Yeah I wasn't sure what I expected for an ending, but it wasn't that.

The One Night in Tokyo video is also worth a watch (sort of a "Meat Loaf, but neon pixel art" aesthetic). I won't even try to explain the ending.

I do enjoy this resurgence( re-re-re-surgence?) of of poppy power metal.
But I gotta say that this sounds so overtly produced that the whole thing sounds like it was made on a laptop with samples. Dragonforce was kind of the pinnacle of "so technical that it sounds mechanical" but this has gone off the other side of that slope into something that feels sequenced, not recorded. It's more No Rules by Windows95man than Judas Priest or Dio or even Babymetal.

I'm dissapointed they didn't show the keyboard player, who pretty much carries the whole song, and that they didn't show up playing a keytar.

I got to see them perform last year in Vancouver. A long-time fan of theirs took me to a show and I had a great time. Very high-energy performers!
