When I think about anime songs that give me that dark Halloween feeling, Clattanoia by OxT definitely comes to mind. I didn’t even watch Overlord, I just came across the song on Spotify, but that’s how amazing it is. I decided to look in the band and found out they had more than 10 anime songs, thus deserving of their own article like this.
According to Wikipedia, “OxT is a Japanese musical group signed to Pony Canyon and Kadokawa. It consists of vocalist/guitarist Masayoshi Ōishi and guitarist Tomohiro Ōshima, known professionally as Tom Hack (stylized as Tom-H@ck).”
“Ōishi and Tom Hack first collaborated in 2013, when they worked on the song “Go Exceed”, which was used as the first opening theme to the anime television series Ace of Diamond. They would collaborate again the following year with the song “Perfect Hero”, which was used as the second opening theme to Ace of Diamond. Both songs were credited as “Tom Hack featuring Masayoshi Ōishi”.
“In 2015, Ōishi and Tom Hack formed the group OxT; the group’s name is pronounced “okuto” in Japanese. OxT’s first release was the single “Kimero!!” which came out on May 20, 2015; the title track is used as the second ending theme to the second season of Ace of Diamond. Their second single “Clattanoia” was released on August 26, 2015″
