Guitarist HIZAKI will combine his EPs "Rusalka" and "Back to Nature" into his first international album, scheduled for release on September 17th via British label SETSUZOKU RECORDS.
HIZAKI, the lead guitarist and composer of symphonic power metal bands Versailles and Jupiter, has announced his first release since joining British label SETSUZOKU RECORDS earlier this year.
His two previous EPs, 2021's Rusalka and 2019's Back to Nature, will be compiled into a full-length album titled Rusalka + Back to Nature. Designed to serve as an overseas introduction for HIZAKI into the Western market, the album will be
released on CD and via digital platforms in the UK, Europe and North America on September 17th.
To celebrate the release of HIZAKI’s first official international album, the first 100 CDs pressed will be a special edition available in the "Les Cent Premiers" bundle. This exclusive pre-order bundle will include: a hand-numbered CD with exclusive
alternate CD face art, a "Les Cent Premiers" HIZAKI t-shirt, a "Les Cent Premiers" HIZAKI guitar pick and three 8x10 glossy photos of HIZAKI.
Only 100 bundles are being made and the items will not be reprinted. Pre-orders for the standard edition and the "Les Cent Premiers" bundle of Rusalka + Back to Nature begin at 10:00am (GMT) on August 13th, exclusively from the SETSUZOKU RECORDS webstore.
