Since then, Sex Virgin Killer's next step as a goth darkwave band, which is also gaining recognition worldwide, was an unknown crossbreeding. The lead song on this album is a re-recorded version of one of SVK's best-known songs, ‘Virgin Killer’, reworked as a Visual Shock Noise Version. The song crosses the opposites of visual-kei and noise music and fuses them together throughout the song, presenting a new sound that is unparalleled. The second track is ‘Glimpse’ from ‘DEVIL’. This track also crosses the visual-kei elements of SVK with noise, and achieves a unique sound image. The noise on both tracks is performed by SVK mastermind Lilii Mar a.k.a masa himself. The mixing and mastering was done by Koichi Hara, a renowned engineer in the Japanese rock/loud scene who has mixed many unorthodox artists. His skills have further strengthened the persuasive power of this album as a new music genre and format. SVK, which was initially formed under the concept of Visual-kei, plays noise music and cross-fertilises its own musical world with its presence, A new type of music called ‘Visual Shock Noise’ was born, which contains the band's history. When you touch this work, you become a witness to history.

The album contains a total of 11 tracks, including 5 single lead tracks, with Japanese hardcore, metal punk, gothic, death rock, darkwave, visual sound, noise and the 'crying melody' of Lilii Mar aka masa, which is also SVK's DNA, scattered throughout! SVK stopped their activities in 2018, but made a comeback in 2021, led by mastermind 'Lilii Mar aka masa'. Here is the culmination of their new transformation, destroying the iconic form established by 2018 as visual shock metal themselves and swallowing up sounds and talents from all scenes. It is truly a demon that has bonded with a new 'demon' and taken on a more beautiful and more ferocious body, with Aisha, the main vocalist of the post SVK relaunch, freely controlling the demon's maniacal voice. The new SVK is a band in its own right, but also a project that brings together a diverse array of artists in terms of sound, art and visuals. The album was self-recorded and mixed by Lilii Mar herself, Atsuo (Boris), who also produced the sound for SVK's previous albums, Koichi Hara, known as a master engineer, and Yu Kimijima (TSUBAME STUDIO), who is renowned for his alternative textures. Mastering was done by Nakamura Soichiro (Peace Music), and previously released tracks were remastered and recorded with a new sound image. The cover art is by world-renowned collage artist Kosuke Kawamura, who also worked on the previous VAZINISM album. The design/layout by Keigo Kurematsu is a series of ivy-like lyrics.
