Synra Bansho

Rachel Mother Goose (RMG) recorded and released first album, Magic Wand, independently in 2000, and signed with Japanese heavy metal label, Jackhammer Music. Following the release of the second album, Nadir (2002), the group changed all members but Hideshi Ueki, and performed at World Rock Fest in August, 2003, held by the Universiade in South Korea. The third album, Fortune Missionary (2004), and fourth record, Signs (2006) followed next.

In 2014, RMG changed into a solo project of Hideshi Ueki with first-rate support members: singer Sunghoon Kim from South Korea, bassist Kaz Nakamura of Kelly Simonz’s Blind Faith, keyboardist Takumi Matsubara and drummer Yosuke Yokoyama. After writing new songs for the new album, they got down to pre-production in early 2016. Seeking for vivid acoustic sounds, they started recordings at Tapestry Recording Studio with engineer Fuyuhiko Inui in July, where Japanese bands like Solitude, Outrage and United have recorded as well. While Shinya Tange produced the drum sounds, Yusuke Abe from Outrage and Saeko Kitamae also guested in some songs. Last but not least, they got Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline) to mix and master their songs.

On January 25th, 2017, RMG released their fifth album, Tokiwa No Sai via Spiritual Beast (Universal Music). In March 2018, Yosuke Yokoyama left the band and was replaced by Hiroki Hori. In January 2018, RMG participated in a band competition to get to Wacken Open air in Germany and made it into the finals. This was followed by a Japanese tour together with Powerized from The Netherlands. A concert with Circus Maximus from Norway followed in Nagoya Japan later that year. In June 2020, the recordings of Synra Bansho started at Inui Joy sound 601 studio with engineer Fuyuhiko Inui. Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline) mixed and mastered it in September 2020.
