Will there be a vinyl release?

[@timothyberg7720]

Man NRW, lots of techno on your label lately, what we call "Bunkermucke" in germany. What does that even have to do with Sythwave???? Its like you claim to have a label that plays baroque music like Bach and Vivaldi, and lately all you can get is Wiener Walzer und Schuhplattler. Not worth my time!!!

[@bungleshitdumpsterass8757]

Love this one. Got me a vinyl and mini disc 🤌🤌🤌

[@VHSDreamsofficial]

Tokyo Rose's tracks were some of the first I discovered during a phase of renewed interest in synthwave that I went through in 2014, and inspired me to create. After so many years and while neck-deep into the Y2K nostalgia movements of today, Tokyo Rose inspires me again. Thumbs up to this duo for giving us this album!

[@jentaro]

OCTANE, SYSTEM SHOCK and Last Dance are solid!

[@cyrenecai]

I absolutely loved every single song on this album. This is not so much "retrowave" as "retroRAVE", and as someone who loved 90's rave techno I'm so glad to see (hear?) new music from that genre. Gonna go replay this now...

[@xerath7278]

Synthrave

[@alexthegreat3078]

Aka dubstep

[@del132]

Is this a sign that we're ushering in a new "retro" sound? Is 90's rave music the main course on the menu now? I'm for it. Let's go!

[@damianstarks3338]

Perfect full album for my Friday off of work.

[@XIIIGaming]

:D Reading this while doing workout!

[@rinzler46]

This album is a classic. A time machine to my youth of the 90s.

[@ElPirato]

I can imagine this in the backdrop of a lot of 90s and 00s anime

[@Agte1234]

Supeeeeer...Prodigy & early 00's trance inspired!!!

[@Labyrinthine_Complexities]

This is everything I need right now. Let's GO!!!!!!!!!!

[@DooMedSean]

Had no idea this released!!!!??? I was raving about Akuma 2 just awhile back it feels like....wishing they would keep it up...looks like they were listening to us! Would be insane if they collab'ed with Deadlife for a track or ep...something...these guys kick ass and to add Deadlife into the mix.....I cant even imagine how amazing that would be!

[@gamecode7121]

Alex and Tokyo have never disappointed. I've said it before as well this is the best DUO. Insane album. Although this feels less retro more like trance which kinda makes sense since Tokyo has left the Retro scene.

[@blackhoundrise8431]

amazing tunes and the artwork... wow that is perfect!!!

[@TranceDeuce]

I have no regrets.

[@devonlord-moncrief9355]

This sounds like music off of the Need For Speed: High Stakes OST and I absolutely love it.

[@DedderzTV]

Awesome Stuff dudez!! and big hearts out to Blood & Chrome

[@pavlouas]

Doomsday = Faithless - Insomnia It's almost the same, just without the synths. :D Generally all the album has a trance vibe, in terms of rhythms, melodies and percussion (beats), which makes it really good, and lets it stand out in comparison to all the rest "synthwave" releases. Well done guys, much love! ❤

[@zynet_eseled]

I'm hoping we get a 90's styled hevay dubstep retro album someday. Like if excision made retrowave in his early 2000's soundscape

[@himmelsrand7527]

This isn't Darksynth or Synthwave anymore unfortunately, it isn't a bad thing they are changing to more of a 90s/00s Rave Vibe, but something i didn't expect from a "Akuma" album or even from something that NRW Records would publish. I loved Akuma 1 and 2 but this is different. I don't hate it, but i also don't really like it either.

[@jamessdavis5201]

Criminally underrated imo. Fantastic. Thank you.

[@m4TTYM4tt777]

I love this effen album!!!!! it's so raw and beautiful pure NRG!!!

[@ActionGal]

love it when you guys release full albums just in time for a sizzling weekend❤️

[@AmberExpert]

Was busy just got to this. Wow amazing music once again Akuma 😍🍓

[@lexxfeldhus3842]

turning my headphones on slowly

[@MikhaelHausgeist]

Different kind of Akuma! For me it is more like hello from 00's and it is AWESOME!!! I like horrorsynth/darksynth and any which sound similar and there are plenty, but I missed whole vawe of 90's and early 00's techno and can't found enough of it now. So I REALLY enjoy this one! I kind a missing vibe of the first Akuma and still hope of something like Blood Oath, but this one... Just AWESOME... Wish a verve and strength to release it for Alex and Tokyo Rose!

[@bills.prestonesq.5905]

Nice. All three have been quality, though I'm still partial to 'Antagonist' on #2 specifically.

[@Chris21963]

ladies & gents. the ear candy is back!!!!

[@Jimoshi1]

Its like im back in time playing MDK, Unreal Tournament and DeusEx for the first time again.

This makes me want to replay Tekken Tag Tournament for some ... unknown reason.

Can definitely hear some homages to Akuma I & II. A distinctly throw back rave sound, definitely captured the essence of a geist in the zeit!

I'm sorry but I can only hear "please dont kill my mom" in Insomnia, and its kinda hilarious amazing album other than that thought

Bruhhh no darksynth?? Wtf

[@rayure01]

j'ai acheté le 1er et le deux aisi que le remix du deux mais la j'ai du mal avec la nouvelle patte musicale

[@Preventorius]

Akuma I was great, Akuma II was a masterpiece, but this... Nah, I'll pass. Completely not my vibe anymore.

[@nightcrawler2884]

Major disappoinment. The first two albums were great dark, dystopian synthwave... This album is a dated-sounding poor man's dance album with a bunch of techno BS thrown in a blender. Not sure why it's named Akuma 3.

[@himmelsrand7527]

It isn't a bad thing Alex and Tokyo Rose are trying something new. But i also don't know why it's called Akuma. Also maybe a new direction that NRW is headed to? I hope not.

[@TheRaon75]

Gotta be honest this is disappointing compared to the previous albums.

[@solunasunrise]

sounds like some crappy 90s techno from a sampler no one remembered ears later .... or playstation game music like from wipeout ....no comparison to the first akuma

[@ASMRipz]

Disappointing, it's just EDM and D&B, not even dark...expected much better from these 2
