QUEEN KONA's "Rise of the Shogunate" features some of their most creative writing lyrically, as it details the historical rise of the shogunate militia within Kyoto, Japan. During the 1100s, Minamoto Yoritomo and the Minamoto clan rebelled against the Taira clan in the Genpei War, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate - a new, powerful militia government.
"Instrumentally, the highlight of this track is the complex, triplet-driven groove leading into Tommy’s barrage of vocals. We crafted an almost Meshuggah-like moment, with a Slipknot-inspired bass lead just prior. Tommy’s lyrics here describe, in detail, the physics and thought process behind swinging a legendary katana, and delivering a blow to an enemy. Everything about this moment screams adrenaline, and we love how it turned out. Finally, the war-chant breakdown after 3 of us scream, “Hail the Shogunate!” still sends chills up our spines."
