Asterism - Rising Moon REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@kent-oveprestberg3578]

Haruka Noma aka HAL-CA is 15 years in this video. SHE is one of my favourite guitarists since I first heard her in 2018.

[@MrSuperlobo200]

You must the see dawn song of this fantastic power trio , the guitarist HAL-CA is really phenomenal.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

It's actually already in the pipeline for filming and editing....should be coming out soon.

[@jtdg5849]

HIS?! HE?! LOL! I saw these kids in person in LA before the Pandemic. I dragged a couple guitarists with me. We stood not but an arms length away from *** HER *** with our mouths agape in stunned shock. *** SHE *** dominated that stage like any of the greats. Her stage presence is something to behold in person. I only play drums, but watching her handle the strings on that guitar was one the greatest experiences.

[@ellaevansbolt]

Guitarist Hal-Ca (real name Haruka Noma) turned 18 last December, so she would have been only 15 when this was recorded in 2018..

[@andreasdizazzo3239]

We want more Asterism!!

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Just filmed one....should be coming out soon

[@ronlawrence4706]

Love these guys, they are quite diverse, Yunagi(funky), Disperse(proggy) All of their new EP Guernica is quite prog metalish

[@davidornberg]

First here! Nice reaction of one of my favorites. SHE the guitarist was about 15/16 YO when recording this The bassplayer is the same age and he IS playing with the bass live as well. The drummer is 2 YO big brother of the bassplayer. You should check out there livevideos!

[@moreblack]

@@DMiyash248 HAL-CA is awesome, she's covering a lot of legendary guitar parts on her instagram lately, from Zeppelin to XJapan and everything people keep requesting. Asterism just dropped a new EP called Guernica as well.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

@@DMiyash248 Yeah...had my little moment there...

[@mariocaceres5102]

Hal-ca had been one top watch for awhile now. She is a huge fan of Akira from Loudness and you can hear it. They have really progressed in a short time and the newest EP steps into a more mature and prog vein. Still kicks ass though. Buy their records and support these great young musicians

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Absolutely, always support the musicians and bands you enjoy.

[@mariocaceres5102]

@@THEDavidHeretic Thank you sir, enjoyed your review. I enjoy seeing players discussing music from their perspective. Mine is percussion, but I dig a variety of styles and genres. Always hungry for more

[@JAYZIGGY5]

Ok I'm awake now! Jeezus. Love that pinch squealin. Yes please bust out the Conk and show it off! I've never played a 7 string bass outside of a music store and it feels like a harp. Crazy. Also heard the Satriani in that.

[@brucenadeau5920]

CLOSEST to playing a 7 string bass for me was picking up a buddies who was playing the same festival gig as we were and WOW it was so STRANGE for me... I WISH I could play bass with 7 strings BUT I am NOT a great bass player, I hold my own and that is it! I did have a fretless bass for several years and sold it when I stopped playing 24yrs back. David PROPS on the 7 string!

[@brucenadeau5920]

@better red what song is that? I LOVED my fretless, it was my first bass and bought it at a pawn shop. My buddy who taught me the basics of guitar taught me to play the bass as well, and I miss that bad boy... WHY I ever sold it.. My buddy literally STILL trashes on me to this day for selling it.

[@brucenadeau5920]

Hopefully you were on the road when listening to this to help wake you up on that killer drive you have to do! lol

[@JAYZIGGY5]

@@brucenadeau5920 No I had only been awake less than 10 minutes lol. I don't do those drives every day. I was local and just doing Chicago that day. And all week. But I get to go to Cincinnati and back tomorrow. Yay.... 😒

[@danasixty4012]

HaL- Ca is a Deadly Shredder , she's better than most , friends with Bucket Head ,who played a couple of songs on their album .🎸🎸🎸

[@hirot3117]

Hal-ca is girl and she was only 15. Not only that, she only practice guitar for only 5 years (Since 10 years old) They wrote own song at age 15!!!!! Impossible!!!!!

