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

Artist Profile

  • Eighty's Mind Judgement

    Eighty's Mind Judgement (EMJ) is a heavy metal project from Japan dedicated to energizing workers around the world through heavy metal. Launched in 2025, EMJ is a solo project created by a full-time corporate employee who writes and produces heavy metal inspired by everyday work life, society, and the inner struggles of modern people. Growing up listening to heavy metal and hard rock, the artist spent much of his youth immersed in the genre. He skipped school clubs and spent all of his part-time job earnings on heavy metal CDs, developing a deep connection with the music. Musically, EMJ draws strong influence from 1980s traditional heavy metal, emphasizing powerful riffs, melodic structures, and the classic spirit of the genre. The project places strong emphasis on album-oriented storytelling, designing each record as a cohesive conceptual work rather than a simple collection of songs. So far, seven albums have been completed, with three officially released. One of the central themes of EMJ's music is the life of working people. The Corporate Warrior series portrays office workers as modern-day warriors and captures their struggles, determination, and resilience through heavy metal. The project also creates visual artwork that reflects the thematic world of each release, combining music and imagery to build a distinctive artistic identity. EMJ's music is available on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and iTunes.
