‘Oriental Symphony’ is the third single in a series Gyze have released to celebrate 10 years as a band. On this single, the band combine the aggression of death metal, the energy and speed of power metal and the traditional melodicism of their native traditional music, into a nine minute epic.
Vocalist / guitarist Ryoji commented: “‘Oriental Symphony’ is 100% Gyze metal written by me! We used Gagaku instruments (ancient Japanese music), Erhu (Chinese strings) and this new song is a modern mix with a symphonic orchestra, far eastern folk and cinematic music,”. On the lyrics he adds: “it’s poetically old Japanese. We used many onomatope, like “KIRAKIRA”, “YURA YURA”, “HIRA HIRA”, “SHIN SHIN”, etc.” He concludes: “We had to record this song in 430 khz because of the Gagaku Orchestra. Make sure to listen loud!”
Gyze combine traditional Japanese music with powerful metal to create their very own sound. Neck-breaking high-speed riffs, melodic guitar riffs and crazy solos are complemented by epic orchestral arrangements, Japanese instruments and a traditional folkloric style.
Gyze have earned their cult status through global festival appearances, a joint tour with Battle Beast and the release of three albums (including a Japan Top 10), various EPs and singles. Highly praised by the Japanese media, the band were recently the cover stars of BURRN! Magazine.
2021 will see Gyze push their metallic power and speed further than ever before, whist continuing to sharpen their exotic twists. Expect to see a lot more of Gyze very soon.
