Samurai metal band RYUJIN have released a video for their new single Gekokujo, taken from their upcoming self-titled album.
“In Japanese history, gekokujo refers to the act of a lower-ranking person politically or militarily overthrowing a higher-ranking person, violating the social order, and seizing power,” explains frontman and mastermind Ryoji Shinomoto. “I would say the song is Japanese horror folk metal. The music video also depicts Japan’s unique horror. Enjoy the dark side of RYUJIN too!”
RYUJIN is due for release on 12th January 2024 via Napalm Records, available to pre-order HERE.
