Bloody Tyrant's upcoming album HAGAKURE, set to be released in 2018, has differed from the previous fast, aggressive musical direction, and has instead changed into more of a folk metal influence while exploring the mysterious sense of Japanese zen style.
The new album HAGAKURE talks about the minds of the samurai, philosophy of life and death, and subjectively ruminate and reflect upon the ways of the samurai.

暴君2018年發行新專輯《HAGAKURE》，完全轉型新曲風，一改過往的高速、衝擊，轉變為帶有日本孤峭禪意的民謠金屬團。
新專輯《HAGAKURE》，論武士心性，論死亡哲學，也客觀寫下對武士道的反芻與省思。

Lyric:
On the battlefield with a blunted blade,
But my servile heart is still polished by bones.
A core of iron inside the solid honed blade,
Enemies are annihilated by its flashing shade.
Like the blade, flexile yet tough,
Cast in flame, my soul of iron glows,
As with clay, temper lines surface.
Curved back, such a beautiful craft.
Armour protecting,
Blade slaughtering.
Every stance before my eyes is well prepared to fight.
Gazing up at the firmament,
Dreaming of death,
The tip of my sword points towards the future,
An enigmatic, unknown future.
Stacking, heating, forging,
The iron becomes one.
Folding, tempering, quenching,
The blade comes to life.
Draw my sword,
Radiant light.
Hamon’s shadow,
Reflects on my mind.
