about

Concept album about giant turtle kaiju GAMERA as seen through the eyes of a young man witnessing its flight into his homeland. He finds an idol which allows him to call upon Gamera which causes all manner of religious and sexual confusion in his young mind until he falls into full speed Kaiju worship from synth hell.

Games Brains and a Headbanging Life says
"Xexyz certainly offer up a unique combination of sounds on this glowing tribute to the kaiju, Gamera, and the description alone certainly sets the mind aflame. Blackened speed metal with chiptune effects? It sounds undeniably interesting. Which it is"

Mitchfynde says
"Retro gaming-inspired blackened speed metal dedicated entirely to the worship of King Gamera? You can sign me up. Gamera is an insane, cartoonish nightmare!"

New Noise Magazine says
"Opening track “Blocking the Sun” introduces the band’s style in a big, bold way, and then “King Gamera” brings the pummeling metal sounds. “Worship Him” takes on more of a prog sound. “Mountain of Blood” nicely balances the metal guitars against the NES sounds. “Only I Can See Your Face” makes the NES the primary instrument that carries the song to the album’s conclusion"

ON A NIGHT OF FULL MOON,
A SMALL MACHINE CALLED OUT,
TWO HUMANS STOOD IN TERROR,
THE FOOTSTEPS OF AN ANCIENT GOD.
GAMERA GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE,
RECORDED ON GREY PLASTIC,
PLAYED UNDERNEATH THE FULL MOON.
THE TURTLE IS SATAN.
THE WORLD IS GYAOS.
NO ONE LEFT TO KILL, ONLY A VOID!
THE MUSIC WAS CHANNELED; THE ANCIENT GOD WAS ENCASED!
LEFT ALONE NO MORE! THE UTTERANCE GIVEN!
TWO PEOPLE STARED IN HORROR; KNOWLEDGE OF THE OLD CURSE!

DESTROY THE GYAOS!
