Kongo Kyuubi will also be available to fans worldwide from Hot Topic, Amazon.com, and RightStuf.com.

The CD includes the previously released singles “Soukoku,” Doukoku,” and “Aoki Dokugan” plus the three-part mythology-based “Kumikyoku Kyuubi” suite (called a “masterpiece” by Barks.jp). Keeping with the album’s mythology theme, the jacket art features lead vocalist Kuroneko portraying the evil, nine-tailed fox spirit Tamamo-no-mae.

Kuroneko (vocals)

With over 10 years of history in the Japanese rock music scene, Onmyo-za’s releases have consistently placed in Oricon’s Top 20. Their 2001 Osaka live show announcing their major-label debut sold out instantly at pre-sale, and the band’s strong Japanese fan base has supported them with sold out shows across Japan, including completely sold-out Japanese tours in 2007 and 2008.

Known to metal fans worldwide for their powerful guitar & bass work, Onmyo-za’s hit song, “Koga Ninpocho,” was written for the Studio Gonzo TV anime series “Basilisk” (released in the USA by FUNimation).
