Dazzle Vision are a band from Tokyo, Japan and “Kirari” is their forth studio album filled with tasty metalcore songs, Maiko – their female singer and songwriter, Yu – guitars, Takuro – bass and Haru – drums, managed to delivered an energy full, pumping and more colorful material than most of the actually trendy metalcore products from the market. Maiko growls, screams and sing, Yu catches a few good riffs and exciting themes while the rhythm section is balanced and offered solid bases. But most of all, Dazzle Vision write a few exciting themes and good songs.
Formed in June 2003, Dazzle Vision construct on hard rock and heavy metal bases inserting explosive emo/screamo and metalcore elements. In 2006 they toured all around Taiwan, met with good reviews at Spring Scream 2006 an outdoor music festival there, and subsequently released their first album in Taiwan on the waves of the tour’s success. They released their first album “Origin Of Dazzle” in November of 2006 followed by a tour of Japan. Their second album, “Camellia Japonica” was released in April 2007, “Origin Of Dazzle” was re-issued in 2008, followed by their third album, “Crystal Children” in November 2008.
“Kirari” originally was planned for a late 2010 released, but its launch was delayed till June 3, 2011. Powerful and soft, sometimes even quite pop-like moments, subtle acoustic layers and explosive furious nu-metal and metalcore explosions are crossing over and merged into their music, it’s a groovy and exciting construction, very breathing and alive.
Popular in the Japanese indie scene for their hard rock sound and Maiko’s alternating melodic/death-voice vocals, Dazzle Vision might step forward with “Kirari” to a world-wide popularity.
