90HYPEs, now revitalized as a four-member band with the addition of Kairi Murotani (Gt.) and Naoki (Dr.), has released their first single "DOWN" since their renewal! The track masterfully blends a downer mood, driven by Strong Watari's unique flow, with the intense energy of Ryoichi Suemori's powerful shouts, creating a dynamic contrast between calm and chaos. The song is rooted in a band sound but is elevated by an electrifying drop, making it a standout piece that showcases a significant leap forward from their previous lineup. This release serves as the prologue to Ryoichi Suemori's next journey, with the band set to kick off full-scale live activities starting in 2025. Keep an eye on this evolving force in the music scene!
Starting as an experimental unit featuring "Ryoichi Suemori," former vocalist of Sailing Before The Wind (a band that has been at the forefront of the domestic metalcore scene), and singer-songwriter "Strong Watari," the project officially relaunched as a full band in 2025. They pursue the ultimate HYPE sound by uniquely blending club music and band sounds. This involves taking the aggression of hardcore/metal band sound and merging it with the ferocity of hardcore techno (such as Hardstyle and Gabber), as well as the chill-out styles of Jungle and Drum 'n' Bass. They are actively performing, leveraging the stage presence, overwhelming intensity, and deeply personal performance style of members who have long dominated the live music scene.
