To start off, Deluhi was one of my favorite Japanese hard rock bands from the moment of their conception. Their debut EP, Surveillance, was acceptable, but I didn't realize their true intense talent and power until their song "Orion Once Again." However, my love for this band came almost solely from Juri's immense vocal prowess and Leda's sheer ( Read more... )
