Visual kei band XANVALA released a new digital single on August 31st.
joke is described as a "riff-driven fierce track with a catchy modern sound that showcases the colors of XANVALA".
The band members have also each provided a comment about the release.
Vocalist Tatsumi commented:
"The concept for the lyrics is a counterattack. The idea came to me from a movie and I envisioned a scene of oppressed people collectively rising up in revolt."
Guitarist Yuhma commented:
"We didn’t skimp on time, work, or expenses to deliver the best we could and didn’t let anything compromise the quality at all. The only way to express oneself is from the inside out. You put it out to the world, as it is, and people will either
love it or hate it. That’s the true form of art."
Guitarist Souma commented:
"The theme for this work is a graceful villain. I wanted to create a trap music atmosphere, so I researched many evil-looking game soundtracks."
Bassist 70. commented:
"So far, this is the song that best synchronizes the concept with the visuals and the music. It’s kind of a new season of a non-Japanese series with an antihero. Please enjoy it."
Drummer Tomoya commented:
"The antihero of this new era has been born. Check out the badass side of XANVALA."
