IMPORTANT NOTICE----to watch videos you must first stop the music on the player. if you do not, you will hear the audio from both simultaneously. although if synchronized well the timing could cause a "mash-up" effect that could prove interesting. sonically, the desired effect would, however, be lost in translation, so-to-speak! thank you very much for visiting our profile. Artistically yours- Dirty Harry and Yuki Kabuki
Here's Black Flag-THE mightiest, most powerfully heavy band to walk the face of planet Earth, period....they're performing their slower Sabbathy dirge titled "Life is Pain (I am Insane)" from the second side of Damaged. these guys toured the world and endured all manner of inhumanities and never complained once, ever. how hardcore is that!? notice how Henry pummels a guy who foolishly walks on stage. asshole deserved what he got! KISS performing God of Thunder in 1977 at Japans' Budokan. Gene Simmons spitting blood and jammin' some seriously distorted bass! pretty much THE reason i wanted to play bass guitar my damn self!!!! Public Enemy with their ultra-controversial hard-as-nails "Hazy Shade of Criminal" "...take a piece of America back, but who had it first hear the Indian curse." POWER TO THE PEOPLE & THE BEATS!!! Public Image, Ltd. (PiL) performing "Careering" on the Old Grey Whistle Test. the combination of Levene and Wobble makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! accept NO substitutes! This Mortal Coils' version of Tim Buckleys' beautiful ode to Greek Mythology; "Song to the Siren". the minimalist zen-like simplicity of their version is mind blowing. simply beautiful!
Sounds Like
a Japanese female with alot on her mind and an American male with not enough on his!
God created man...in his image, supposedly. Man created sound...to replicate the sounds of nature. DECAYof:theANGEL creates the Sound of God...the sound of Angels descending from the Heavens. We are not musicians, per se, as we do not consider ourselves entertainers who perform for financial gain or for ego stroking fame, but artistic individuals who choose to express themselves and their inner feelings and human emotions creating music as opposed to painting a canvas with water colors or oils or acrylics, writing poetry or prose in an attempt to publish a book of verse, or designing fine couture for a fashion house of international reputation. We create our vision of hauntingly beautiful soundscapes and ambient atmospheric sound collisions purely for personal satisfaction and if at least one person, who thinks differently than your average mass consuming human of mind numbing mediocrity, can relate to that, then we, as artists and creators have achieved our goal of converting mankind, one person at a time, so that the whole of humanity can be compassionate towards their fellow man and evolve as a species beyond the so-called set parameters of modern civilization. To create something from nothing as opposed to simply consuming nothing in your selfish quest for something, or what the corporate mind washers shove down your throats on a daily basis. We have never in our life learned through rote practice, a musical instrument in a concerted attempt to become professionally trained technically proficient musicians who make a lucrative living creating muzak for the masses. We do, however, create a sound so unheard of that upon initial listening, one cannot draw upon the influences of past or present musical artists, but rather the literary influences that encompass the world and universe for which Yuki inhabits. Solitude is her friend and she makes these feelings of loneliness and isolation come through in her artistic compositions of literary inspiration. DECAYof:theANGEL- We appropriated our name from the ultimately last book (in the Sea of Fertility tetralogy) of the controversial late, great post-war Japanese writer- Yukio Mishima. Mishima completed his very last book and upon hand delivering the manuscript to his publishers, dissatisfied with the direction Japans' new generation of consuming mindless ultra-conservative conformists were taking the country in, subsequently occupied the headquarters of the Imperial Japanese Defense Ministry and committed ritual suicide in the honorable way of the ancient samurai, by self-inflicted disembowelment (known in the English lexicon as "hara-kiri": literally to cut open ones' own stomach). Truly Japans' "Last Samurai". For all of you who are curious as to how Decay of the Angel came into being here is a short but sweet story of love, devotion and artistic creation- Yuki and I met one fateful day way back on June 5th of 1988 in a fashionable section of Tokyo called Harajuku, when i was still a member of the United States Navy stationed in Yokosuka aboard the USS Midway (CV-41). Back in those days they used to block off the thoroughfare in front of Yoyogi Koen and have a music festival every weekend where bands across the country, both amateur and professional, would gather and play for free for devoted followers of their music. We have been married since June 17th, 1991 and we have been creating music together as Decay of the Angel as early as 1999, when upon hearing John Frusciantes' zen fretwork on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' (so-called) comeback album of that year; "Californication", Yuki decided, at the age of 30, to express herself artistically on the electric guitar. She practiced for 8 to 10 hours daily for one year. She continues to incorporate feeling over form and substance over style in her quest for self expression. Our self titled debut was released October 16th, 2007 on Chuck Dukowskis' (of BLACK FLAG infamy) Nice and Friendly Records. We often post new songs that we create and that have not yet been released as a way for us to help those of you who are genuinely interested in Decayof:theAngel understand the creative phase that we are in at that particular time and place. Thank you very much for visiting our profile page and for supporting us and our music. We are humbled and grateful from the depths of our souls! Artistically yours- Dirty Harry and Yuki Kabuki Yukio Mishima- The man who wrote the book; The Decay of the Angel. DECAYof:theANGEL- The duo who took their name from the book that was written by the man who after having written the book committed hara-kiri in the honorable way of the ancient samurai. We are honored to have this name and we will uphold the beauty, passion, conviction and artistic integrity of this great man and writer/creator of all things holy and sacred. This is and always shall be the premise and aesthetics of DECAYof:theANGEL- Elegance and Brutality! God creates Man. Man creates Sound. DECAYof:theANGEL creates the Sound of God. Three simple facts of the Universe.
