A shocking fusion of high fashion and heavy low-end sound from Australia, "Couture Symphonic Metal"! The debut album "Motivated By Death" by ANA, a cutting-edge band from Melbourne, Australia that is now attracting strong attention from symphonic metal fans around the world, is being urgently released to commemorate their visit to Japan!! ANA was formed in 2023 around Russian-born songstress Anna Hristenko (Vo), who possesses both overwhelming vocal ability and beauty, and Singapore-born virtuoso guitarist Josh Mak. In the same year, they consecutively released the singles "Sirens," "Moth," and "Ouroboros" via streaming, quickly drawing attention with their mysterious world and powerful sound. Their greatest characteristic lies in what they call "Couture Symphonic Metal," a fusion of the visual beauty of high fashion and majestic metal sound. Their original performance style, in which the members other than Anna wear masks, also creates a strong visual impact. Mastering was handled by the renowned Thomas "Plec" Johansson, known for his work with SOILWORK and MAYHEM! This long-awaited debut full album contains a total of 8 tracks, including a cover of "Aerials" by SYSTEM OF A DOWN. Timed to coincide with their second tour of Japan, starting with the Tokyo show on May 8, 2026, "FATE GEAR 10th Anniversary & ANA "Motivated by Death" Release Commemorative Tour," this is a must-have Japan commemorative edition for fans! Includes translated lyrics and liner notes.
