REGA Returns as a Three-Piece with Their First Album in Eight Years

REGA is finally back - now redefined as a three-piece band. Their long-awaited new album captures everything that makes REGA unique: a solid, raw, and deeply "live" sound. Stripping their music down to its purest elements, the band refined their performance through live shows in the last two years after hiatus, shaping each song until it was ready for release.

Already hailed as a standout in their live sets, Track 8 "Secret Notebook" unfolds like a cinematic tale told through sound - a sweeping and emotional piece that showcases REGA's dynamic storytelling. Likewise, Track 9 "Lightyards" has long been a fan favorite at live shows, drawing in audiences with its irresistible melodies and energy, making its studio release highly anticipated.

Marking a new chapter for the band, Track 6 "MONOLITH" features a guest appearance by the renowned rapper Candle, known for his collaborations with SHINGO2 and EVISBEATS. Meanwhile, Track 2 "HOP" and Track 5 "6 Fingers" deliver REGA's signature groove - driving riffs and danceable rhythms that pull listeners in and won't let go.

This release is a culmination of REGA's evolution - a raw, focused, and powerful statement from a band that continues to push its sound forward.
