 Onmyo-za is a band that is difficult to categorize. The band members themselves introduce their music as "Yokai Heavy Metal," with yokai (creatures from Japanese folklore) being the subject matter for many of their songs. This however, does not give full scope to the wide range of styles that the band performs, including pop, rock, ballads and their own special matsuri (traditional Japanese festival) style compositions that end every concert performance. Admittedly their music is deeply influenced by orthodox heavy metal, but there are also many aspects of traditional Japanese music woven throughout their compositions... Tracklist: 01. HOMURA NO TORI 02. HOUYOKU-TENSHOU 03. KIRIN 04. YOUKA NINPOUCHOU 05. NUE 06. SOUGENBI 07. ROKUROKUBI 08. OMOKAGE 09. HOSHI NO YADORI 10. MAIAGARU | ” |
