THE CARDS I PLAY Unveil Explosive New Single and Video ‘One Last Ride’

Tokyo-based alternative nu metal force THE CARDS I PLAY have dropped the official music video for their brand-new single ‘One Last Ride’, offering fans the first taste of their upcoming full-length ‘Diamond Avenue’, set for release on September 10th.

‘One Last Ride’ captures the band’s signature blend of raw nu metal energy and anthemic alternative hooks, delivering both aggression and emotion in equal measure. The track reflects on resilience, final chances, and pushing forward despite the weight of the past — themes that resonate strongly within the modern heavy scene.

The official music video mirrors the intensity of the song itself, packed with high-octane performance shots and a visual grit that amplifies the band’s hard-hitting sound. It’s a clear statement of intent from THE CARDS I PLAY as they prepare to enter a new era with ‘Diamond Avenue’.

With ‘One Last Ride’ marking the countdown to their most ambitious release yet, THE CARDS I PLAY continue to position themselves as one of the most exciting acts in Japan’s alternative and nu metal landscape. September 10th promises to be a defining moment when ‘Diamond Avenue’ finally sees the light.
