STRAIGHTENER

Artist

A Japanese four-piece rock band centered on vocalist-guitarist Atsushi Horie. Renowned for solid musicianship and literary songwriting, they have been a leading presence in the scene for years, moving freely between fierce energy and lyrical introspection. For 'Braver,' the opening theme of the TV anime Angolmois: Record of Mongol Invasion, the band answers the resolve and prayers of the exiled warriors defending Tsushima against the Mongol fleet, slicing open the story with powerful guitar riffs and a soaring melody.
