Gekijōban Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magica: Walpurgis no Kaiten & FictionJunction "Kanata" single (theme song)

[grunty]

Time for a relisten or rewatch of Madoka before the new one comes out, I guess.

Sometimes i feel like we know her discography better than she does XD

Got anything to add, @george1234 ? ;P

ooh metal Kajiura!! always look forward to that! let's see how it continues.

I need to give the osts another listen, I completely forgot what they were like, save a couple songs.

I wasnt refering only to myself when i said that, i wanted to say that us the fans often find similarities between her new vs older compositions that if she remembered about she would maybe choose a different approach for the new compositions.

And yes i dont listen to the osts as often as i used to, and that includes madoka ones too. I need to relisten too.

I was thinking maybe more in the direction of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_Ucm2nxUVw

Though one could probably find something even closer in Kajiura's discography (and maybe outside of Kajiura's for this particular sample).

Woah! Never heard this track before.

Love the heaviness of the distorted guitar though the strings softened the vibe a bit. I was expecting some more wild shredding on the guitar.

[Edit: From the drumming here, I'd say this is definitely Sato]

Who w

It's a derivative of a human bullet from the beginnings/eternal soundtrack. I'm curious whether it's just a remastered recording from back then or really a new "human bullet #2".

Edit: Listening to it more closely, it is definitely a new version/recording. The riff is very similar, but not identical to "a human bullet". The rhythm is different.

Who was the drummer on this track? His choice of tuning for the drums and choice of fills reduced the metal-ness of that riff section? Was it Sato or Nozaki?

And you would be wrong. ;)

Masuke Nozaki, per booklet credits at least

Only Sato credited for drums in booklet.

Woah! I'm surprised if that's the case. Went totally against my expectations with Sato being the more rock-styled player of the two, in my opinion.
