about
Welcome to the first full HOG COVER!
A to-be series of our most beloved Touhou Metal tracks, faithfully recreated, yet with a twist a twist to make it worth your while.
UNDEAD CORPORATION, UnCo for short, should be a household name to all of you; one of the pillars of the early Doujin Metal scene, I fell in love with this band's work way back around 2010.
They have everything from frantic drumming, crushing tone and furious riffs to melodious hooks, emotional harmonies and that feeling of unrefined anger and angst.
"Phantom Ensemble", one of the tracks featured on the famed and beloved Barrage Am Ring 1, is probably one of my favourite tracks that UnCo has ever released, so I knew that eventually, I had to try and pay tribute to it.
Together with my dear HOG bros of blood and mead - Micu and Starlix - this full fledged cover of one of my all-time favourite arrangements, defaced, Popu-fied as it were, is finally here.
I hope my little re-imagined sections are as exciting to your ears as I had joy realizing them.
Keep your eyes and ears peeled, for there is much more siccness to come!
Thank you for listening!
Touhou. Metal. Forever.
~The Popu

H.O.G. is an international extreme touhou metal collaborative sampler held annually every year. Featuring artists and
circles from everywhere, we promise to bring only the best arrangements possible.
Yumi Sakata is one of the most exciting projects within the modern Touhou Metal scene! Their clear urge to push boundaries, and push Touhou composition in places it's never been before is amazing. Holmgang Ov Gensokyo
The Last Battalion is by far a completely underrated, yet over-qualified arranger within the scene. Their fusion of modern 8-string djent, mixed in with fantastic production does wonders for your ears Holmgang Ov Gensokyo
Supplementing sasscore insanity with bolstered vocals and pop-punk songcraft, the California band are kicking ass and breaking boundaries. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024
