“Chaos Master” by Jelusick is a progressive metal song blending elements of the genre’s golden era with contemporary trends. It carries narratives of turmoil and resilience, offering listeners a cathartic experience. Despite some unique aspects, it lacks distinctiveness among other bands. Its fusion of past and present appeals to both old-school fans and new listeners. It scores 6 of 10 for the song and 6.5 of 10 for the video.

Hanabie, an all-female Japanese metal band, distinguishes itself through a unique fusion of heavy metal and pop. Their song “Be the GAL~Early Summer Version” embodies this creativity, mixing energetic youthful themes and gaming graphics with hardcore music elements. Despite its fun, playful approach, the song vividly showcases Hanabie’s musical expertise, producing a balanced, innovative representation of redefined metal music.