[@kevenbridges9433]

Small correction. Hal ca wrote this song when she was 12 . The group got together that same year . They recorded this on their 2nd EP when she was 14 and shot the video the next year . Still blows my mind . Ow also everyone thinks Hal ca is her stage name. Hal ca is pronounced Haruka . The same as her given name. In japan L is pronounced like ru . There is no L in Japanese. Hal ca is the english spelling of her name.

[@christopherjohnferrer3771]

Haruka one of the most badass teen who can shred. Also check out these girly teens like her: Li-sa-X, Audry and Kate and YOYO.

[@magnuswendin7924]

The guitarplayer is female. Think she is 16 years old in this recording, if not 15.

[@fredbarnes2049]

Holy crap she's that young?

[@stevenrider9632]

OldSkule Nerd called Hal-Ca Steve Via's japanese granddaughter. They don't have a vocalist to avoid language barriers and they worked with Bootsy Collins on their album.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

BOOTSY!!! One of my funk bass influences.

[@obud3777]

Haruka Noma!!! 🎸🔥🤘

[@timgove5337]

Ha great reaction. Glad you sorted it out, Halca on guitar was Barely Quinceanera (sweet 15) when this was recorded (or 14... vid released

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Added to the que

[@brucenadeau5920]

YES, YES, YES!!! A band with their OWN sound to it!!!! Do these guys fall under "J-Metal"... IF so THIS IS HOW you do it! Put your OWN sound to it! Wow I LOVE this so far!

[@fredbarnes2049]

Wow the last song I heard from them there was more of a Satriani feel to the guitar, here I think more Vai. Like Extreme too yeah. That bass is still Flea influenced. Those drums are very punkish/old school sound, Pau or Keith Moon take your pick. But, or maybe because of the different sounds, the feel is unique. Great, and great reaction! I had to look twice myself, to see if the guitarist was a girl. And kudos to you for bowing to a kid on bass!

[@jacobusderottmann1000]

Miyu's basses that I've seen so far were ESP

[@zabriabubakar5982]

There are another three piece rock band TRiDENT-Japan songs Voltage, No Regret...

[@anjizetland-von-kiesel3346]

I definitely get the Satriani gives but also shades of Allen Colllins?? Good job though. Would love to see you play too.

[@waterwalker9600]

HAL-CA is something else isn't she, and saying those brothers are locked in on rhythm is an understatement. ASTERSIM ✨✨✨

[@danasixty5402]

If you like HaL - Ca of Asterism , you'll like VOB Of Indonesia ,3 girl Heavy metal band .live from Rennes France . Playing Killing In the Name Of last year . Check them out , thanks .

[@orion68rubens]

I thing is ESP bass

[@THEDavidHeretic]

It is, ESP made a 7-string bass exclusively for him. you can't buy it anywhere, trust me I looked on their site it's not for sale. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of those, it has a great tone from what I heard.

[@catschoose1248]

2:47 is she only doing the pinch harmonic on 1 string? How does she get such a fat sound?? if you do another video on them, could you demo how it's done?

[@THEDavidHeretic]

You can get the harmonic on one string, while letting the other strings resonate naturally.

[@keithvincent4]

Nice one.

[@mars71mustang]

Do more Asterism

[@brucenadeau5920]

It's VERY tasteful how they are playing and IS it ONLY me, OR does that squeal have a Kim T sound from Soundgarden to it, I LOVE IT!

[@brucenadeau5920]

Drummer is NICELY in the pocket imo, they are all nicely playing their parts and NO one is stealing the role this song, they all play hard! Someone asked me WHY I come here and comment IF the comments are negative... BECAUSE I discover bands like THIS outside the GREAT commentary from you David! IF I don't like it I say WHY, IF I like it I SAY WHY! and I LOVE THIS! Thank you for the ones who requested this, ANOTHER band I get to discover and check more out from!

[@brucenadeau5920]

From an audio standpoint I'd LOVE to know who did the engineering and production on this! Everything sounds great all around from a production value imo. They got the best sound from this band on the track, no complaints on what could have been better here.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

@@brucenadeau5920 Not sure who the engineer was, definitely worth investigating.

