RYUJIN - Gekokujo (Official Video) | Napalm Records

New Self-Titled Album, RYUJIN, out January 12, 2024! Order your copy of “Ryujin“ here: Ryoji Shinomoto states: In Japanese history, gekokujo refers to the act of a lower-ranking person politically or militarily overthrowing a higher-ranking person, violating the social order, and seizing power. I would say the song is Japanese horror folk metal. The music video also depicts Japan’s unique horror. Enjoy the dark side of Ryujin too!
