1. | Knife... Knife... |
The intro and verses are composed of heavy rock with distorted shouting, thrashing drums coupled with liberal use of synthetic choirs and organ sounds that illicit tones from nineties to early two thousands Visual Kei groups like Metis Gretel which the band clearly take some influence. Yet in contrast to the harsh feel of the verses the chorus is bright and upbeat with keyboard pieces that compliment the vocalist duo as they provide smooth melodies in a call and response manner. The harpsichord and guitar solo bridge not only piece the song together perfectly but are finely written, providing that older visual kei style that's all but forgotten nowadays. The concept of light and dark that the group are aiming for is encapsulated nicely between the harsh verses and catchy choruses and the theme runs throughout both this track and their first single 『Fantasia-Ideal&Reality-』
The instruments all do their parts well and although it’s evident the song was written with the vocals and synthetic parts, the guitar still manages to stand out occasionally and there’s almost always some form of keyboard melody involved which certainly adds to the vibe of the song. Structurally it's clear which part is which, they all sound different enough to each other and each part transitions well giving the song a nice flow. Overall it's a song that highlights the group’s potential and growth, the singing has improved by leaps and bounds and the use of more electronic and gothic elements is a welcome inclusion. A young and upcoming group with two good singles to their name as well as a penchant for old school visual elements, definitely worth checking out.
