BAAL
BAAL’s sound is ” Cybernetic Heavy Industrial Rock,” transcending industrial, electro and modern heavy rock styles.
BAAL strives to create a sense of unlimited energy borne from a powerful living body. The band’s sound is created as an original, pure art form, built upon repeated clashes of shattered programming sounds.
On stage, BAAL delivered a screaming emotional set, unleashing a TSUNAMI of sound to create a sense of distortion in time and place.
U-tarou screams out her vocals to exorcize the evil within.
With shouts of anger and sorrow from the depths of her despair, she seeks to overcome her fears while searching for the power to fight on.
MIKITO’s programmed arrangements deliver a sound of devastation, taking the audience’s senses to the limit, while drummer Alan violent beat makes up the body of BAAL.
