It’s quite well-known that Roseburn Avenue’s influences are rather wide-ranging, and change practically from song to song. While Roseburn Avenue did start as a Roselia doujin circle, I believe we have hardly stayed within that box.

We are proud to announce the release of a new original song by our guitarist John, “Slumber of Oblivion”. We hope you’ll enjoy this powerful composition.

Following up on John’s brilliant article about the origins of “Project ASAKAZE”, I’ve been thinking. To summarise it, an exercise in curiosity thanks to the “Animal Crossing” video game series led him to experimenting around with the surf and country genres and applying the results to several instrumental cover songs. The insights gained from these experiments have gone on to be applied to our third original song, and having listened to the song in its current state, I daresay that they have turned out to be really useful.

Project ASAKAZE started life as a thought I’d slept on for a while – “Hey, wouldn’t this song (Graceful Gate by Japanese symphonic metal band Cross Vein) sound quite neat as a Spaghetti Western soundtrack?”

Project ASAKAZE is proud to release its latest cover, this time that of a certain German song espousing the charms of Moscow.
