Progressive power metal duo Roman so Words started life in 2010 as a side project of then-MinstreliX keyboardist Yui. Future Octaviagrace vocalist Miki joined later the same year. Melodic power metal forms the core of their sound, interwoven with Yui's synth arrangements, accordion interludes and protracted solo battles with assorted guest guitarists. These have included the likes of his old MinstreliX colleague Takao, and TERU of Versailles fame.
Neoclassical power metal band MinstreliX's first album in seven years, featuring a guest appearance by GALNERYUS keyboardist YUHKI, drops on September 29th.
