You could also google "Cancrizans", for a more technical term, if you're so clasically inclined, that is the actual technical term I learned for that kind of arrangement.
Unlucky Morpheus is so incredible. It is such a lavish experience to see two lead guitarists, a lead violinist, a speed drummer, a solid bassist, and a powerful female voice on the same stage. They are such a musically talented bunch and one of the most underrated bands out there. If you like them, I recommend "Black Pentagram(live version)" next. Enjoy🤘
The 2nd song Revadac is the same song as the first one but it is played backwards, the video halfway is played backwards too. It’s 2 songs that use the same musical notes
Drummer was from Galneryus, another ridiculous band, well worth a listen. The song is physically played backwards, as in the musicians play the score in reverse for the second half, it's not simply flipped on the reel to reel ;) Definitely a very intense band, Fuki is very much a belter style singer. So many great bands in Japan. And it's absolutely NOT just female. (not discounting the females, all great bands, but you're limiting yourself by not digging further.) The grand daddys are X Japan, and Dir en grey. Worth digging into those two for foundations. X Japan - Kurenai, Dir en grey - Vinushka live, Androgynos version. Then you have newer bands embarrassing the West in heavier hybrid styles, Jiluka, Dexcore, Nazare, Deviloof. These are bonkers bands that push the limits of music. Jiluka - Venom, Dexcore - Skindeep, Nazare - Ideal, or find that the grab the one with the guy with the ventilator mask. Persevere with that one past the chaos, the start might throw you but Mio is an incredible vocalist. Then you have Versailles mentioned in another comment, Faith and Decision is an epic. Absolute masterpiece. And then a couple of curveballs, Neth Priere Cain - Valhalla, DazzlingBad - Antagonism. All just for fun, and a very mixed bag. All may throw you for a loop, but persevere and they're all rewarding.
I was just about to point out Fumiya as Galneryus XD But that's a pretty good shortlist there, there's even two mentions that I actually don't know (not gonna tell which). For obvious reasons I'd add Yousei Teikoku and also Onmyo-Za. But Unlucky Morpheus-wise you can just pick any member and check out side-projects and ex-bands and you'll get a pretty large web of all-awesome music :)
UM are great! Check out "Unending Sorceress." A little bit heavier than this one with Shiren doing some harsh vocals. Yes, they are still current, but doing some side projects atm including Shiren's epic melodic death metal project, Unholy Orpheus, which is very good (Just UM without Fuki.) See their MV for "Undeveloped Land." Also, Hizaki, the guitarist from Versailles, just released a new solo album and features Jill on violin on the single, "Stella Maris." Since Versailles are a Neo-Classical power metal band, you can imagine what Hizaki's style is, since he writes the majority of their music. I'd venture a guess you'd love his stuff (FYI Hizaki is a him, but cross-dresses as part of is artist persona)
You picked out a great Unlucky Morpheus song, recommend Black Pentagram next. Other great Japanese band/songs Galneryus - Angel of Salvation Live (ua-cam.com/video/0IE5HAVaiqI/v-deo.html) Mary's Blood - Starlight [English lyrics] (ua-cam.com/video/NpQ3t1Ep0NQ/v-deo.html) Hagane - Black Cult (ua-cam.com/video/LCheI6-MWhY/v-deo.html)
there's also another all female band formed by the Violinist called East of Eden also anther female fronted 3 piece that has a bassist with 7 strings the female Hal-Ca plays Guitar is Asterism Bassist and Drummer are Brothers
This is 2 songs.. the first is based on a story they read about a place that creates people and turns their reminds into diamonds. So this is about a dead body being turned into a diamond. The second part Revedac is Cadaver spelled backwards. In this the person casts a magic spell on the diamond to resurrect the dead love one. Now musically they played this song throug but then the second song is reverse, they play the notes backwards.
Fuki read a story about the practice of using the remains to make a diamond in Switzerland. Pretty sure I've seen places that do it in the usa also, mostly with the remains of pets.
please react to another japanese metal band called Imperial Circus Dead Decadence they are also incredible symphonic metal band and worth to listen the title is Imperial Circus Dead Decadence - 獄
If you like Nightwish. Check out Versailles Faith and Decision live with English Subtitles. They are Melodic Symphonic Power Metal and Visual Kei. Which refers not to music but Visual style. Bands that are Visual Kei, have a Visual concept. Band Maid... Maid Outfits Aldious... Hostess club Outfits. Versailles... Baroque Era Vampires who wear French Rococo style. This band is all male, regardless of the costumes. Yes the guy in the red dress is a guy, not LGBTQIA, that is just a costume. He dresses like a normally guy when not performing, ot is just a character he plays, like when they used Boyd to play women during Shakespeare time, because women couldn't be actors. Japan had a similar thing.
If you want fir all Female Japanese metal bands. On 2008 Aldious because the first commercially successful All Female band since Show Ya from the 1980s. They have 9 studio albums all of which made the Billboard Japan too 100 albums for the tear they were released. About 80 songs in their Discography, 4 different singers, and not a single bad song. I would recommend doing Aldious Dominator Live Radiant A O East. Dominator is the song, Radiant A is the Album tour and O East is the venue.they are out of Osaka.

there's also another all female band formed by the Violinist called East of Eden also anther female fronted 3 piece that has a bassist with 7 strings the female Hal-Ca plays Guitar is Asterism Bassist and Drummer are Brothers
Jill isn't the violinist for EoE, that's Ayasa.
This is 2 songs.. the first is based on a story they read about a place that creates people and turns their reminds into diamonds.
So this is about a dead body being turned into a diamond.
The second part Revedac is Cadaver spelled backwards.
In this the person casts a magic spell on the diamond to resurrect the dead love one.
Now musically they played this song throug but then the second song is reverse, they play the notes backwards.
Thanks for the background. I knew about the song being played backwards musically. (Cadaver/Revadac) but not about the other info you presented.
Fuki read a story about the practice of using the remains to make a diamond in Switzerland. Pretty sure I've seen places that do it in the usa also, mostly with the remains of pets.
please react to another japanese metal band called Imperial Circus Dead Decadence they are also incredible symphonic metal band and worth to listen the title is
Imperial Circus Dead Decadence - 獄
They classify themselves ad Technical speed Metal.
The drummer of this band is Fumiya and he is the drummer for Galyrnus..see Angel of Salvation.
Yes, the full live version Tokyo 2014 is great
*was the drummer. Hasn't been for years..
I follow their Violinist Jill on Facebook
Note the singer is Fuki, she is also the singer of Doll$Boxx
Played forward and backward
