Happy Birthday Andromeda18_

[Andromeda18_]

Basilisk has one of the best openings in recent years. How is the rest of their music?

Personaly, I like the rest of their music quite much, with the exception of one or two songs. The group has 2 lead singers a male and a female which results in a great and unique combination. I went to their autograph session today and they all signed my 2 albums. The guys looked a bit weird because of the make-up but the girl was really beautiful and very nice. I mean, they were all nice, even if one could tell they really wished they were elsewhere, but she was nicer than anybody else.

Here's some info on them:

ONMYOZA has male and female vocalists fronting the band. Their song lyrics, characterized by classical Japanese words and expressions, reinforce the traditional
Japanese cultural image the band projects. Concepts of ? movement and stillness ?, ?darkness and light?, ?resilience and yielding?, are typically explored in the music. Wearing traditional costumes typical of the Heian Period a thousand years ago, the band produces haunting melodies of great passion and elegance.



The music and the image of the band seem curiously mismatched at first, but an exquisite sense of balance effectively harmonizes apparent contradictions. Their music ranges from pop to hard rock. They have made a big impact in the two years since formation, thanks largely to their dynamic concerts.

Once seen in concert, fans never seem to tire of Onmyoza. Underlying their own claims to this sort of loyalty from their followers is a natural confidence in their music and performances. The band?s track record provides conclusive proof of their enduring popularity. The band members are all fine musicians in their own right.

and here's the website of the store where I bought their albums for $12: http://www.atomicclub.com/cgi-bin/atomic
