about

The 1st full-length album by Tokyo-based Post-Black Metal band, Asunojokei that previously released on CD and LP. The 1st full-length album, "Awakening" creates a strong character for Asunojokei's sound, gazing to the deep atmospheric black-metal abyss. The melodies, the emotional screaming, a lot of experiment sounds, and everything blended as one stunning album!

"The first full album of Asunojokei, "Awakening" is based on post-black metal, but with a lot of experimentation. The members' unique approach to finding common ground and creating sound has resulted in music that is innovative yet pure. The artwork by Japanese-style painter Choji Beniko resonates with the music and enhances the nobility of Asunojokei's sound." - Asunojokei

Island

I never liked the screaming vocals of black metal... HOWEVER, this album changed that. It's blackgaze with a touch of J-pop into it, and it's one of the most pleasent combination. The lyrics are disjointed and abstract but are meaningful, lots to deconstruct here. Sudis___

I have already talked about my love for Asunojokei, but it is still as strong. The screaming and whining on this album is especially good, Asunojokei continues to impress me. egomelancholy
