Japanese rock legends BUCK-TICK are set to release their new album SUBROSA on December 4, featuring 17 powerful tracks, including the soon-to-be-released single “Raijin Fujin - Resonance.” Fans can look forward to a diverse selection of music, with contributions from longtime members Hisashi Imai and Hidehiko Hoshino. Several of the songs are penned by Hoshino, while Imai has composed a number of instrumental pieces.

Mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis Studios, and with vinyl cutting handled by Katsutoshi Kitamura from Warner Music Mastering, the album also boasts striking cover art designed by acclaimed art director Kazunori Akita. Special limited editions will include exclusive footage, such as a behind-the-scenes documentary, a long-form interview with the band—the first since their recent lineup change—plus music video shooting sessions.

To celebrate the upcoming release, a special advance listening event will be held on Thursday, November 28, 2024, in three cities: Tokyo, Aichi, and Osaka. This exclusive event offers a unique chance for fans to experience the album in full before its official release.
