A track that is a bit reminiscent of their single <em>RADIANT,<\/em> with the mix between visual kei screamo, energetic vocals with upbeat drum rhythm and an electrifying melodic rhythm on guitar.<\/p>\n<p>On the 22nd of July, they released their new single <em>KARMA<\/em> featuring a brighter music video aesthetic, featuring a multitude of red strings decorated with small pieces of white papers and kanji on them. To accompany the brighter look of the video, the band also adopted a new visual style, opting for a simpler outfit consisting of black pants and white dress shirts decorated with ink splats. The look for the band also provided Guitarist Youth-K-End with a good moment to change their artistic name to Yuh.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Yuh\u2019s name change, there have also been some changes to the line-up of the band with the departure of drummer Nao and supporting bass player Kasumi, and to fill this void, the band welcomed two new members: supporting drummer Tatsushi and full-time member Toyo on bass guitar.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GERTENA - KARMA\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NBzUWKFv71g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>COUNTDOWN TO GERTENA EUROPE TOUR 2025 Dates<\/h3>\n<p>Friday 17 October, 2025: Fl\u00f6sserplatz &#8211; Aarau, Switzerland<br \/>\nSunday 19 October, 2025: Backstage Club &#8211; M\u00fcnich, Germany<\/p>\n<p><b>Tickets:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Both shows have regular tickets and VIP tickets available.
