Hellen's brand of heavy metal must've been a rare breed in Japan because I have never heard anything like it. With the addition of a keyboard in the band, Hellen takes heavy metal into new directions with keyboard solos and melodies playing the most major role in the sound. In some parts, the keyboard is louder than the guitar, which is rare because it's an accepted norm that the guitar has the loudest level in heavy metal. Hellen shortly disbanded after their only EP, and rebanded almost 2 decades later. However, their legacy of piano virtuosity lives on with this release.
This genre is mad interesting. Never heard very much of it, but it carries a retarted amount of intensity and emotion. The synth in this track sounds Sonic the Hedgehogesque and is all over the place. I dig it.
