Hysteric Panic – Cinderella Syndrome (YouTube Ver.)

The fusion of sharp, fast-paced hardcore sound and lyrical melodies is exquisite.

The song structure that makes full use of Hysteric Panic’s triple-vocal setup is superb, and the multilayered harmonies woven by Tomo’s death growls, Tackrou’s high tones, and $EIGO’s clean vocals captivate listeners.

Released in April 2016, this track was also included on the album “Noisy Minority,” released in July of the same year, and its innovative sound—effortlessly transcending the boundaries between metalcore and J-pop—received high acclaim.

It’s a must-listen not only for fans of heavy music, but also for anyone eager to explore new musical possibilities.
