RAZOR // Broken Society: SAMURAIソードMAN

雪 (Yuki) 6 October 2024 No Comments
“SAMURAIソードMAN” (Samurai Sword Man) is the 12th single in RAZOR’s ever-growing discography. Despite being released in June of 2023 the single touches on an interesting concept that might have been overshadowed entirely by how upbeat and flashy the title track and its music video are.

This review was intended to be written and published much closer to the release date of the single last year, but due to circumstances it kept getting pushed back. The single never left 雪 (Yuki)’s mind (or her playlist) however, so she’s finally talking about it in this review!

In this installment of V Reviews, V takes us on a journey of DAMNED's hauntingly badass track “Thanatosis”, which is also the first MV featuring the group's new lineup.
