The Suzuran Parlour holds afoot the one consensual sickest, shredding-est rad and dandiest album from this past Comiket's repertoire of releases once again.

The first few uploads pertaining to Nada Upasana Pundarika in this channel are rather submissive and truthfully rendered obsolete in their inferior quality. To be honest, this is what brought the channel to become what is today. Upon lending an ear on Bridge of Lotus, the idea for a Touhou arranges channel as spouted out of Tokunan's crunching and brutal sound ripping. So yeah, I basically owe you one and half here, Demetori, thanks a bunch!

A lot of fowks complained about the lack of Sinen in this one... Awaiting a long due resurgence of this great sir of the world is perfectly legitimate but as soon as this one beamed out, I hardly saw any complaints.
Demetori will always be Demetori and so it has been since Shout at the Devil. Oriental Dark Flight (オリエンタルダークフライト) is an pretty kickass arrange, isn't it? There's always a little bit of "flip-on-your-chair" bit here and there when it's down to these guys.

This album however, this one glorious and majestic compilation of 9 tracks, is just straight out amazing. I said I would sorta roam around the rest of it after being hooked onto Wizard of Emotion and Bridge of Lotus and so it happened. I can't pick out a track anymore.

And so, this double-update is a little fruit of such event. I've explored the album to every little ditty and I think this is possibly one of my best updates until this point... Or until Demetori raises up the standards again one day, I should consider that.

Flame for Puja and View of the River Styx are the two last tracks, the former being more of a prologue to the real thing. Unfortunately or not, although it's just mere dummy composition core for the grandness and skill of these guys, it still puts many Fires of Hokkai arranges I've skimmed across to shame.

The original intent on the visual part was to sorta smack a dandy fanciful Byakuren there and although I still dig the idea of more boobinite visuals, I skewed across that one picture and thought incredibly fitting for the moment! After all, it's pretty much a portrayal of the whole video itself.
Flame for Puja hasn't gotten any youtube uploads to my notice... Or notable ones at that, just as a caution measure... So here's to fill that spot.

Now, View of the River Styx is pretty much GGs for this channel. The solo that kicks in at 5:42 is one of the best I've listened to in my frickin' life. It really reminisces me of Jeff Loomis there, just sheer crunchy riff ecstasy there. The 8 string guitar and 5 string bass join forces with a low-tuned melody and a great progressive composition throughout the whole track.

You can notice these guys put a whole lot of substance in their songs, and while not deviating gratuitiously from the originals, they make full-fledged arranges on their own.

The souls of the damned, the honourable and the twisted mix in this sanzu river rhapsody: the tale of a shinigami who caries the spirits of the dead upon the dreadful road to the final judgment.
