MV Review: PassCode – PROJECTION

Mocht je ooit naar PERFUME hebben geluisterd, maar de wens had dat ze een metalalbum zouden uitbrengen, dan is er een kans dat PassCode iets voor jou is. Maar laat je niet misleiden door hun gebruik van Vocaloid-secties, hun stijl kan schijnbaar altijd behoorlijk omdraaien, en een geluid produceren dat zift tussen death metal, heavy synth, idolpop, chiptune, elektronica en in het geval van hun nieuwe plaat PROJECTION – Raprock.

PassCode heeft op 11 april de MV voor PROJECTION uitgebracht, welke gaat over een meisje die op de middelbare school zit en die uit wanhoop, depressie of ontgoocheling, zichzelf in een Virtual Reality-wereld begeeft om troost te vinden, zichzelf projecterend als “Catherine” naar een tijdelijke release, maar bereikt een schokkende conclusie.

Het is mogelijk om te suggereren dat de videoclip bezig is met desillusie of realiteit naarmate de virtuele technologie vordert, waardoor jongeren meer opties hebben voor escapisme of het onderwerp depressie, maar dit is allemaal speculatie.

Wat er echt toe doet, is dat de muziekvideo levert, het is visueel indrukwekkend, uitstekende productiekwaliteit, keihard en bijna tragisch in zijn concept, ondertussen is de verlichte prestaties van de meisjes in die zilveren reflecterende jassen betoverend om te zien.

De productiekwaliteit van PROJECTION is helder, omdat de track door verschillende geluidstadia gaat, variërend van (maar niet beperkt tot), heavy rock, chiptune, Vocaloid, thrash metal, raprock/punk-pop, deathcore en synth-dominerende elektronica. Het zou bijna niet moeten werken, maar het werkt.

Of je nu een fan bent van PassCode of niet, ze lijken iets voor iedereen te hebben in hun tracks, dus als dit niets voor jou is – geef niet op, volg ze de volgende keer opnieuw. Ik moet toegeven dat ik dat raprock-segment steeds weer opnieuw speel sinds ik het heb gehoord – het is te verdomd pakkend.

PassCode’s nieuwste album CLARITY is nu verkrijgbaar, je kunt het bijvoorbeeld aankopen via CD Japan.
