Babel

[Machine Translation] 2nd ALBUMThe band was formed in 2004 with GIAN on vocals and 14 on bass. After a member change, LAAZ on drums and MASASHI on guitar joined the band to form the current lineup, which has completed an original sound based on BIOHAZARD, VISION OFDISORDER, and NEW YORK HARDCORE, with a heavy and aggressive THRASH METAL riff and various other music filtered through their own original sound. The band's original sound has been completed by filtering various music through their own unique sound filter. GIAN, who is also a core member of the band, regularly organizes an event called "INCLUSIVE HARDCORE" and has also established a label of the same name, supporting not only his own band but also various other bands. Every summer, he holds a festival called "Keep on Smiling," which is always a great success. He has also been actively involved in international exchanges, touring successfully with KILLING TIME ( NYC ) in 2007, DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR ( Boston ) and HOODS ( California ) in 2009, and BORN FROM PAIN ( Holand ) in 2010, as well as with AGNOSTIC FRESH ( New York ) in 2011, and with the band "BORN FROM PAIN" in 2012. He has also been an opening act for AGNOSTIC FRONT, EARTH CRISIS, EXTREAMNOISE TERROR, MERAUDER, TERROR, SHAI HULUD, CALIBAN, BANE, IGNITE, ARKANGEL, and many other foreign artists who have visited Japan. He has also participated in big festivals such as "OLYMPIK" and "Heavy Music Festival" organized by NUMB in 2008, "PUMP UP THEVOLUME FEST" in 2009, "FAR EAST RAMPAGE" and "BLOOD AXE FEST2010" organized by B-AXE in 2010, and many more. The band has also performed a two-man show with "ROSEROSE," which celebrated its 25th anniversary, and toured South Korea, and their momentum continues to grow. This album starts with the intro song "REALIZE", which is the proof of their activities and a farewell to the past. BABEL", which is also the title of the album, overlaps the story of the Tower of Babel (*Note) with modern society, and sings about the shallowness of human beings who go mad with desire and frustration by living their lives. It is a song about the indignation and sadness of what is actually going on in front of our eyes. How should we face them?
