The American release of Kongou Kyuubi was my first exposure to this band. The first thing I noticed is the excellent vocals of front woman Kuroneko. The songs vary from hard driving rockers like Kuzaku Ninpouchou to the softer ballad Doukoku. Kuroneko fits her voice to each song, rough to silky smooth. This CD includes a song trilogy with the standout track Tamamo no Mae that would sell anybody on Kuroneko as a top level vocalist. The songs themselves have good melodies and some great hooks. The band relies heavily on standard heavy metal formats, 4 to the bar and major cords. The guitar solos are well done but predictable. This CD is still in heavy rotation with me, it is just enjoyable to listen to. If you are any fan of female fronted metal and want something different then buy this CD. Be warned though, this is a very Japanese band, all the lyrics and liner notes are in Japanese. There are some resources that will provide translations for every song and additional band info. Check for onmyozatheatre.com. to get some links for this. Once you get deeper into the stories these songs are about you will find another world of myths and legends. Well worth the effort.

金剛九尾 / 陰陽座
陰陽座のバンド結成10周年に相応しい、最強にして最艶のアルバム第9弾!! "純度"、"密度"、"濃度"、"彩度"、"輝度"、"硬度"、それら全ての面で一切の死角なしとメンバー全員が断言する今作は、「10周年という節目を地に足を付けて迎える」というメンバー4人の意志を感じられるだけでなく、"傲らず"、"弛まず"、"焦らず"、"迷わず"という陰陽座の基本理念の真骨頂を魂で感じて戴ける会心のアルバム。まさに金剛石(ダイアモンド)のごとく堅固な陰陽座の魂が、その核を一切損なうことなく進化と深化を遂げ、あたかも日本最強の妖怪のひとつである"九尾の狐"の再来を思わせるような魔力と魅力に充ち満ちた作品。先行シングル「蒼き独眼」、ゲームソフト・タイアップ曲「相剋/慟哭」を含む全12曲収録。
