Finnish power metal band METAL DE FACTO returns with Land Of The Rising Sun – Part II – the next chapter in their epic tribute to Japan's history, culture, and mythology. Building on their debut Imperium Romanum (2019) and the first part of the “Rising Sun” saga, the band presents their most powerful, dynamic, and mature work to date.

Produced and mixed by Esa Orjatsalo, the album offers a natural, organic sound with powerful drums, energetic guitars, and a broad, cinematic production. Musically, the spectrum ranges from Helloween, Gamma Ray, and Stratovarius to atmospheric influences à la Pink Floyd, Queensrÿche, and modern metal elements.

Guest musician Ryoji Shinomoto (Ruyjin) lends the album an authentic touch with traditional Japanese instruments, bridging the gap between Far Eastern culture and Western power metal.
