Composer Reacts to Imperial Circus Dead Decadence - Uta (REACTION & ANALYSIS)

[@frankyeichler3303]

The Japanese Metal scene never ceases to amaze me.

[@tijsbeek8590]

Check Yomi Yori by the same band if you haven't heard it yet, also a banger.

[@luca...8604]

as well as fusyoku ressentiment

[@derweeblord]

I'd recommend a doujin group called Elfensjón.

[@derweeblord]

Also check out Elfensjón if you are fan of symphonic metal / alt rock

[@Fushoku]

misogibaraiiii

[@optie5]

this band is so slept on they need so much more recognition

[@heiddithorarinn5165]

I just saw your comment on mr_seiya cuntcrusher video and now i click on this and you're here again seems like we are quite similar

[@DifferentVisionStudio]

Agree bro!

[@Tristan-mv6lc]

Rib:yuhki does most of the stuff in the band, he composes everything, harsh and clean male vocals, makes the album cover art, and he even played the rhythm guitar in this album.

[@kuro5893]

and he is a succesfull hentai artist

[@Tristan-mv6lc]

@@kuro5893 yeah he hasn’t uploaded in awhile but his doujins are pretty good

[@philipp.bernard5267]

well i wasn't expecting this but it was a very welcomed surprise

[@Val-ul5fl]

really glad to see you react to them, it's a pretty underrated band and you did a great analysis! if you're looking to check another songs of them i recommend either fushoku ressentiment or yomi yori kikoyu (not the full name since they're pretty long japanese names)

[@leander3656]

I see...you are a man of culture

[@watchf]

I know their underrated af. And their most popular songs are prob yomi yori or uta but damn their entire album is another level of underated

[@cutietyaan3058]

Fusshoku ressentiment is godlike

[@kanra5022]

They are really rated on osu 90% of the community heard about ICDD simply because the maps are really hard and require tons of skill to play

[@Colrilu]

I'm personally not a fan of screams and the deep growls but I love it in ICDD's works, every time their music gives me chills

[@jackxson6109]

[@couldbeahuman8079]

ICDD is special, they do their genera so well, no one compares in that scene.

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

Was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Such an interesting mix of metal genres. I guess I'd call it symphonic power melodeath? The most fascinating thing is that I'm not sure which element comes through the strongest. If pressed I'd probably say the power metal one, because ultimately I think the melodic elements are more prominent than the symphonic and death elements, but just barely. I don't think any of the individual elements are super original, but they're all executed really well and the mix is unique enough to keep me interested.

[@CriticalReactions]

The delicate mix is certainly what elevates this track a bit.

[@arielfernandez8196]

This track has a very very delicate balance between the elements, but some tracks have very strong leanings to one side or the other, Yomi Yori Kikoyu is very symphonic-y, fushoku ressentiment is very death-y (to me at least), etc.

[@quyphuongtay]

i think the main is death metal, but the impressive sub-genre were power metal chorus, especially female back vocal

[@arielfernandez8196]

@@quyphuongtay really depends on the song, their new album has a lot of very black metal-ly songs, and so did the yomi yori ep for that matter

[@ajariel]

yes! Didn't expect to see this band featured on your channel, a very welcomed surprise. Can't wait until you react to 黄泉より聴こゆ、皇国の燈と焔の少女 (I know it's on the list).

[@leonhardtbelgar2468]

Late, but all the male vocals in this song are done by the same guy, clean, harsh, narration You are spot on regarding the 3 vocalist thing though, one male, 2 female (one of them is a guest), one female is the lead female vocals while the other is just narration (she has a more prominent role in the rest of the album For the band members, there are only 4 people+1 guest in this album: Rib:y(uhki): male vocals (handles all the screams, harsh, clean, narration), rhythm guitar Hull: bass, orchestration, programming (he programmed the drums, I stated 8mo about the drums are done by a machine), keyboard, mastering Hull: lead guitars Kylie: female narrator Kimiko (guest): female narration (this track only), lead female vocals (this track, which is the 9th track and the 2nd track of the album) Do check out the song Yomi Yori Kikoyu by them from another EP, it's still the same line up, but the female vocals take a more centric role in the song

[@hachikuji_mayoi]

Their songs are definitely kind of a mess just like their name but I absolutely love them for that. Their albums are kind of a journey of very different ideas but at no point do they not sound like themselves.

[@kfirpopilis4846]

I just found this song in my Discover Weekly on Spotify this week and I was shocked how much going on in this song but it still feels organized to perfection so I never felt overwhelmed.

[@ch0bann662]

I think I commented before but still I really want to see a reaction video on ICDD - Fusyoku ressentiment. Great vids keep it up bro.

