XANVALA Releases New Digital Single: "Ashita, Mushi ni Natte mo"

Japanese Alternative/Visual Kei group XANVALA recently released their latest digital single, “Ashita, mushi ni natte mo”, on July 26. It promises to be one of their heaviest songs so far and you can read about it, and listen to it of course, below!

XANVALA is well-known for switching up their sound and style and they are firmly back on the dark side with “Ashita, mushi ni natte mo”.  The Kafkaesque title is translated into English as ‘Even if I turn into a bug tomorrow’. The song explores the anguish of an infectious love that feels like a curse, and does so in a powerful piece of music. Genre-wise, the new single falls into the alt-metal sound infused with djent elements, down-tuned guitar riffs, hard-hitting drums, and a combination of screams and clean vocals.

The members of XANVALA commented on the single:
"The song itself is heavy, and so are the lyrics. Staying true to the theme, the song turned into a heavy love song."
— Vocalist Tatsumi
 
"We shouldn’t be satisfied with how things just are. That’s why we should make changes to not leave things as they are now."
— Guitarist Yuhma
 
"This song showcases a new facet of XANVALA and it will have a significant impact on the atmosphere at concerts. Fun fact, we found woodlice at the location where we filmed the music video."
— Guitarist Souma
 
"This is our most aggressive song ever. However, I hope you can perceive the emotions beyond that."
— Bassist 70.
 
"This work… is not the cure for cancer, but it’s so good that it eventually will."
— Drummer Tomoya

Since their formation in 2020, XANVALA has been building momentum and making waves with their unique brand of exciting music. After the release of their second album “NIX” in March, XANVALA has been consistently touring all over Japan. Furthermore, the five-piece band recently put out the song “strange?” on digital platforms, and released a second press of their sold-out 2022’s album “Tsuki to Taiyou”.
