This exercise in a new territory of ideas and sounds, layered with their signature prog-metalcore design proves that Hikari promises to be their most aggressive, yet beautifully executed album to date. Across this album, the quintet has littered throughout and layered in melodically rich and beautiful sounding Japanese instruments; from your kokyu’s, your Koto’s, your hotchiku flute’s, your junanagen’s, your handpan’s, and so on.