[@brucenadeau5920]

@@THEDavidHeretic very well done imo :)

[@brucenadeau5920]

David, I WOULD LOVE to hear you play to be honest, and I BET many more would too! I KNOW I've almost asked you to provide a link to your bands work! For TWO months now I've been curious to know what you guys sound like! PROVIDE US with a link to your bands music for us to check out PLEASE???

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Hey Bruce. I can't do that man sorry, I don't want anyone accusing me of using the channel as a platform to advertise any of my bands or musical projects. I WILL SAY, however, that a few people have found at least one of my bands by using Google. How they did this, I have absolutely no idea...but they did confirm it with me. If you manage to find one of them, and you ask me, I'll be honest and confirm it....just do it on the downlow, that's all I ask.

[@brucenadeau5920]

@@THEDavidHeretic TOTAL respect AND props to that! I'm an IT guy, I am sure IF I tried to find you guys I could. Once I THINK I do, I will ask in a subtle way. more likely to this come as "Here?" lol. Anyone WHO can message it to me even better! One my way to look.

[@brucenadeau5920]

@@THEDavidHeretic Do I dare say I notice someone who looks 8yrs younger in what APPEARS to be a Misfits T on bass who MAY look like you in a song called "A Cut Above"... IF I am correct, KILLER! Hard to tell at times in the video I have on BUT looks like a younger you when I pause...

[@brucenadeau5920]

NO NEED to confirm, just saw a BETTER view of you leaning into the mic, THAT'S your 7 string bass on there dude! lol THREE Times a 3 string bass has come up today for me, first on your channel and a project called Ayreon... NO WAY in hell would I have thought that was your sound, I was expecting older metal, NICE sound!

[@THEDavidHeretic]

@@brucenadeau5920 Close....wasn't a Misfits shirt. It was a clothing brand called Sullen. We were working on an endorsement deal with them, unfortunately it fell through. The official music video is cool and all...but live is where you really see us at our best.

[@grantg98]

And as I'm sure you know by now, the guitarist is a girl, not a boy. But fantastic chops for being so young.

[@stimproid]

If anybody ever tells you that you play guitar like a girl....take it as the utmost compliment 🤘😄🤘. Speaking of girls....Are we going to see more BAND MAID on the channel soon?

You should do "Jesus Christ Pose" by Soundgarden. Great tune.

Already in the que, added your name to the requesters

[@brucenadeau5920]

Oh this is a NEW band for me... Let's see how this one will be!!!! Crossing fingers!!!!

[@brucenadeau5920]

Oh a NW fan is part of this request... It MUST be good, come on NW fans this better BE good! lol

[@mikellanas1207]

Great technical ability, musical, but I was hoping for vocals.

[@jmetallover]

Hey try them LIVE in a small club (Child Labor Laws limited where they could play) Dawn (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKa0gal_g6-Wd5I). Shot on a fan-cam but excellent video (front row) and audio. You see the string work and Hal-Ca and Miyu are awesome in this video!! No one blends Metal/Rock/Jazz like these kids and until recently they were fan supported (fans get the 1st album "Ignition" going). My only worry is they signed with Babymetal's label and I worry they will saddle them with a vocalist and limit their creativity as they are a trio in exchange for wider exposure and larger venue performances.

[@brucenadeau5920]

@@jmetallover ... NW Army as well with your name? NEW NW fanatic here myself, LOVING them! I noticed your name mentioned in the credits as a Requester... IF I was right and a NW fan also, I KNEW this had to be good! lol. NW Army as I can see does not go towards bad bands :)

[@jmetallover]

@@brucenadeau5920 Dead on been a NW fan since early 2000's and the Dutch Siren a/k/a the Valkyrie Goddess of Metal is a gift everyone should enjoy. With Marko gone I worry the band will not be the same as his vocals, playing and stage presence will be hard to duplicate. Anyway, NW, Asterism and Lovebites (all female metal band) are in my top 5!! If you haven't yet had the pleasure of the insanely talented petite models try Scream for Me LIVE (kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4DKZZqsiLqgedE) the guitar duo of Midori and Miyako are unmatched especially LIVE. Thanks for giving Asterism some love, they have been a hidden gem for quite a while.
