Mardelas - "Patriot Anthem" - First Reaction 

Saw this band's very first gig, live at the Electric Lady show Aug. 2014 when they shared the bill with exist trace, Mary's Blood, Gacharic Spin, Doll$Boxx, Light Bringer, Bridear mong others. The band's original bassist and drummer were from Light Bringer, and LIght Bringer"s keyboardist Mao has worked with them (as well as Lovebites et al). Vocalist Marina, formerly with Destrose, speaks good English. Also saw Mardelas at Electric Lady in 2016 with Mary's Blood, Gacharic Spin, Disqualia (Nemophila Hazuki's old band), and Soramimi (Nemophila Tamu's old band).

Excellent band that doesn't get enough love. That guitarist reminds me of Syu from Galneryus big time.

Cool Reaction! I started to buy their albums a while back and they have grown on me over time. Marina is a power house for sure even though it took me some time to get used to her vibrato. However, "Patriot Anthem" for me is the one released by Yousei Teikoku 2007 on the "Gothic Lolita Propaganda" album so, if You wonder how excited a Japanese audience can get check out the live version from the "Pax Vesania Live Tour" 2013 with english subtitles and You can see Empress Yui in action. Keep on Reacting!

Marina, the queen of vibrato. I absolutely love this band, and Kikyo is one of my favorite guitarist. Please more Mardelas. 🤘🏻

Miho and Haruna's singer from their old band does a great job on vocals and the musicians are fantastic. Love this song!

Love Marina ❤! Check out one of their older songs, “Apocalypse “, mv., which got me hooked!! It features Mao, on keyboards, so-called sixth Lovebites, as he was involved with every aspect , songwriting, lyrics, and so on with Lovebites!

Mardelas has a ton of official live performance videos on their RU-vid channel and very few MV's. And just like most of these amazing Japanese bands, live performances are the preferred option anyway. Mardelas also semi-regularly does excellent studio-live song covers much like NEMOPHILA does, and there are a bunch of those on their channel too. A few live suggestions: "Cleopatra" (Live) 2021 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B-wIUV5CzAE.html "Bullseye" (Live) 2020 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A7TW0kO96CA.html

guitarist kikyo oikawa is at the top of his game and has been for a long time. and marina is vocally in a world of her own.

Marina! Marina! Marina!

Gosh, I love this band just as much as Lovebites, Marina does have an amazing voice, I've always loved it since I first heard her with Destrose. So glad you decided to bring them to your platform, they released the first album in 2015 and since then no one has ever given them a chance or react to and IMO they are just as good as many metal bands if not better. I tend to be a very picky person when it comes to bands as well as singers, it is what it is, Mardelas is one of my favorites and I support them always I chat with Marina every now and then she is an awesome person. I think the last concert they recorded is the Nagoya 2022 Live here is "Last Round Survivor" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MyTA59rPk2Y.html Nope I forgot they did "The Fox and The Grapes" (Live) 2023 Tokyo from the very recent album Mardelas IV ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4o4ywhMqOWw.html

if they are going for the 80's hair metal vibe they nailed it i hope there is more to them then this though 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
