East of Eden are great. They essentially started as a super group of already established musicians that all have other projects/bands, started by Ayasa (the violinist). I second the other comment to react to Evolve (Extended Version) next. That song was their debut and made me absolutely fall in love with the band.
@@HeadbangersGuild It would also be worthwhile to check out the bands that all the EofE members come from. The guitarist, Yuki, is from an instrumental band, D_drive. Bassist Wakazaemon tours with Marty Friedman and KoiAi (although she isnt a member yet). The drummer, Mizuki is from Lonesome Blue. The vocalist, Akane, was previously in a band Predia but they are long gone. She has been doing TV stuff.
This is from their second EP that came out a month ago, the band itself has only been going since last August, though the members are all fairly experienced and have known each other previously through various other projects. The de-facto bandleader who brought everyone together is violinist Ayasa; having started on the instrument aged three, she's now known for playing five string violin (the extra string means extending the pitch & tonal range to that of both a violin and a viola). She's a member of Morfonica (a band from the music based anime franchise BanG Dream! Project), as well as many other support gigs and her own solo career which is a mixture of classical music and anime song covers. Bassist Wakazaemon is an in demand session/support bassist, with some of her other recent gigs including playing in the touring bands of Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth), Ryuichi Kawamura (frontman of Luna Sea, a legendary Visual Kei Band), Koiai (featuring guitarist Hazuki from Nemophila) and Maximum the Hormone offshoot franchise band COTTELEE. Guitarist Yuki is a member of instrumental rock group D_Drive, drummer Mizuki plays in j-rock band Lonesome Blue and singer Akane was formerly the main vocalist in idol group Predia (she was also in a short lived project with the drummer and lead guitarist from Band-Maid).
I was going to comment about the Band-Maid connection, but you beat me to it. The band Akane, Kanami and Akane (dr) played in was call Mochi to Cheese.
I’m very surprised they haven’t been suggested yet. They are awesome for sure. I’d do Evolve (Extended Version) next. It was the very first track they released. Violin is in every song. My understanding is that the violinist is who more or less pulled the band together. Pay close attention to the bassist too because she is an absolute monster of a player and I feel she gets overlooked a bit due to the complexity of their music
Thanks for the suggestion! I will put that to listen to next :) I know nothing about music so would always overlook the bass but I will make sure to listen next :D
@@HeadbangersGuild/videos. I often feel like the bass is maybe a bit too low in their mix. Even knowing how good it is, I sometimes overhear it. What Wakazaemon does in the background of their songs would qualify as a bass solo in most bands.
I CONCUR!!! Evolve (extended version) was their 1st single/MV & the guitar 🎸 violin 🎻 solo is insane!!!!! And they have the BEST BASSIST in music 2day, the incredible Wakazaemon!!!! Other songs to check out from East of Eden include; This Moment, Hanabi, Chasing the Moon and Judgement Syndrome!!!!
If you liked the violin/guitar combo then I'd also recommend checking out Unlucky Morpheus with violinist Jill, they're more towards the metal end of the spectrum. If you want the heavier end of things, I'd start with the official live video for Black Pentagram or the MV for The Black Death Mansion Murders. Four of the members also have an instrumental sub-unit called Quadratum that did a bunch of covers of classic hard rock, metal and shred songs arranged for violin, guitar, bass and drums.
Wakazaemon (Bassist) has done work with Marty Friedman (Ex-Megadeath guitarist) and KoiAi (Hazuki from Nemophila also plays with them + Lisa-X). She is very talented, Yuki is one of the best guitarists in Japan....and there are some elite ones there,. The violinist, Ayasa, is uber talented (And yes the Japanese can shred on violin apparently), MIZUKI is a highly regarded session drummer, who was lso with Lonesone Blue. Akane is an incredible vocalist (She's friends with Asami from Lovebites). Like other Japanese bands they are masters of their intruments.
This Band had a year of existence with 2 EP for the moment. It's a super Band. They've signed with the same label of LOVEBITES. VICTOR ENTERTAINEMENT ( his master voice) a compagny of JVC-KENWOOD CORPORATION. Ayasa in Violin ( she a hugh star in Japan).she's the founder. Musiki on Drums is also in LONESOME BLUE ( same label as well) Wakazaemon ( Aka Waka) on Bass is the most occupied Bassist ( in Koiai with Hazuki from NEMOPHILA) also Bassist of MARTY FRIEDMAN ( ex MEGADETH) and many others project. Yuki in guitare also in D DRIVE ( métal Band with no singer) Akané Minato on vocal (ex Predia popular Idol Band also ex Motchi to cheese with two others Predia+ Akané Hirosé & Kanami Tono from BAND MAID). Ayasa is a good friend of Asami from LOVEBITES, togther the tour with differents Japonese music Stars as violin and Deluxe Chorist for Asami). Ayasa is writer of their songs with Mao Yamamoto ( ex Ligth Bringer Keyboardist. Ligth Bringer was a Side projet of FUKI singer of UNLUCKY MORPHEUS). Mao work with LOVEBITES & LONESOME BLUE as well.
