Rising Japanese rockers NEMOPHILA have been dubbed “an energetic heavy metal tour de force” by Metal Hammer, “kickass” by Distorted Sound, and band of the day by Maximum Volume Music due to their “bone breaking riffs and beaming positivity”.

Now, the wait for the band’s debut full length album is almost over! It has been announced that NEMOPHILA’s first studio album REVIVE will be released from our friends at JPU Records on CD from 14 January 2022. It's available to preorder now. The release will also include English lyric translations and romaji transliterations, allowing international fans to enjoy the lyrics regardless of their Japanese language abilities.

Since forming in 2019, NEMOPHILA have been releasing singles and updating their YouTube channel with live performances, music videos and covers of their favorite artists, leading to their channel passing 23.5 million views in a short time. Upon announcing the domestic release of REVIVE, NEMOPHILA also announced their first solo headline show in Japan, at Tokyo’s 2000 capacity LINE CUBE Shibuya, which sold out immediately.

REVIVE contains a total of 11 songs, including five tracks from NEMOPHILA’s first single “OIRAN” and third single “DISSENSION”, along with six brand new songs. It also features “OIRAN” and “Life”, two of NEMOPHILA’s most popular releases re-recorded and remastered. The album has been mastered and engineered by Jens Bogren, founder and owner of Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Sepultura, Dimmu Borgir).
