defspiral’s Dive into the Mirror

Release

by Leela McMullen, posted February 10, 2011

defspiral, previously The Underneath, certainly know how to make an impact when re-taking the stage.

Theme song for “Kamen Rider Dragon Knight,” defspiral’s first single DIVE INTO THE MIRROR is an action-packed rocker you can easily dance to. Driving a great beat throughout, constant drums, and a prominent bass line set the club scene while retro guitar has you rocking out–and letting loose some wild air guitar as MASATO’s solo accelerates into a wailing beast! This single is strongly reminiscent of the band’s previous incarnations, but there’s definitely a little something more in the rhythm section that ups the ante into a new and improved sound. Incidentally, the music video for this track is a must see.

The offside is a typical rock ballad, vocalist TAKA’s mature timbre easy on the ears but never rolling over for the instrumental faction. Combining a solid rock sound with pleasing melodic line, “Innocence” is a rare track in this day and age.
