After years of fan requests, Japanese guitarist Ichika releases his first full metal record. "Lysis (metal ep)" is a four-track instrumental release that blends experimental rhythm with heavy guitar architecture. The centerpiece, Lysis, is a fully developed version of a demo that has long been anticipated by core listeners. Track 1 fuses breakbeat with metal, Track 3 merges glitch-hop textures with distortion, and Track 4 blends drum'n'bass with aggressive riffing. Across 17 minutes, Ichika explores tension, space, and saturation-rendering silence and violence as complementary forces. Entirely self-produced, Lysis (metal ep) distills precision and emotion into a uniquely cinematic metal statement
