@scottosan Yup, skoora and I were talking about Asterism on the previous page.
I "discovered" the guitarist when she appeared on Rock Fujiyama with show co-hosts Marty and a veteran Japanese session guitarist. The speed and accuracy of her lead and rhythm playing were impressive.
She was softly-spoken and came across as being really-shy. Then I stumbled upon a live clip of her being an absolute metal
beast, both musically and physically, and I thought to myself, "is
that the same chick?". Kudos to her.
Oh and BTW when they play that song live she nails every single one of those harmonics
perfectly, kinda-impressive to a hack like me.
They formed when they were 11 -> 14 I think and did their first single a couple o' years after that. Started out calling themselves HAL-CA, the guitarist / singer's name.
You can easily hear the improvements as they've matured during the last 5 years or so. I've also noticed that they branched out into unpredictable pop-rock and fusiony stuff as the years went on. I'm old-school so I prefer the metal stuff personally.
