Our band’s name “邪宗門(XYACIEUXMONTS)“means a group of pagans. Watching our photograph, you can easily understand that the name is reasonable. And our music style is quite unique at the point of using both ancient and modern instruments on this album. The style is made by them in the result from their struggle for their musical history. This album’s title “Abandoned and aborted” is for the girls standing on the street of the downtown area in Kabukicho, Tokyo. The scenes are extraordinary, and miserable for them and our Japan, so we describe the situation with our own music.
異端者の集団、という意味の日本の古語「邪宗門」。我々の写真を見れば一目瞭然であろう。数世紀も前の古楽器と、機械然とした現代楽器を携えた奇妙な風体の3人の男達、まさしく「邪宗門」そのものだ。我々は大好きな音楽を真摯に追求した結果、一般的な音楽からかけ離れた「邪宗門」と化してしまったのだ。この曲集は我々「邪宗門」の初の公式作品集である。大都会の繁栄の、その代価として「廃棄された」「切捨てられた」少女たちの姿を、古楽器とシンセサイザーを用いて描いた。だがアニメの可愛らしい絵を想像してはならない。これは腐った政府、世情に対し鉄槌を下す「檄ビラ」なのだ。さあ、目を覚ませ!
