When it comes to fusing Visual Kei theatrics with Metalcore ferocity, few bands do it as consistently — or as brutally — as Lynch. Their latest single, ‘BRINGER,’ is a scorching reminder of why they remain one of Japan’s most respected heavy hitters.
This track is pure fire from start to finish: vocals that shift from guttural growls to soaring choruses, guitar riffs sharp enough to cut glass, and drumlines that feel like a relentless barrage. If Visual Kei and Metalcore had a child raised on chaos, it would look — and sound — exactly like Lynch on ‘BRINGER.’
Why ‘BRINGER’ Hits So Hard
‘BRINGER’ doesn’t waste time easing listeners in — it erupts immediately. Lynch have always been masters at balancing brutality with atmosphere, and this single proves that formula still works.
- Vocals: Hazuki delivers one of his most versatile performances yet, moving seamlessly between guttural aggression and melodic clarity.
- Guitars: Yusuke and Reo tear into riffs that bounce between groove-laden heaviness and soaring leads.
- Drums: Asano is a beast behind the kit, unleashing breakdowns that feel like earthquakes.
The track doesn’t just hit hard — it lingers. Every line and riff leaves an aftershock, making this one of Lynch’s most memorable singles in years.
