What GC was spinning in 2019 (Part 5)
4) Rinne - Band-Maid
Fans were thought that Band-Maid were going a little soft with the Start Over, Bubble, and Endless Story singles. Their first single off the upcoming Conqueror album proved everybody wrong. Returning to the hard rock sound from the great World Domination album, Rinne combines the bands hard rock instrumentals with a pop tinged chorus.
3)Bismarck - Sabaton
Sabaton's first single of the year was their best. Telling the story of the Bismarck, it is Sabaton at their best. Poppy but hard hooks, a sing along chorus, and Joakim's baritone vocals combine to make an epic song.
2)The Walls - Minna No Kodomochan
2019 was triumph and tragedy for Minna No Kodomochan. Triumph in their efforts to crowdfund a tour throughout their native Japan venturing out of their home base in Tokyo for the first time and releasing a new single for six months. Tragedy in that main lyricist Honoka head banged herself into a severe neck sprain and subsequent retirement. The Walls is what Minna has been building towards since its beginning three years ago a combination of electronic music and doom metal featuring sinister synth work and some absolutely evil sounding guitar.
1) 69 - Migma Shelter
Normally content to stay in the trance and edm genres, Migma Shelter decided to branch out and put some heavy guitar riffs into their 69 single and came out with something that sounded a lot like Ministry. You can bang your head to it or dance to it or do both. It is infectious, up temp, and surprisingly heavy.
