Ryujin release new music video for ‘Saigo No Hoshi’

RYUJIN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Saigo No Hoshi, is taken from the Japanese metal band’s upcoming self-titled album, which is scheduled to be released tomorrow.

The new song features backing vocals by TRIVIUM‘s Matthew Kiichi Heafy and cello expressions by Mukai Wataru of the Kansai Philharmonic Orchestra.

Speaking about the new song, band mastermind Ryoji Shinomoto says, “this is our first ballad, so it’s very special for us. This song is about a samurai who was about to die after the war, thinking about his family and praying for peace. A lot of very sad wars are currently happening on the planet too, families are being separated, and so on. I put that feeling into it. Also, I am inviting everybody to enjoy Mr. Mukai‘s outstanding cello performance. The album also includes a version sung by Matthew in English, so I am curious which version people are gonna like more!”
