ROTH BART BARON, the acclaimed band with a broad fanbase transcending genres and generations, will release their new album "Names of the Beasts" on November 20th. Hailed as their finest work to date, the album features a stellar lineup of creators from Japan and abroad.

Joining the familiar support musicians, including Takuro Okada (ex. Mori wa Ikiteiru), is a string quartet led by Seigen Tokuzawa, alongside female vocalists Yuga, Ermhoi (black boboi), and Maika Loubté. Furthermore, the 13-year-old HANA, who garnered attention for her appearance at the Yellow Magic Orchestra tribute live in 2019 before her official debut, also contributes.

Further drawing attention is the album's impressive roster of creative collaborators. Art direction and design are by Kazuya Kondo, known for his work on numerous book covers and exhibition posters. Photography is by Seiji Shibuya, a photographer active in magazines and advertisements as well as original works. Costume collaboration is by suzuki takayuki, also known for "The Tailor's Circus." The music video is handled by the "DRAWING AND MANUAL" team, led by video director Seiichi Hishikawa. Two Grammy-winning engineers from overseas, Jonathan Low and L10MixedIt, are involved in mixing, and Chris Athens in mastering. Sali Hayashiguchi of Epiphany Works serves as co-producer.

Ahead of the album's release, a studio live performance video of "Names of the Beasts" and a music video created entirely with cine-calligraphy animation are currently available.
