Finnish Metal Guitarist Reacts: Asterism - Dawn

[@outwest1014]

Another super talented protege from Japan. It's not the water, it's the culture and educational system coupled with a work ethic. It's amazing how many musicians and singers started at a pre-school age.

I think that's a great combination (work ethic & educational school system) to make sure that it's possible to make a career from music.

In this video, the guitarist is 16 years old, the bassist is 16-17 years old, and the drummer is 19 years old. They don’t need a second guitarist, because miyu (bass) most often uses a 7 string bass. Not only the low frequency, he also did the rhythm guitar part at the same time, and he had some incredible bass solos on some of their songs, his ability wasn't really brought out on this one, miyu is one of my favorite bassist. And hal-ca(guitar) is my favorite guitarist so far, she not only has top skill, amazing speed, but also emotion, she is already a great guitarist, and she is only 20 years old. Back to this video, This is a fan cam, although the sound quality is not good, but it also represents 0% post production, their live performance is amazingly stable. I recommend《stars》live in studio as the next!🤘🏻

Thank you! Yeah, I think the performance was really on point on this one and the fan cam helped to deliver the message a bit that way for not allowing to have any post production with the live take. I'll add that song to the list for checking in the future!

The first full Asterism album 'Ignition' (2018) is full of relatively traditional heavy metal including this song. Executed at the highest level. Their next two releases, 'GUERNICA' (2020) and 'GUERNICA + a' (2021) were more progressive. Their latest is a Japanese anime / metal cover album titled "Animetic", released on September 9th, 2022. They each chose favorite anime themes to "Asterism-ize". 'unravel', the Tokyo Ghoul theme song is my favorite from the new album. What I love about lead guitarist Haruka (stylized as "HAL-CA"), is that even with all of her technical precision, she still plays with a lot of heart. That really sets her apart for me. The two brothers, MIO (drums) and MIYU (bass) are also top level. MIYU is playing his usual 7 string ESP custom model here, but he will also break out a four or five stringed bass, depending on the. song.

Hal-Ca is gifted. I mean, she was 16 at the time of this video. Amazing.

Oh yes! I agree that her playing was amazing there!

[@glenkelley6799]

Nice reaction. This was about 4 years ago. Hal-Ca, the guitarist was about 16 then (she' just turned 20 last month), MIYU, the bassist was 17 and his older brother MIO on drums was around 19. They've gotten a lot better than this now and have signed with a record label this year (Victor if I remember correctly - and Victor likes to block, so be warned). A very talented trio and just getting started.

Thank you very much! They are amazing players and I bet they're going to have quite a career as musicians.

Thanks for doing this one. The last 3+ minutes, starting from the change in mood and the bass solo, is one of my favourite moments in music. Incredible that it was written by teenagers.

Oh yes! The writing was really on point with this band!

[@Intensive-Care]

You've heard a masterpiece of all time performed by the world's most talented trio, one of whose members is the God-gifted and God-kissed guitarist Hal-Ca. I wish you to continue on this path and never turn away from it. Happy New Year). It was a huge mistake to interrupt the final solo for my comments. There is a timing of the composition. Look at it.

Thank you very much and happy new year!

[@logicbender858]

Congratulation, you finally found the best band from Japan. Next from Asterism is Church (Live Studio) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppzMfIZ4jZ19hqM Happy New Year !!

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@keshanizm]

They are amazing! Too good! 🤘🤘🤘

[@RussInCanada]

Asterism-Church. Asterism-Gunfire. Asterism-Rising Moon.

[@UltraHD.7]

Congratulations, you found the best instruMETAL band around, that barely anyone knows about. This band is incredibly young and talented, Hal-Ca is my favorite guitarist and the two brothers are up there with the best, too. Please listen to "Church" next, perfection.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@Vipppala]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@lurkmerchant]

This, and Church are definitely Asterism's two masterpieces. I love Asterism, but occasionally confuse them with Satriani. Then again, I don't mind it because I'm a massive Satriani fan.

[@parisiennemoonlight6650]

She was probably 16 at the time of this concert and thats not what a 16 year old is supposed to be that good at it.

[@bigmetalglenn]

Hard to admit she blows away every Guitar player on the planet.

[@queenmilenia7620]

You just found the best female guitarist in the world, fun fact is, she just 16 year old in this video.

Oh yeah, they are quite a band! Didn't know that she was 16 years old which also makes that performance to stand out even more.

[@denizozturk1453]

Cool stuff from Japan!

Indeed!

[@davidornberg]

Nice that You liked them. They have lately done som anime covers and had a collab with the Norwegian singer PelleK . But I love their original instrumental songs better.

They are amazing! That collab seems to be quite interesting so I'm probably going to check it out too!

Mikähän siinä on, että nykysin kiinnostavimmat rock/metallibändit tulee Japanista? Band-Maid, Glim Spanky, Shishamo, TRiDENT, Asterism, Lovebites, Gacharic Spin, Mary's Blood, Ironbunny, Babymetal, Unlucky Morpheus, Doll$Boxx, Galneryus, Babymetal, Hagane, Passcode..

[@kip.e3000]

Nemophila unohtui. Onneksi listalla oli mulle pari uutta nimeä.

Hmm... Tuohon on vaikea vastata. Yksi syy siihen saattaa olla ehkä japanilaisessa kulttuurissa ja siinä, että länsimainen metallimusiikki on ollut pinnalla useamman vuosikymmenen verran.

[@zabriabubakar5982]

Bro, LOVEBITES new song JUDGEMENT DAY with their 20yr/o new bassist Fami..... check Fami channel and watch her play bass and do bass covers(viewed 10M++)

Thanks for the recommendation! I just uploaded the reaction to that song! Enjoy!
