Unlucky Morpheus is primarilly a power metal band, the neoclassical solo is part of the program. Carry On Singing in the Sky for a violin solo. For a violin, a flute and a hurdy-gurdy in a metal band, Eluveitie (pronounced Helvetie) and Rebirth or Aidus. 😉😉🤘
I recommend Unlucky Morpheus Undying Sorceress or Angreifier(live) solid bets. Jill the violinist also does Van Halen , Dream Theater, etc... on violin
Fuki is singing in a Japanese style called Shigin which usually is reserved for Japanese poetry. Its rare for singers to use this style. She has no formal training in this style or singing. It just came to her naturally. Normally it would be the more popular Enka style heard in old Japanese pop music. Do not confuse that with J-Pop as being the same. They're not. Shigin and Enka sound similar at first to an untrained ear who has never heard of Japanese pop songs but both sound different. Yuko Suzuhana also sings in Shigin. She is the lead vocalist for Wagakki Band, a Japanese folk/fusion metal band that are internationally recognized.
Great band that deserves more recognition! For a follow-up I recommend "Dignity of Spirit" th-cam.com/video/x7W9DcUKY_U/w-d-xo.html or "Angreifier" th-cam.com/video/gGKWgM4IOgc/w-d-xo.html (note this one has about a minute of crowd interaction at the end). A few years ago the lead singer Fuki also teamed up with the core members of Gacharic Spin to form the Doll$boxx project; there is one full album and an EP and most tracks have videos, as well as some live performances...well worth checking out. The usual jumping-off point is "Take My Chance" which is a lot of fun th-cam.com/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction. Believe or not, IMO, the most talented musician in this band is the fiddler Jill. Trust me and try these instrumental works of these guys (four of them). It's a project titled Quadratum. Amazing one is Dance of Eternity cover th-cam.com/video/clB3yOKaayE/w-d-xo.html. It's just an insane performance. You said neo classical. They play Far Beyond The Sun cover th-cam.com/video/E2hZDzJp9Pc/w-d-xo.html, and remember that Yngwie Mulmsteen wrote this piece with the inspiration from Paganini's Violin Concerto. It should be played by violin and it is sooooo goooood!! Enjoy!! You won't believe it how phenomenal they are without seeing those performances.
@@jameswolfblood Great!! Jill is a miracle, and those performances of Quadratum are pure serious art. Aha, additionally, one of the guitarist of Lovebites Miyako also covers Far Beyond The Sun on piano as a piano etude and it is a brilliant art as well. th-cam.com/video/3RzRNijnaKA/w-d-xo.html

4 of the members of this band has a side project called Quadratum. They play instrumental covers. Jill the violinist playing EVH Eruption as an example. They have their videos on Unlucky Morpheus TH-cam channel. The album they made is more then awesome!
FUKI has an INSANE vibrato. Check out BLACK PENTAGRAM live - th-cam.com/video/RUiRlUGMTwY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=a93gS_yAJSMjR3Gi Also, see FUKI with DOLL$BOXX, a GACHARIC SPIN side project. Try TAKE MY CHANCE (the video is confusing, but it’s a send up of Japan’s peculiar IDOL scene) - th-cam.com/video/mu2z4Uf9Tgc/w-d-xo.html
One of the hardest working bands in the world. 20 full-length albums, 7 EPs, 4 live CD/DVDs to their credit, plus a bunch of singles. Formed in 2008, have been an independent band since their beginnings. Also, check out their spin-off band Quadratum. They perform instrumental versions of songs like Van Halen's "Eruption" and Yngwie Malmsteen's "Far Beyond the Sun", featuring the violin as the main instrument.
Unlucky Morpheus is a great JP metal band, sick, and i love how well integrated the violin is, which is not common having a violin on a metal (and fucking heavy) song
Nice reaction. Great team. In your free time, check out the band in which drummer Fumiya previously played. The band's name is Galneryus. Recommended songs: "Brutal Spiral of Emotions" (Live), "Destiny" (Live), "Angel Of Salvation" (Live Shibuya Kokaido, Tokyo 2014)
Just as an FYI, the "early 2000 metalcore riffs" are late 90's melodeath riffs (which metalcore heavily borrowed from). Japanese metal traditionally is mainly influenced by Power metal, trash, melodic death and neo classical. Bands like Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Angra and Yngwy Malmsteen (and many more) have enjoyed popularity there. Former Megadeath guitarist Marty Friedman even lives there and is somewhat of a celebrity. That said, the metalcore scene is very much alive in Japan and they're being very creative with it.
I'm aware of those riffs being from 90's melodeath, a genre which I've been into for some 15 years now. However, those early to mid 2000's metalcore acts, were what introduced me to that style of guitar, hence why I refer to it as "early 2000's metalcore riffs', rather than 90's melodeath riffs.
Oh yeah, UM are insanely talented. Jill, the violinist, is a top virtuoso. They do have some variations in their style, but the heavy stuff is their main gig. Check out "Cadaver/Revadac" if you want even more jaw-dropping stuff. "Unending Sorceress" is also top shelf!
I advise you to react to their performance その魂に安らぎを 〜 Dignity of Spirit. It's around 10 minutes, a beautiful song. Look at the lyrics as well. Every member is a beast. The genius behind all this music is Shiren who does the compositions/arrangements. Fuki mostly writes the lyrics but sometimes Shiren does them too. With everyone's skills combined makes this crazy band. ❤
East Of Eden、sokoninaruもお勧め。 East Of Eden / Evolve [Extended Version] (Music Video) th-cam.com/video/gL2GQWhJaNQ/w-d-xo.html そこに鳴る / 掌で踊る【Official Music Video】Sokoninaru / Tenohira De Odoru th-cam.com/video/n7MyoBki9wk/w-d-xo.html
Maybe next time you can do some Galneryus; I don't wanna say Angel of Salvation in Live Version (cuz MV is shorter than Studio Version) cuz is triggered all over the place cuz Syu's amazing guitar skills, maybe a better option to not start with those neoclassical shredding guitar would be Let Us Shine, really any Galneryus song is great unless you hate their style.
First rule about this band is: always aim for live stuff over the studio stuff, really, their live videos are top notch, also sometimes they icnlude some changes like e.g. in Black Pentagram live the neoclassical part of the solo is played on the violin (which used to be really common like 3-4 years ago when one of the guitarists had some issues with his arm and couldn't play live that much). Also if you gonna react to more of their songs there are two you definitely should check out - Angreifer and Dignity of Spirit, and if you for whatever reason want to check out some studio stuff anyway try Unending Sorceress (with music video) or Cadaver Revadac (with music sheet to understand what's going on)

Unlucky Morpheus - Angreifer (Live)
Fuki is such a legend!
The scary thing about this band is their live stuff sounds even better than their album recordings. I highly recommend checking out their live stuff.
Nice bro! But You should check out the live version of the song, and UM is one of my favorite bands, I recommend 《angreifer》 live as the next!🤘🏻🔥
Thank you!
I'll check out the live stuff. I can only imagine how good they must be live! 😀
@@jameswolfbloodhe is right the live is epic and in other songs the violin solos and even dual leads with guitar.
I recommend Unlucky Morpheus Undying Sorceress or Angreifier(live) solid bets.
Jill the violinist also does Van Halen , Dream Theater, etc... on violin

That sounds great quite frankly. Thank you for the recommendations! Far Beyond the Sun cover has me STOKED!!!
