BAND-MAID Releases Music Video for Unleash!!!!!

 

About a month ago, the news that BAND-MAID would release an anime-style music video was announced. The group has made good on its promise.

As of now, the video for BAND-MAID's Unleash!!!!! is live for all to see. The "Unleash!!!!!" EP itself will be released next month in September. This is the band's first EP since 2013's "Band-Maiko," and first major release under Pony Canyon since 2021's album "Unseen World." Further details should be upcoming soon.

UPDATE: the "Unleash!!!!!" EP is now released and features eight tracks. Titular song Unleash!!!!! is accompanied by the instrumental From Now On, Sense, which was featured in the anime Platinum End in 2021, Balance, I'll, Corallium, Influencer, and Hate? Of note is that Corallium and Hate? both feature lyrics written by vocalist Atsumi Saiki. Generally, guitarist Miku Kobato has written the lyrics for all of their songs.

For now, enjoy the video.

They'll start at Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA, before going north to Seattle, south through California (with stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego), and will then head east.
