A murder’s row of the core, visual kei, and contemporary metal scene’s finest at Bandai Namco as Starcluster - the label that’s acted as a home to these great acts for twelve years - celebrates in style with a big ol’ festival. Beijing’s Life Awaits, known for delivering one sonic catharsis after another via earnest, gut-wrenching vocals, guitar-darting breakdowns, and tranquil, synth-laden waves of ambiance, will perform along with Jiaxing core outfit VANTA and Nanjing’s Cries of the Past. Representing Shanghai will be Return to Sender - a hefty offering of emotionally fraught core music, and Forgive and Forget, an explosive blend of rock, emo, new screamo, indie emo, and post hardcore that goes for the jugular every time. Rounding out the bill are visual kei outfit The Naraka and electro core emo act BeatGeneration 1980’s. Pace yourself out there - it’s gonna be a long mosh pit-filled night.
