Highly recommended for listeners with a discerning ear.

Finally, something a bit unusual.
Many national militaries have numerous bands.
Among them, the Ukrainian military band, for some reason, performed “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” on stage.
This became a huge topic around the world, especially on the internet! “Takahashi-san, you’ve become famous in a place like this!”

A band with many highly melodic songs.
Their work is of very high quality, and in the decade-plus since their debut, they’ve firmly established themselves.
The appeal lies in their many beautiful tracks that you’ll really want to listen to while driving or on days when you just want to feel refreshed and invigorated.
Midnight TrainAntony Kalugin Projects
A work by Anton Kargin, a renowned synthesizer player in Ukraine who has performed with numerous bands.
He has taken part in well-known acts such as KARFAGEN, SUNCHILD, and HOGGWASH.
As a pop-rock-metal player who best captures an Eastern European sensibility, he consistently conveys a subtly melancholic Eastern European mood with a gentle touch.
Savannah Only TempleInditronics
In the Eastern European music scene, which is often said to be quite quirky, this band has a catchy sound that’s actually easy to listen to—and maybe even stylish.
It’s rock with a slightly psychedelic flavor, but it feels very familiar to the ears.
The kind of band you just want to keep listening to without thinking.
I’m looking forward to their new album in 2017, which includes this track!
Гимн (Himno)MYSTERYA
A five-member band with female vocals and a female synth player, known for highly melodic, symphonic, and beautiful synth sounds.
Many of their songs are sprinkled throughout with intros, melodies, and other motifs that have a distinctly Eastern European flavor.
The extraordinarily beautiful vocals have many hidden fans around the world and are a must-hear.
