Bloody Holic
Yuuka's thin voice coupled with a relaxing ambient opens the song, before several strong guitar chords interrupt and unravel into strong techno-rock with slightly gothic chord progressions. Crack Promt Standard 9.0 on this page. As the synthage dies down, the verse returns to a slower tempo, but we finally get to hear the vocals becoming a bit stronger and living up to the standard Yuki Kajiura set for her all the way back in FictionJunction, although the arrangement strays off that path, combining many elements from different styles, and coupling the piano with guitars and synths.
Unfortunately, her voice becomes filtered once the song builds up to the chorus, but they are the needed strength since the instrumental is surprisingly absent with techno-rock, being much more subdued, and fitting into the middle eight section, which is crossed with very distorted but silent electric guitars and the piano. As the firstly unnoticeable whispers grow into a real Gregorian choir, the song slips into the serene environment from the beginning, followed by a short drum solo which returns us to the final chorus. BLOODY HOLIC is nothing especially epic, nor it strives to do so, but it's very pleasant overall. In contrast with the name 'snow wind' with which we'd usually expect a seasonal ballad of sorts, after the unimposing introduction a rock-ish instrumentation is present but with it being subdued and overflown with ambiental synths, the atmosphere becomes quite melancholic, laid-back and shows the 80s retro charm all while the tempo-giving drums act as a layer present during the whole track. The B-side is actually better suited to Yuuka's vocals, as they aren't really suited to more outgoing, heavier style, and the nice, relaxing note of it ties everything together nicely.

I am a little bit in awe with Crimson Bound. Left 4 Dead 2 Update 2.0 X X-2.0.3.7. I've read a lot of books lately, but none were able to grab my attention and keep me captivated quite as Crimson Bound. Lyrics to 'Bloody Holic ~Add Chorus Mix 2015' by ειδΎι¦. Schleicher Ask 13 Flight Manual.
