NO ANNIHILATION OF TIME

[Machine Translation] ROSEROSE, a leading figure in the Japanese crossover scene, continues to follow its own path. The long-awaited latest album is released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their debut! This year marks the 40th anniversary of ROSEROSE's debut. After the reissues of "LIQUIDATION", "BRUTALIZE", and "COMPLETE DEADEN THE NERVE", this is the long-awaited latest album, the first in three years. This is the fourth album by the current trio, and is an ambitious work that further pursues ROSEROSE's unique crossover sound that fuses hardcore and thrash metal. hiRo's lyrics, told from his own sharp perspective, tell a story that leads to the jacket, and sometimes raise issues that make you look at yourself again. The lyrics are told from hiRo's own sharp perspective. The album also includes "No annihilation of time" with its impressive medium-tempo riffs, "The war of wasteful consumption" with its excellent MucicVideo by the genius Taro Maruyama, and the catchy and energetic "Justify," which reminds us of their early days. The catchy and energetic "Justify" and "Way to higher" are punkish, and the crossover "Criptic death" that E-GAYA has been working on for a long time is the best ever. The jacket is designed by ZUKK, who has done many artworks for ROSEROSE, just as he did for the previous album. The design, which has never been done before, is closely related to the album title, and was realized through in-depth discussions with hiRo, who is responsible for almost all of the lyrics. The album's artwork was produced by a team of photographer Shigeo Kikuchi, who also has a deep knowledge of music and subcultures. We hope you will enjoy this powerful and crazy album, which once again renews the "the latest work is the masterpiece. All who listen to it will be overwhelmed by the drama packed into the 12 songs.
