Ningen Isu | Kaijin nijū mensō | Album

Ningen Isu's ninth studio album, Kaijin Nijū Mensō (The Mystery Man of Twenty Faces / The Fiend with Twenty Faces), is a conceptually tight, brilliantly dark piece of progressive doom metal. Released in 2000, it draws thematic inspiration directly from the mystery and horror novels of acclaimed Japanese author Edogawa Ranpo. It functions as a bridge between the band’s late-90s experimentalism and the modern, razor-sharp heavy metal precision they became known for later in their career.
