If you ever listened to PERFUME but wished they would release a metal album, then there is a chance that PassCode is for you. But don’t be deceived by their use of Vocaloid sections, their style can seemingly spin on an axis at any time, producing a sound that sifts between death metal, heavy synth, idol pop, chiptune, electronics and in the case of their new release PROJECTION<\/em> – Rap rock.<\/p>\n

PassCode released the MV for PROJECTION<\/em> on 11 April, which is about a high school girl who is either out of desperation, depression or disillusionment, enters herself into a Virtual Virtual Reality world to find solace, projecting herself as “Catherine” to a temporary release, but reaches a shocking conclusion.<\/p>\n

It’s possible to suggest that the music video is dealing with disillusion or reality as Virtual technology progresses, giving young people more options for escapism, or with the subject of depression – but this is all speculation.<\/p>\n

What really matters is that the music video delivers, it’s visually impressive, excellent production quality, hard-hitting and almost tragic in its concept, meanwhile the girls’ back-lit performance in those silver reflective jackets is mesmerizing to watch.<\/p>\n

PROJECTION<\/em>‘s production quality is clean as the track passes through various stages of sound, ranging from (but not limited to), heavy rock, chiptune, Vocaloid, thrash metal, rap rock\/punk pop, deathcore and synth-heavy electronics. It almost shouldn’t work, but it does.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a fan of PassCode or not, they seem to have something for everyone in their tracks, so if this isn’t for you – don’t give up completely, check them out again next time. I must admit, I’ve been re-playing that rap-rock segment over and over since hearing it – too damn catchy.<\/p>\n

PassCode’s new album CLARITY<\/em> is now available for purchase, for example through CD Japan<\/a>.<\/p>\n
