Crossfaith、ロンドン公演で名門ライヴハウスに2,000人を動員!

Crossfaithが日本時間11月21日(金)朝6:30頃(ロンドン現地時間11月20日(木)21:30頃)、ロンドン市内にある名門ライヴハウス「KOKO」(ココ)にて、自身初となる欧州/UKヘッドライナーツアーのロンドン公演を開催し、約2,000人の観客の前でステージを披露した。

Crossfaithは2006年に大阪で結成された平均年齢25才の5人組ロックバンド。今回彼らが出演した「KOKO」は、古くはセックス・ピストルズ、アイアン・メイデン、クラッシュなどのレジェンドが多く出演し、2000年代でもマドンナ、コールドプレイ、レッド・ホット・チリ・ペッパーズなどの世界的有名アーティストがライヴを行っている1900年から続くイギリスでも屈指の名門ライヴハウスだ。

ライヴは「We Are The Future」からスタート。ヘヴィなギターの上にシンセ/エレクトロがのったサウンドに、会場は早くもモッシュピットの嵐!2000人の観客で埋まった会場の空気はどんどん薄くなり、「Hounds Of The Apocalypse」「The Evolution」 へと続く。

さらに、ライヴ定番曲「Countdown To Hell」「Jägerbomb」の持つ攻撃性が炸裂するサウンドと強烈なブレイクダウンに、スペースもないはずの会場にピットが広がり、再びモッシュの嵐、壮絶なWall Of Deathも巻き起こった。

そして、ライヴ中盤には今年10月にリリースしたメジャー・1stシングル「Madness」をUK初披露。欧米ではまだリリースされてない楽曲だが、WEBを中心にMUSIC VIDEOを既に観ているオーディエンスからシンガロングが起こり、新曲の海外での反応の良さがうかがえる。 続く「Eclipse」は昨年リリースした世界デビューアルバム『APOCALYZE』のリードトラック。 まだまだ聴き足りない、踊り足りない、暴れ足りないオーディエンス達をがっちりロックした。

ライヴ本編ラストの曲は「Counting Stars」。イントロから会場中に響く手拍子、スペーシーなエフェクト、楽曲後半に向けてのコーラスワークや叙情的なリフを含め、壮大な展開をしていく楽曲である。

アンコールは世界中から称賛される、Tatsuyaのドラムソロからスタート。若手最強ドラマーによる圧巻のドラミングに会場全体が大きく揺れた。そしてDJのTeruが登場しTatsuyaのドラミングにエレクトロサウンドが被さり、会場は更にヒートアップ。残りのメンバーも登場し、そのままフルバンドサウンドの 「Monolith」 へと展開していく。

ヨーロッパにCrossfaithを知らしめるきっかけとなった楽曲だけに、オーディエンスも大狂乱!続くプロディジーのカヴァー曲「Omen」も含め再度シンガロングが巻き起こり、原曲であるThe Prodigyの母国らしいこの日一番の盛り上がりをみせた。

アンコールラストの曲は「Leviathan」。荘厳で様式美すら感じるリフから跳ねるリズム、疾走するブルータル・サウンド、日本特有の情緒的で刹那を感じるメロディーライン。これ以上ないオーラスにふさわしい楽曲でCrossfaith初のUKヘッドライナーツアーロンドン公演は幕を閉じた。

今回のツアーはCrossfaithが初めてUKツアーを行った2012年から数えて通算7度目となる今回は昨年9月に発売された世界デビューアルバム『APOCALYZE』を引っ提げてのツアーとなり、オーストリア、スイス、フランス、ベルギー、オランダ、ドイツ、ロシア、イギリスと8カ国20都市で20,000人以上を動員、発売からすると述べ30カ国近くとなる過去最大規模のツアーとなった。

またCrossfaithは、このツアーに先駆けて今年6月にイギリス郊外で3日間、総勢150組のロック・アーティストが参加したヨーロッパ最高峰のロック/メタル・フェスティバルである「DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL 2014」のメイン・ステージにてライヴを行った。メイン・ステージに日本人、いやアジア人が立つのは約10年ぶりのロック史に残る歴史的快挙であり、世界的アーティストが軒並みいる中20,000人以上の観客を動員し、UKメディアからもダウンロード・ベストアクトと評された圧巻のパフォーマンスを披露した。

さらに、先日イギリスの音楽誌「KERRANG!」が発表した“世界で今最も熱いTOP20バンド"では、アジア圏アーティスト史上初の5位に、「K!'S 50 GREATEST ROCKSTARS IN THE WORLD 2014」(世界の偉大なロックスター50選)ではボーカルのKoie(コイエ)が41位にラインクインするなど、海外で彼らの人気は高まるばかり。

LOUDNESS、X JAPANに続く日本発のワールド・スタンダードなロックバンドの遺伝子を引き継いでいるCrossfaith。彼らの国内外での活躍に注目しよう。
