The red-head is Shiren, the founder and main songwriter. Super talented guitarist, but because of a severe tendinitis, he can't play for that long, so he does some growl/scream vocals on the side. Jill, the violinist, is a virtuoso; it almost seems odd that she'd be playing in a metal band instead of as a classical concert violinist. To check out her real ability, just watch any of the Quadratum videos where they do covers of other rock/metal song with her doing lead parts on violin. For more UM, I suggest "Unending Sorceress," "Cadaver/Revadac," or their newest, "The Black Death Mansion Murders."
Shiren (the red hair) is the founder of unlucky morpheus, the main composer, lead guitarist, and vocals, and he can play a variety of instruments including piano, trumpet, harmonica, etc. because of tendonitis in his arm, so he can't play the guitar for as long as he used to, so his guitar part of many of their old songs have replaced by jill (the violinist), which is a real shame for a great guitarist like him😕. Btw, i recommend 《phantom blood》 live as the next reaction.🤘🏻
Thank you! If you like Jill, try listening to Eruption+The Dance Of Eternity live, covers of Van Halen and Dream Theater, there you will also see how talented these guys are
Thanks for the reaction. As they have explained to you in other comments Shiren is a composer and multi-instrumentalist as well as a screamer, he is the greatest talent of that great band. Comparing Shiren and Fuki makes no sense, she executes her specialty and he does it with one of his many abilities. There are better screamers but I doubt they have Shiren's multiple talents. If you want to continue reacting to them you will have to do it with something from their official channel because outside of this they have copyright snipers shooting everything that moves. My suggestions are Night Of Sword music video, Dignity of Spirit (live) or Unending Sorceress
This song was on their mini-album called Vampir that came out in 2015. I think this is the album where Unlucky Morpheus really began to het their stride. Fuki, the vocalist, has been singing with Unlucky Morpheus since 2008 when she and Shiren founded the band. She was also splitting her time as vocalist with a really good power metal called Light Bringer and in 2012 started singing in another good band called Doll$Boxx, which is basically the instrumentalists of Gacharic Spin (although two of them are good vocalists too) and Fuki as lead vocalist. Bottom line, Fuki was a very busy woman. Light Bringer officially ended as a band in 2014. Other than a few shows in 2017, Doll$Boxx was only really active in 2012 and 2013. In my opinion, Unlucky Morpheus was really able to solidify when Fuki was able to give it her full attention. 2017 is another highlight year for the band when Jill, the violinist, become an official member. I have listened to a lot of female Japanese singers and my two favorites are Fuki and Saiki of Band-Maid. Fuki probably has the better voice but Saiki is more versatile with everything she has to handle in Band-Maid Unlucky Morpheus has a new music video out for the song called The Black Death Mansion Murders based on a Japanese horror novel. The song is very good and a bit on the macabre side, especially at the end. The Black Death Mansion Murders - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UyxM03zOC1M.html You should give a listen to Doll$Boxx with their music video for Take My Chance. Fuki shows off her vocals and has some fun doing it. You will also get introduced to some of the great instrumentalists of Gacharic Spin, including Hana, one of my favorites, who is the drummer/vocalist. Take My Chance - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mu2z4Uf9Tgc.html Last, you should get back to Asterism. I don't think you have seen one of my favorite videos of them. It is the song Blaze and it is well named. Blaze - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-51Pxkp8lGAs.html
Shiren (red hair) is actually the lead guitarist- classically trained on piano and composes all their songs - he has medical issue with his left arm. JILL (violin) well duh - graduate of the most prestigious art and music university in Japan. Fumiya (drums) can play piano and does all backing keyboard and piano parts himself. Ogura (bass) actually used to only strictly play Jazz before joining U-M. Jinya (right guitart) I am not sure fully on his music education background. Regarding Fuki (vocal) she was not trained in singing from school. I read that she actually is self taught vocalist. She is a genius and writes most of their lyrics.
Angreifer is German, meaning attacker, which is apt for this song. The song is about someone that has died and re-awoken as a vampire. Fuki is singing from the humanity side still trying to hold on, and Shiren is singing from the vampire side, trying to get them to fed for the 1st time and complete the transformation. This was filmed after Shiren's injury. On the EP this is from, he plays the solo and takes part in the battle, but due to his injury he takes a rest during this song, and Black Pentagram (live), and Jill takes over a lot of his parts. If you want a song that's just the growls by UM try [Official Video] Shiren from Unlucky Morpheus - 「want to LIVE」 Another band for you to check out Battle Against Justice (Single ver.) - All-female metal band FATE GEAR ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cjiGGFW7jBE.html
That version of Black Pentagram was deleted some time ago by the band, only the videos from their official channel remain. When a brave uploads a UM video it lasts 48 hours and probably gets a strike
It’s funny that you’ve mentioned Castlevania because Jill, the violinist of Unlucky Morpheus, did a cover of “Bloody Tears” with other musicians. At their beginning, Unlucky Morpheus were doing covers of video games music. They are fans of Final Fantasy video game franchise (their song “Unending Sorceress” is about Final Fantasy 8) and they often play video games on their RU-vid channel livestreams
The one guitarist has his guitar on a stand so he can walk away and do the Screams. Some of the interplay between him and Fuki is Very Good but I also prefer Fuki vocals vs Screams. and Jill is as Always Amazing.
In fact, UM started off their career as a band mostly doing soundtracks for anime and video games. So your Castlevania reference is on point. Their songs since then are still heavy on mystical and occult themes. Angreifer is based on an old German fairy tale that is quite dark and bloody. Even their personae in the band reflect this idea---Jill and Fuki are beautiful and Angelic, while Fumiya, Ogawa and Shiren present the dark side. It's the same "beauty and the beast" concept you see in a lot of symphonic metal bands.
