Review by Kaifei Wang

Forever Lasting Twilight by Smash The Brain: A Brutal Sonic Assault That Still Kicks Ass Alright, let’s get straight to it. Forever Lasting Twilight is one of those albums that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go until the last distorted chord fades into oblivion. Released back in 2003 under Lights Out Records, this Japanese metalcore beast hits hard with its mix of melodic death metal riffs and raw aggression. Yeah, it's not perfect—some transitions feel clunky—but damn if it doesn’t leave a mark. Now, I gotta talk about "Introspection" first because holy hell, this track slams harder than a steel door in a hurricane. It opens with these eerie clean guitars that lull you into a false sense of calm before BAM—it drops like a freight train full of bricks. The vocals? Pure venom. They alternate between guttural growls and soaring screams so intense they might make your ears bleed (in a good way). This song sticks with me because it feels like an emotional rollercoaster wrapped in razor wire. You can almost picture the band smashing their instruments on stage while performing it. Fucking wild. Then there’s “Eternal Pursuit,” which is just relentless from start to finish. The drumming here is insane—blast beats for days—and the dual guitar harmonies are sharp enough to cut glass. What makes this track unforgettable is how it builds tension without ever losing momentum. Around the midway point, everything slows down briefly, teasing some kind of breather, but nah, they just crank it up even more. By the time it ends, you’re left gasping for air, wondering what the fuck just happened. That’s the magic of Smash The Brain—they don’t hold back. The rest of the album keeps the energy high too. Tracks like “Deah Comes Along” and “Dark Age” bring plenty of heaviness, though nothing quite matches the sheer impact of the two bangers I mentioned earlier. And sure, songs like “Grief” lean a bit too much into melodrama, but hey, at least they’re trying something different. Looking back, it’s kinda crazy to think this came out nearly two decades ago. Japan isn’t exactly known as a hotbed for metalcore, yet Smash The Brain proved they could hang with the big dogs. Honestly, listening to this now feels like finding an old scar—you remember the pain, but also the fire that caused it. If you’re into music that punches you in the face and then kicks you while you’re down, Forever Lasting Twilight deserves a spot in your collection. And here’s the kicker: despite all the chaos, this album somehow feels… hopeful? Like yeah, life sucks sometimes, but we can still rage against the machine. Fucked up world needs fucked up music, right?
