Kaonashi is like nothing I’ve heard before. It’s a bit like a blend of math rock and hardcore. The songs off this album all sound completely different. You’ll Understand When You’re Older is as brutal as they come, but then they have M.O.R.G.A.N. that is a bit more on the post-hardcore side with a lot more clean vocals and even some piano. The album tells a story of a relationship and its falling out. The lyrics are pretty sappy for how brutal the album sounds. The singer’s unclean vocals are very unique, but I dig them. The band’s clean vocals, on the other hand, aren’t great.
First Impression: Pretty cool album. It’s definitely worth a listen or two.
