The long awaited second album from Far East Ghost from Triplag Music is a two-disc album containing 15(+2 bonus) tracks.
The first disc -- titled Emperor -- is a conceptual album unleashing 9 never-before-heard solo tracks based on the motifs of the spiritual empire and emperor that resides within the mental realm each individual.
All vocals, guitars, drums, bass, and other instruments, along with production and mastering are done completely by Takeomi himself without any compromise,
enabling the listener to enjoy the complete package brought forth from the Far East Ghost Empire.
The second disc, called Return of the Bastard, is a remix extravaganza of the original Far East Ghost track with the same name - featuring
Far East Ghost's esteemed conspirators, Savage Scream, Fatal Discord, Baphomet Engine, Datakult, and Adi.
To simply call this a bonus disc would be an injustice
-- check out how Far East Ghost's fast and heavy metallic sound is chopped, diced, and prepared by these master chefs.

Review by Acidhive
Far East Ghost (Takeomi Matsuura) is out with his second album. This time it's a double album, divided into Emperor, which is the main CD, and a second CD with remixes for the track Return of the Bastard and two versions for tracks from the album.
To describe the music of Far East Ghost one moniker comes to mind and that is: dark.
Even for dark psytrance this album stays on the low spectrum of things, containing little melodies in most tracks and real fast bpms, reaching over 160/170 in some tracks. There's loads of dark atmosphere in these tracks, and it's a clear fact that Far East Ghost likes metal and industrial as well, as two of the songs on here, Rebellion and Revolt have voice samples from metal and guitar sampling. Most dark psytrance relies heavily on sampling from thriller and horror movies, but Far East Ghost seems content to create dark atmospheres with sound. The album is best digested as a whole, because then it really creates a dark and menacing feel and environment. This is reflected in the album's artwork as well, which is also very dark.
