Re-rise

Re-rise is a fulfilling work on which Blindman, layering fluid, beautiful guitar work, rich melody and supple rhythm, again powerfully reaffirmed its character as melodic hard rock. True to its title, it is a record clearly conscious of the band’s new restart. While firmly keeping a sure weight, it carefully draws out the rich expression of the singing, creating heated, sure drama in each song. A more powerful record. While firmly following the European melodic-hard-rock style, a delicate, rich songcraft particular to a Japanese band strongly appears. Tatsuya Nakamura’s fluid, lyrical guitar powerfully drives that world. Content that valued the appeal of the singing itself above all, rather than merely flaunting flashy technique. A record letting you fully enjoy a Japanese, rich melodic sense, on which the showcases of outstanding technique and the rich afterglow of the singing connect extremely naturally. A sure fullness and power worthy of a restart can be felt. An engaging record that powerfully reaffirms Blindman’s unchanging appeal — a record where the band’s comeback shines.
