Song Production Information
Dance Maniax
The intense barrage of drums, unstable guitar melodies, and stretched vocals....... all these sounds clash together, forming a dazzling world of noise and chaos. As you surrender yourself in the flood of sounds and their speedy feeling, you'll be wrapped in pleasure as your brain becomes numb, and before you know it, you'll find yourself turning into a junkie. This metal number has a ferocious charm, which carries a dangerous shine like a sharp knife.
GuitarFreaks & DrumMania
Kazuhiro Senoo
This song was initially written for DMX.
This time, it will be revived again for the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series.
If I recall, I think this is where my death metal musical taste started.
Izumi's guitar is also a MAD BLAST.
In order to achieve this heavy guitar sound, I asked him to play it by using a technique of purposely tuning the strings loose.
Also, Izumi somehow played the bass for this song.
I think this song is quite aggressive, and I wonder if you'll be able to reach the final explosion sound?
By all means, please have a MAD BLAST with it.
Video Production Information

I really like drawing these kinds of things.
So, I drew them.
The rising tension at that time was the most pleasure I've felt in a long time.
I surpassed that level of pleasure, and entered a world of extreme pleasure.
I was in a mental state that intensely fluctuated up and down,
Captivated by it...
I was often in that state.
I wonder when I'm going to experience that pleasure again?
I want to always be immersed in such world.
Even when I sleep or wake up. Even when I sleep or wake up.
It's been a while since I remembered "myself" during its production.
I enjoyed making it.
