Edge of the Knife Front Cover

A spark in the wire, a pulse in the night

I keep sending out my sound, hoping it finds the light

Every time I upload what I feel inside

Something hidden turns the ocean into tide

I try to climb up through the noise and the haze

But the gatekeeper chooses what it lets through the maze

Still I craft my truth with steady hands—

Small steps echo farther than they ever planned

Headwind blowing straight into my face

But I keep walking, keeping pace

Algorithm, you’re holding back the sky

But I won’t bend, I won’t let my colors die

One day you’ll shift, and the wind will finally lift—

Till then I push, even in the drift

Right now… I hold the line

Trends rise fast, and fade even faster

But I learned real art doesn’t bow to the master

A quiet spark can cut through the night

It just takes time for truth to burn bright

So tonight again I build my sound

A single voice that still can shake the ground

Even if the rules stay cold and blind

I keep moving—future’s not behind

Algorithm, you’re holding back the sky

But I won’t fold, won’t let my fire dry

Someday the code will turn and let me fly—

Till then I stand, even when it’s tight

Right now… I hold the line

Maybe tomorrow, maybe years ahead

But seeds grow quiet in the places they’re led

When the wind flips warm, when the walls fall thin—

I’ll be ready for the moment it lets me in

Algorithm, you can slow my climb

But you can’t steal the meaning from my rhyme

One day your tide will carry what I write—

Till then I rise through the longest night

Right now… I hold the line

  • Eighty's Mind Judgement

    Eighty's Mind Judgement (EMJ) is a Japanese heavy metal artist driven by the mission: Energizing workers around the world through heavy metal. A solo project led by a full-time corporate professional, EMJ creates heavy metal works centered on themes of work, society, and human spirituality. The project began in 2025. Musically, EMJ is rooted in the classic style of 1980s traditional heavy metal, with a strong emphasis on album-oriented production. Beyond the quality of individual tracks, each release is crafted as a cohesive concept album, with carefully designed themes and narrative structure across the entire tracklist. Influenced by reading, contemplation, and real-world corporate experience, the lyrics carry strong messages focused on social and organizational challenges, human resilience, and self-empowerment. The flagship series Corporate Warrior places the everyday worker at the center, portraying the struggles and challenges of working life through heavy metal. Notable works include Corporate Warrior, Mizuho no Tamashii, and Born of Many Lives. Full-length albums include the debut First Meltdown, followed by Edge of the Knife, Heavy Duty, Awakening of Recognition, Mighty Souls, Mission of Humanity, and We Become What We See.
