The GazettE - Red

Review by Caitlin Fry

Red, the seventh studio album by Japanese rock band GazettE, has been making waves in the music industry since its release in 2020. The album showcases the band's signature blend of heavy metal, alternative rock, and visual kei, with a focus on more melodic and emotional tracks.

The album opens with the haunting and atmospheric intro "DOPPELGANGER," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The title track "Red" follows, featuring a catchy chorus and powerful guitar riffs. "Blindness" and "Dawn" are standout tracks, with their emotional lyrics and soaring melodies.

GazettE also experiments with different styles on this album, such as the electronic-infused "Untitled" and the acoustic ballad "Last Song." The album ends with "Fadeless," a dynamic and intense track that leaves a lasting impression.
