Paledusk are finally here with their first-ever full-length album, and it’s nothing short of genre-defying chaos.
The Fukuoka metalcore mavericks have unveiled PALEDUSK, a 12-track odyssey fusing metal, hip-hop, hardcore, and rock into one shape-shifting sonic beast. Over 10 years in the making, this long-awaited debut captures the band’s fearless experimentation and explosive energy like never before.
“This is the album I’ve been most eager to hear,” shares KAITO. “Every painful moment, every joyful moment we’ve shared as Paledusk has meaning — and I believe this album captures all of it.”
The album includes standout moments like the raging anime anthem ‘HUGs’ (TV anime Gachiakuta opening theme), the wild ride of ‘SUPER NATURAL HIGH feat. 唾奇’, and the curveball collab ‘NO WAY!! feat. 粗品’. It’s an electrifying showcase of the band’s bold creative spirit — from the high-octane ‘PALEHELL’ to the tender, music-box closer ‘BIG M MELODY’.
“We poured our souls into this album,” says DAIDAI. “If it becomes a treasure for anyone aspiring to create future rock, then we’ve achieved our goal. This is a new form of rock.”
Fans can catch PALEDUSK live when the band kicks off the What is Paledusk?? TOUR 2026 this coming February in Japan. “We can’t wait to show the latest Paledusk live — see you at the venues!” adds TSUBASA.

2-disc set: PALEDUSK + indie best-of collection, with stickers and pre-sale code for Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya tour stops — ¥6,500 (tax incl.)
