It opens with the high-octane “Street Demon” and it is followed by the spitfire “Elixir” and “Amagi Goe,” the latter of which is a masterclass on electric guitar.
Other electrifying tunes on the project include “Whiteworm,” which was influenced by his time in Latin America, the edgy “Inferno,” as well as “Devil Take Tomorrow,” where he praised his live audience for being “fantastic,” and rightfully so.
After the lengthy yet impressive “Kaeritakunatta Yo,” it closes with the upbeat “Hyper Doom” and the infectious “Stigmata Addiction,” which has a retro vibe to it.
