'The Path of Yuki Onna' is the experimental new single from Progressive Metal artist TDW, combining his love for Japanese folklore and sounds with his signature brand progressive metal music.
Like releasing two albums in one year is not enough hard work, TDW comes back with the first single of 2022 showcasing a new side to his progressive metal sound with the song 'The Path of Yuki Onna'. A unique fusion of the known TDW elements with Japanese folklore in both lyrics & music.
The song features the sounds of the Koto (A 16th century classical 13-stringed instrument) and the Shakuhachi (A 16th century bamboo flute) and telling a story about the mythical snow princess Yuki-Onna who freezes the poor souls that get lost in snowstorms in the Japanese mountains.
The new record by Avandra is a masterclass in melody, melancholy and metal punch that I urge everyone to listen to. Great songwriting with vocal harmonies for days that will be stuck in your head! TDW
