Introducing “Popopopopose” by Mr.

Green, a big hit on NHK’s “Inai Inai Baa!” The sounds pa-pi-pu-pe-po have a magical feel that captivates children.

This song is packed with “p” sounds in the lyrics, making it fun both to listen to and to sing.

When people think of metalcore, there are bands with djent-influenced technical guitar riffs, complex song structures, and even electronic elements.

In contrast, HER NAME IN BLOOD’s musical style can be summed up in one word: macho.

They’re one of those bands that blast out a manly, gritty, power-metal-rooted strain of metalcore.

The melodies in their guitar solos have a no-frills character that evokes the lineage of American rock, and there actually aren’t many bands in Japan taking this kind of approach, are there? If you’re a metal enthusiast, regardless of your generation, this is metalcore you should give a listen to at least once.
