Our Take
Our Take
Ah, AMAHIRU's self-titled debut album is like a whirlwind romance with a Japanese metal princess and a power metal prince from Brazil. This collaboration between Frédéric Leclercq (DragonForce) and SAKI (Mary's Blood) is a rollercoaster of epic riffs, soaring vocals, and cheeky lyrics.
From the moment the opening track "In the Beginning" kicks in with its thunderous drums and shredding guitars, you know you're in for a wild ride. SAKI's fierce vocals cut through the mix like a samurai sword, while Leclercq's technical prowess shines on every track.
Tracks like "WTTP" and "Lucky Star" are pure headbanging anthems, guaranteed to get the blood pumping and the fists raised. But it's not all about the heavy stuff – tracks like "Garden of Asteria" show a softer, more melodic side to the duo's songwriting.
Despite the language barrier (the lyrics are mostly in Japanese), there's an undeniable sense of fun and energy that translates through the music. AMAHIRU have created a truly unique and exciting sound that will appeal to metalheads and J-Rock fans alike.
In short, AMAHIRU is a masterclass in modern metal, blending East and West in a way that feels fresh and exhilarating. This is an album that demands to be played at maximum volume – just be prepared to explain to your neighbours why you're suddenly speaking fluent Japanese.

About the artist
Amahiru
Amahiru, a dynamic duo comprised of metal legends Frédéric Leclercq and Saki, is a force to be reckoned with in the world of heavy music. Their unique blend of Japanese and Western influences creates a sound that is as explosive as it is infectious. Leclercq, known for his work with power metal giants DragonForce, brings his shredding guitar skills and melodic sensibilities to the table, while Saki, the powerhouse drummer from Mary's Blood, provides a thunderous backbone that drives the music forward with relentless energy. Together, Amahiru delivers a sound that is equal parts brutal and beautiful, blending elements of melodic death metal, power metal, and traditional Japanese music to create something truly special. Their self-titled debut album is a masterclass in modern metal, with tracks like "WTTP" and "Lucky Star" showcasing the duo's technical prowess and songwriting chops. But it's not just their music that sets Amahiru apart - it's their infectious energy and undeniable charisma that truly make them stand out. Whether they're shredding on stage or goofing off in their music videos, Leclercq and Saki know how to keep things fun and entertaining, while still delivering the goods when it comes to their music. In a world filled with cookie-cutter metal bands, Amahiru is a breath of fresh air - a duo that refuses to play by the rules and isn't afraid to push the boundaries of what metal can be. With their debut album, they have firmly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the world of heavy music, and we can't wait to see what they do next.
