Visual kei metal legends Matenrou Opera are set to release their latest album, MUTSU NO HANA (六花), on December 18, 2024. Known for soaring high-tone vocals and intricate soundscapes, the band has teased the album with a music video for BLOOD. This track fuses death metal ferocity with traditional Japanese melodies.
With 13 tracks, MUTSU NO HANA features highlights like the commemorative single Suiyoku no Waltz / Apocalypse—first distributed during their 16th Anniversary Live concert in May 2023—and Yami wo Hamu, the theme song for the voice drama Magatsu Note Season: 3. Fans can also enjoy the previously released single Yoake wa Yuki to Tomo ni.
The full album will be released digitally on major streaming platforms.
Kicking off the new year, Matenrou Opera will launch a nationwide tour in February 2025, MUTSU NO HANA: Snowflake. The tour will take their spectacular live experience to 18 shows across 16 cities in Japan.
