THE TRIPTYCH
Mettazashi Hiro
Visual kei / hard rock. Three tracks, one arc: before the curtain, the step into the light, what's left after the roar.

Track list
01. Curtain of Knives — 3:34
    The moment before you walk on stage. White knuckles, the count, the breath before the scream.
02. Lights On — 3:32
    The step into the spotlight when every instinct says stay hidden. Choosing to be seen anyway.
03. After the Scream — 3:42
    The empty venue, the ringing ears, the quiet after the crowd goes home. What the scream leaves behind.

Notes
Written in four days, August 1-4, 2026. I didn't plan a trilogy. I made the first song about the moment before something happens, and the second one turned out to be about the moment it happens, and then the third one showed up and it was the moment after. Three songs in a row about thresholds, without me deciding that's what I was doing. That's just where my head lives.

Lyrics, concept, and direction are mine. Vocals and instrumentation generated with Suno. Cover art generated, black stage, one red light, nobody in the room.
