Some bands arrive to make noise. Others arrive to make history. Lyrica are aiming squarely at the latter with their explosive new single ‘Wonder and Underground’ — a Visual Kei metal screamo anthem that shakes the floor, rattles the walls, and refuses to leave your head.
This track is everything you’d hope for from a band pushing VK into the future: ferocious vocals, a beat you can’t shake, and visuals that pay homage to the genre’s iconic fashion roots. Lyrica are loud, theatrical, and unapologetically themselves — and ‘Wonder and Underground’ proves they’re here to stay.
Screamo Power Meets Visual Kei Beauty
From the opening growl, ‘Wonder and Underground’ establishes itself as a track fueled by raw power. The screamo vocals cut through like sharpened steel, alternating between guttural intensity and soaring highs. The duality makes the song feel like a battle — chaos and beauty clashing in perfect balance.
Instrumentally, the track leans heavy on double-kick drumming and razor-sharp guitar riffs, but it’s not just brutality for brutality’s sake. The melodies are catchy, creating a hook that lingers long after the breakdowns fade. It’s metalcore at its heaviest but framed through the flamboyant lens of Visual Kei.
And then, of course, there’s the fashion. Lyrica’s costumes in the accompanying visuals are nothing short of breathtaking — elaborate, textured, and dramatic. They echo the golden age of VK, while still pushing toward something undeniably modern.
Why ‘Wonder and Underground’ Hits Different
Visual Kei has always thrived on contradictions: beauty and chaos, melody and madness, fashion and fury. ‘Wonder and Underground’ embraces all of it.
What sets this single apart is the way it refuses to compromise. It’s not just another metalcore track dressed up with costumes, nor is it a VK ballad disguised with a heavier edge. It’s a full commitment to the genre’s roots and its future, blending screamo ferocity with theatrical artistry.
The addictive beat makes it accessible, but the vocals and instrumentation make it uncompromising. It’s rare to find a track that feels both underground and arena-ready, but that’s exactly what Lyrica have delivered.
