陰陽座、2年半ぶりオリジナルアルバム『吟澪御前』リリース決定
Onmyo-za has announced that they will release their 16th original album, “Ginrei Gozen”, on August 6, 2025.

Matatabi explaining what the album title means:

Click here for Japanese

新作のタイトルは『吟澪御前』。
“吟ずることを己の澪とする強力な鬼”という意味を持っています。
“吟ずること”とは歌ったり音楽を作ること。
“澪”とは船が通った後の航跡のことで、“御前”は強力な女性の鬼の名前に付けられる言葉です。’

口先で己を語るのではなく、音楽そのもので語るのだという陰陽座の信念が込められたアルバムとなっています。
前作『龍凰童子』とは、“童子”、“御前”という強力な鬼に付ける言葉が入っているところから雌雄のような関係になっていますが、ストーリーに関連性があるということではなく、陰陽座の覚悟を形にするという意味に於いて共通の意思が込められている、ということになります。現在、完成を目指して鋭意制作中です。

The title of the new album is “Ginrei Gozen.”
It means “a powerful demon who leaves chanting/singing in her wake.”
“Gin” means singing or making music.
“Rei” refers to the wake of a ship, and “Gozen” is the suffix for the name of a powerful female demon.

This album is filled with Onmyo-za’s belief that they should not speak about themselves with their mouths, but with their music itself.

There’s a counterpart-like relationship with the previous release, “Ryuou Douji,” because they contain the words “douji” (masculine suffix) and “gozen” (feminine suffix), which we used to describe the powerful demons; but this does not mean that the stories are related, but rather that they share a common will in the sense of giving form to Onmyo-za’s resolve.

We are currently working hard to complete the work.
