Album

[Machine Translation] The new album from BULL ZEICHEN 88 has finally arrived. This is the band's eighth album in total, and their first long-awaited album. The band has been consistently releasing SINGLES, but in their sixth year since their formation, they have added three new songs, including the seven title songs from their previous albums, making this album their best album to date. The songs are more voluminous than ever before, but the free-flowing development that runs around as loudly and flamboyantly as it pleases makes the melodious parts stand out even more, and you can hear the ultimate form of these guys, who have always avoided the mold of "normal". The storm of aggressive sounds and chaotic arrangements are just a part of their potential. Their unlimited imagination always appeals to us, the listeners, far beyond what we can imagine. Their presence, which is difficult to describe or compare to anything else, is proof of their uniqueness and isolation, and makes them the one and only Buruhachi. From the beginning to the end, the souls that have walked through the ages, and their past and future are condensed in this work. We hope you will enjoy the upper finish, which shakes our five senses without a moment to catch your breath, by all means.

ついにやって来たBULL ZEICHEN 88の新作。通算8枚目にあたる今作品はバンド自身初になる待望のアルバム仕様だ。コンスタントにSINGLESをリリースして来た彼等だが、結成6年目にして、前作迄の表題曲7曲を含め、新たに3曲を加えた豪華なベストアルバム的な内容だ。いつにも増してボリュームのある楽曲群だが、今作もラウドに派手にと、思う存分に駆け巡る自由な展開がメロディアスな部分を更に際立たせ、『普通』と言う型をずっと避け続けて来た彼等の最も究極形が聴けると思う。 そして時にアグレッシブに襲い掛かる音の嵐やカオティックに迫るアレンジも、もはや彼等のポテンシャルの一部でしかないのであろう。無限の想像力は、いつも私達リスナーを遥かに越えて訴えかけて来る。 何かと例えたり、形容しがたい存在感は逆を言えば唯一無二の孤高の証であり、ブルハチがオンリーワンと言う事なのである。頭から最後迄、時代を渡り歩いて来た魂達、そして彼等のこれまでとこれからがこの作品には凝縮されている。息つく暇もなく我々の五感を揺さぶってくれる、これでもかと言わんばかりのアッパーな仕上がりを是非とも爆音で堪能して欲しい。
