The second album from Japanese Extreme Epic group FIRST CONTACT, the epic new project led by Japan’s RYU, best known as the creative force behind cyber-trance metal innovators BLOOD STAIN CHILD. Free from the constraints of genre, the project boldly goes where progressive rock structures, metal hooks, expansive synth work and cinematic atmosphere collide.

Joining the audio voyage are special recruits Sawa (Aldious), responsible for bass, and MaoMao and TanTan, who provide smooth and soaring vocals when the tracks are not unfolding as instrumental masterpieces.

Out now digitally (click to download / stream), available on CD from 1 May 2026.
