Indonesian visual kei band NAMELESS CROWN officially released the music video (MV) for their second single, “Houkai (崩壊)”, on December 25. This release marks a new chapter in the band’s journey, showcasing both musical evolution and a renewed visual identity.
In the MV for “Houkai (崩壊),” NAMELESS CROWN introduces a new lineup with the addition of NiRN as the band’s guitarist. NiRN’s presence brings fresh energy and a stronger dynamic to the band’s sound, contributing to the intensity and depth of their latest work.
Alongside the new lineup, NAMELESS CROWN also unveils a New Visual concept for all members. The updated visual embraces a darker, more elegant, and intense atmosphere, perfectly reflecting the theme of collapse and destruction conveyed in “Houkai (崩壊).” This new visual direction reinforces the band’s identity and highlights their strong influence from Japanese visual kei aesthetics.
Musically, “Houkai (崩壊)” explores a powerful blend of symphonic deathcore infused with Japanese visual kei elements. Grand orchestral arrangements, aggressive guitar riffs, and extreme vocals combine with striking visuals to create a dramatic and emotional experience, representing a more mature and refined expression from NAMELESS CROWN.
Through the release of “Houkai (崩壊),” NAMELESS CROWN demonstrates significant growth both musically and visually. This second single is expected to expand their audience and strengthen NAMELESS CROWN’s presence within the extreme music and visual kei scenes, not only in Indonesia but also on an international scale.
