This is my first album where I used an actual bass and not a guitar tuned down insanely low (for the entire album). Well, if CEADGB and BEADGC tunings count as "insanely low", then I guess all of the songs do have guitars in insanely low tunings, but at least they have bass (at some parts four-string tuned CEAD or BEAD and at some parts five-string tuned CEADG or BEADG). Of course I also used fretless bass, so in some songs there's fretless bass tuned also CEAD and BEAD.

In tracks 2, 6 and 7 there are parts with sanshin. Obviously it's an instrument that I can't play well yet, so I didn't want to overuse it, which is why only those tracks have it and it's not "highlighted" much. In track 7, there's also taishōgoto/electric harp.

Just as usual, I'm not putting any of the lyrics of any songs anywhere publicly. If you can make them out by listening, that's OK, but if you can't, that's OK. I hope they're grammatically correct (and for the most part I'm pretty sure they are, but I've probably slipped up at times), but the lyrics aren't as important as the music itself.
