Wagdug Futuristic Unity

February 20, 2008

It’s been a while since I recommended a band. Wagdug Futuristic Unity is the new project from Hiroshi Kyono of Mad Capsule Markets. It’s a genre which I like to call “digital hardcore,” screaming with electronic elements in the background. His first mini-album NU ЯIOT came out last October and contained many guest appearances such as DJ Starscream from Slipknot. Here is the music video for “ILL MACHINE (x ULTRA BRAiN)” which also appears on the Appleseed: Ex Machina OST.
