The first track from their 6th full-length album, “Transcendence.” As the song progresses, the interplay of stillness and motion, darkness and light, is exquisitely expressed.

The call-and-response choruses by each member are incredibly powerful, making it a track that embodies the very essence of raw, initial impulse.

Beyond the raging wavesBRAHMAN

“Bonbai,” BRAHMAN’s seventh album, released on February 7, 2018.

This is the eighth track on the album.

As the title suggests, it’s a storming, relentless song.

The shouted cry of “Dotō!”—as if pouring one’s soul into a single roar—is fantastic! Amid all that intensity, the key melodic lines are delivered with real melodiousness.

The tone of the guitar solo that rings out midway through the runaway sound is incredibly stylish.

Nervous BreakdownBRAHMAN & EGO-WRAPPIN’

SURE SHOT, an album by BRAHMAN & EGO-WRAPPIN’, was released on May 19, 2010.

This track is the third on the album.

A bass that growls low, as if ready to bolt at any moment.

Drums that keep looping provocatively.

It’s a song that grabs you from the very start.