I like this mix of violin and guitar. This is the first time i ever watched or listened to East of Eden and im digging it. Im certainly up for more reactions from you on these talented ladies. One suggestion i would highly recommend is reacting to a Nemophila track called Enten. Unfortunately it is audio only but it's one of my favourite tracks. Enten combines traditional Japanese musical instruments and singing with in your face metal that pulls no punches. Rock on dude.🤘
They are a supergroup the guitarist is Yuki she's from a band named D_drive shes kinda big name on guitars. the bassist i recognise her she played for marty friedman's backing band she's also well known session bassist. The drummer is from a the band lonesome blue. Thats all i know they are related with nemophila maybe thats why its on your algorithm the drummer of nemophila plays with the bassist on session gigs.
If you want more violin & Japanese metal definitely check out Unlucky Morpheus. Unlucky Morpheus also have an instrumental "sub group" they call Quadratum. Their cover of Yngwie Malmsteems 'Far Beyond The Sun' should give you all the Violin goodness you could want. I'd also like to see you get into some older Japanese metal. Check out the bands Galneryus & Maximum The Hormone. Galneryus in particular I think you'll love because their guitarist is right up there with the best of the best. Listen to their song 'Angel of Salvation' for some crazy solos. This will also get you away from just the female metal bands and maybe get some new stuff into your youtube algorithm haha.
They are a super group. Here is another group for you with violin >> Operative speed metal (Unlucky Morpheus) >> "Get revenge on the Tyrant" LIVE >> ua-cam.com/video/rxJj5TQzU04/v-deo.html (amazing) Another out of the world song >>>> Unlucky Morpheus "Cadaver / Revadac" Official MV ua-cam.com/video/_yrNRhIreyE/v-deo.html (your mind will be blown). Just for your info, E of E is a project band started by Ayasa (violin) who is a famous member of the band Morfonica. The band is getting many fans now so they may go far. Yuki (g) is a famous guitarist in Japan and a current member of D_Drive, she is a top tier musician. Wakazaemon is a famous session musician who toured with Marty Friedman. She is amazing. Akane (vocals) is famous for being a former Idol band member of Predia which disbanded in 2022 after 8 years. She was the lead vocal. (side note, Akane knows both Kanami and Akane of Band-Maid because they were all in a project band called 'Mochi to Cheese' when B-M was in its infancy. Both Predia and B-M were in the same management company at the time.) Mizuki (drums) is an excellent drummer and is a current member of all female band Lonesome_Blue. All of the instrumentalists are real freaks on their instruments.
As someone else commented,,watch Unlucky Morpheus Cadaver/Revadac. Full playthrough, the repeated backwards! Also, another amazing Japanese band, Galneryus:angel of salvation live in tokyo, shibuya kokaido 23-11-2014. This will blow you away!
EoE is an amazing band, Wakazaemon is one of my favorite bassists and they really are a Super Group. Have you ever heard of Bridear? They dropped a new album a couple of months ago and it’s fire, check out Still Burning mv, you won’t be disappointed.
By the way, if you want to check out another band that Wakazaemon is supporting, check out. All female rock band. KOIAI -- >>> "A new picture" LIVE official ...>>>>> ua-cam.com/video/rX6SP5bQZH8/v-deo.html It's a band formed by Li-sa-X, a child prodigy and Hazuki of Nemophila (actually, Hazuki was with Li-sa even before Nemophila). Drummer is Kanade Sato (another child prodigy, she is a Fusion Jazz drummer who can play anything.)
And by the way, since you love rock and metal, here's a small suggestion: listen to this singer 【LIVE映像】unravel 日本武道館 2023.8.30【Ado】 (I guarantee it won't be boring.)
Two artists I can recommend are Japanese jpop band ATARASHII GAKKO song tokyo calling and argent metal solo artist K1LLED. somg KXXL U DXXD. be interesting what you think of them both.
I am surprised that no body had recommended this band to you. I do not recommend bands because I always though they were already recommended. One band I used to recommend alot is WHiskey Dust but no reactors seem to be interested in checking them out. It is a shame really because they are a kick ass Hard Rock Japanese band that will take you back to the days of GNR, van Haeln Motley Crue and the like. If you are interested here is a link to one of their songs. they also do a great cover of Motley Crue's Kick Start My Heart. ua-cam.com/video/Tl4Sp4lj-us/v-deo.html
I know your mainly looking for new metal bands to react to. But are you open to check out a fellow country man of yours? He is verry versitile and has alot of talent, to get to know him tho it's best to start with Ren - Hi Ren. Think you are going to like that one. Hope you had a great day and are doing good.
It is absolutely insane how many of these Japanese female metal/hard rock bands are out there. Most of them are totally fabulous though I am partial to LOVEBITES. There's a Korean band named Rolling Quartz which are very good. Their latest is Victory, maybe check it out.

When the lead guitar is a violin... I'm not sure about the extra dancers. I guess they add some movement, interest, and a little bit of creepy factor.
