Trauma techno rock group URBANGARDE has revealed the details of their upcoming new single, Akumade akuma, due for release January 4th, 2017. It will be the band’s first non-album music release in over four years.
Band leader Matsunaga Temma declared the mission of the new song, “This is URBANGARDE. We’re releasing a single after four and half years. Surprisingly, during the last few years that we didn’t release any singles, humankind has gone extinct. The era of social media has dissociated human lives and divided them into angels (tenshi) and devils (akuma) … To those of you who used to be human, to those who live insecure days like ghosts, we will show your true shape through music. You are devils to the very end.”
Akumade akuma will be available in two editions. The Regular Edition is CD-only and contains four tracks. The Limited Edition is CD + DVD, with the CD containing two tracks and the DVD containing the music videos of Akumade akuma and Femme Fata Fantasy, the dance video of Akumade akuma and live performance footage from Utsu Fes at TSUTAYA O-EAST.
URBANGARDE's new promotion image for Akumade akuma was shot during their photo sessions for this year’s “URBANGARDExTRMN” photo book, which captured the band members in colorful costumes and androgynous makeup.
