The Resonance Project "The Resonance Project" CD

★With Japanese commentary

The ultimate evolution of instrumental music that crosses over from progressive rock and metal to jazz and fusion has finally arrived! The first album by the progressive metal duo "The Resonance Project" by LA-based Japanese guitarist and bassist Yas Nomura and Chinese drummer Lang Zhao has finally been released in Japan!

This is the first recording by "The Resonance Project," which was launched by Yas Nomura and Lang Zhao, professional musicians who work in the studio and as live support, in order to pursue their own sound. The quality of this work has even been praised by Matt Garstka, the drummer of Animals As Leaders, a leading figure in the progressive metal and djent scene, and it is an ongoing progressive sound that beautifully harmonizes aesthetically pleasing melodies, aggressive metal sounds, and technical parts that can be found everywhere in the complex development!

One of the highlights is M4 "Neo Thangka," featuring guest appearances by two new generation guitarists who are garnering worldwide attention: Mateus Asato, a Japanese-Brazilian guitarist who has toured Japan three times (Yas Nomura participated as bassist on the third tour) and is popular in Japan, and Felix Martin, a Venezuelan guitarist who uses a double-neck 16-string guitar. Based on a grand progressive sound, it features everything from Felix's brilliant high-speed tapping to Mateus' lyrical guitar solo, and it's no exaggeration to say that this is one of the best progressive metal songs of the year!
