Background information about 'Earth Nation'

When RYU from the cyber-trance metal legends BLOOD STAIN CHILD decides to break free from genre constraints, magic happens. "Earth Nation" represents the inaugural international release from his ambitious new project FIRST CONTACT, and what a stellar debut it is! This isn't just another metal album – it's a cosmic journey that defies categorization, blending progressive rock architecture with crushing metal hooks, expansive synthesizer landscapes, and cinematic atmospheres that transport listeners to another dimension.

The album showcases RYU's vision of boundless creativity, featuring an impressive lineup of collaborators. Sawa, the powerhouse bassist from Japan's all-girl metal sensation Aldious, brings her thunderous low-end prowess, while vocalists MaoMao and TanTan deliver both smooth, ethereal passages and soaring anthemic moments. What makes "Earth Nation" truly special is its seamless flow between vocal-driven epics and breathtaking instrumental masterpieces that let the music speak for itself. From the atmospheric "Prologue" to the climactic "Final Destination", this is progressive metal at its most adventurous and emotionally resonant.

For fans of:
Blood Stain Child, Aldious, Devin Townsend, Haken, Between The Buried And Me
