Music Corner Week 68: TEARS OF TRAGEDY
/TEARS OF TRAGEDY is a three member melodic power metal band that formed in 2008 and consists of HARUKA (Vocal), TORU (Guitar), and HAYATO (Keyboard). When originally formed, the band only consisted of TORU and HAYATO; HARUKA did not join until 2010. A year after Haruka joined, they would go on to release their first full length album ELUSIVE MOMENT. TEARS OF TRAGEDY gives off a powerful performance in all the music they create with a melodic yet heavy composition mixed with HARUKA’s deeply dominant vocals. TORU’s guitar work is phenomenal when he goes on riffs and you hear the impressive skill he has. HAYATO’s talent shines bright here with her mesmerizing skill on the keyboard.
In their latest digital single “Nonsite”, HARUKA’s vocals are dominant and smooth mixing perfectly with the composition and the chorus just pulls it all together. HAYATO’s keyboard moments are mesmerizing as he just takes over in many parts of this track. TORU’s guitar riff leading up to the final verse is ear pleasing. “Astrea” is a powerful track that starts right off with HARUKA’s impressive vocals and both TORU and HAYATO intermixing the guitar and keyboard make this track flow so well. “Void Act” is an impressive and heavy track that shows off TORU and HAYATO’s skills right off the bat leading right into HARUKA’s mighty vocals then mixing right in. In “Void Act”, it is easy to get lost in this tune as the guitar and keyboard just suck you in and HARUKA’s voice leads the way.
Currently, TEARS OF TRAGEDY have two singles, “Astrea (2017)” and “Nonsite (2020)”; and four albums, ELUSIVE MOMENT (2011), Continuation Of The Dream (2013), STATICE (2016), and their latest TRINITY that released November 2020!