[@Benobot99]

Super underrated band. I wish this song would get many more reactions!

[@diyfu]

I always understood their name as an Imperial circus named dead decadence, seemed to be the most sense i could make of it atleast... They are also japanese, so it might also be a name translated from japanese, which sounds a bit weird in english

[@Tristan-mv6lc]

In Japanese it’s pronounced imperiaru saakasu desudo dekadansu, so not really. I like the title tho and they just refer to it as icdd while playing live.

[@pugmonzzz]

Eyy I love this band. Gotta be one of my favourite Japanese metal bands!

[@Tsumanne]

Thank you for actually letting a song play through, without interruption, then going into detailed analysis. I came into the JP metal scene in 2005, since then the genre has matured significantly, but it is still mostly underground with little main stream support. There are bands who try to blindly copy western metal (not commercially successful) and then there are bands like this that are trying to find a balance in-between. Thus a "back and forth" battle occurs as the band tries to find the country's take on the style. My two Yen anyway.

[@i7shin207]

Search foreground eclipse and listen to their song too. The contrast in their song is unexpected

[@AduhDhika]

Foreground Eclipse is such an underated masterpiece.

[@fe2rr]

one of my favourite albums, i totaly recommend it

[@orshahar7525]

Imperial Circus have ander song that i realy like cold Yomi Yori

[@leonhardtbelgar2468]

FYI the drums on this song is from a software/drum machine The band dosen't have a real drummer until 2016, with their EP Fushoku Resentment

[@kalle8348]

shuhei has been their drummer since at least 2015, idk what ur on about

[@arcturus0389]

Shuhei can however play Uta and Yomi Yori live, as hes done live drum playthroughs of Yomi Yori (unsure in Uta tho) but hes absurdly good)

[@Azukaae]

6:19 that smile

[@derweeblord]

I am planning on running a small record label in the (near) future and I hope to be able to license their back catalogue as well as their new album for a Western release.

[@CriticalReactions]

That's awesome!

[@springsteenwow]

this band is so impressive

[@koop8711]

please make a video on Yomi Yori (imperial circus dead decadence)

[@Tessegg]

Would really love if you did another ICDD reaction video

[@CharlesEMurphy]

Some amazing talent in there and some passages I loved, but a bit too patchwork and lacking cohesion for me.

[@lastinthequeue9586]

Amazing

[@categorille8330]

a welcome surprise!!!!

[@oemmei7532]

Wow. Finally an honest reaction video. I am really impressed. To the band: I've seen them live. As a professional singer I was anticipating a decent vocal performance, since the studio versions didn't seem to be autotuned that much. Well... It was by far the worst thing I've ever listened to. Both singers were out of sync, out of tune and the male vocalist fell into falsetto when he wasn't supposed to. That's my experience with ICDD

[@CriticalReactions]

If honest reactions are something you value then stick around because that's what I do here. I try to always find something positive to take away but I'm absolutely not going to shy away from talking about things that just don't work for me.

[@theenderclops]

from watching a video of a live performance, i saw this too :( guitarist was good tho

[@Tristan-mv6lc]

@@theenderclops From what I saw of them live what really brought down the vocals was kimi, the female vocalist. But they replaced her now

Cry? Live performance isn't even half the battle. Outta here w that.y

REACT ON YOMI YORI PLEASE

[@progperljungman8218]

Really liked some of the vocals - some growls especially aamof. Also liked many imaginative ideas. Not a fan of the more "pompous" "power metally" stuff and agree on that kind of use of string orchestra being a waste.

[@Benny-fm5ec]

Request: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3LInH14aLapf7M It's another song by Imperial Circus Dead Decadence. The songs by this composer are commonly used in Rhythm games such as "osu!"

It's really hard to hear you talking while the music is playing, and it's not helpful that subtitles were disabled...

[@rolfjamne8922]

Impressiv but that's it. Kind of boring in the end. Interesting ideas you have about the string or clasical elements. If you are into symphonic elements you should go back to bands like King Crimson.(Check out Epitaph the original tape or the Steven Wilson remaster. The use of melotron on this track is mindblowing. I have herd cover versions with strings but the melotron on the original is far better than any Symphony Orchestra when it comes to this song. Id like to get your thought's on that one. There is other melotron songs whith other bands like the Moody blues that later was recorded live with real strings but for me the melotron outshine the string's. Im proberbly just nostalgic but id like to have your thougth's on this. But than again you have to listen to the music. I have comed with some suggestions erlyer as well but never came tru. This is my last suggestion. King Crimson ( Epitaph) I garanti you will love it if dont allready know it.👌❤
