First Escapade To Serenity release of 2022.
Escapade To Serenity is back with another entry into so-called Nu Asian Black Metal. Laden with brutal yet melodic tremolo riffs, fast-paced drum work, thrashing guitars, and a grim atmosphere,「Encounters At Shi Ting」provides a black metal experience like no other.
The song tells the tale of the mystical fray of the leader of Shu Han, Liu Bei, against the remnants of the serpentine forces of Orochi under the banner of the vixen Da Ji.

lyrics
Da Ji, mistress of the serpent
Sows discord within the realm
Brewing wrath in Shi Ting
Agenda to spread is hellbent
Pressing advance, into the fray
The ruling king of Shu, Liu Bei
To uphold peace and harmony
Lifted his king's blade, to defend with his army
Petrified, grim sorcery
Shu forces stand in dismay
The serpentine breath inched close
Every second, without repose
Eventually, wizard was seen
Hiding in a garrison
Hastily, the king who struck
Liberated his still, anxious brethren
Lo, upon swift steed
The merciless tyrant, Dong Zhuo
Blessed arrival, behold
From Zuo Ci of mystics old
Thwarted away the tyrant's blade
and aided the Shu forces along the way
Some ethereal force has brought on unworldly might
Into the fortress where
Sly fox Da Ji lies
She dares to see
Presence of a great mystic
Taigong Wang
With his rod, he breached
The stalwart defense
and prompted her retreat
He joined the noble king of Shu
Formed by 16-year old Mirai, Escapade To Serenity, hailing from Asia, mixes the Ramones' buzzsaw punk style with the
aggression and melodies of metalcore, and raw melancholy of black metal..
Escapade To Serenity covers themes of emotions, tranquility, fantasy, alienation, and anxiety.
