Linked Horizon: The Musical Architects of Attack on Titan

Japanese musical project led by composer and vocalist Revo, renowned for creating the iconic theme songs for the Attack on Titan anime series.Linked Horizon is a spin-off project created by Revo, the mastermind behind the symphonic rock band Sound Horizon. Formed specifically for collaborations, most famously with the Attack on Titan franchise, the project blends symphonic rock, orchestral elements, and powerful narrative lyrics. It debuted in 2012 with the single 'Guren no Yumiya' (Red Swan) for Attack on Titan Season 1, achieving massive success. Linked Horizon continued to provide opening themes for subsequent seasons ('Jiyuu no Tsubasa', 'Shinzou wo Sasageyo!', 'Shoukei to Shikabane no Michi') and released several albums, including 'Shingeki no Kiseki' and 'Shin eiyū-tachi'. While primarily associated with Attack on Titan, Linked Horizon has also created theme songs for games like 'Brave Frontier'.
  • Linked Horizon was created solely for the purpose of the Attack on Titan collaboration, becoming far more famous than initially anticipated due to the anime's global phenomenon status.
  • Revo is known for incorporating intricate storytelling and foreshadowing elements from the Attack on Titan manga into the lyrics of Linked Horizon songs, creating a deeper connection for fans who analyze them.
  • The project maintains an air of mystery; Revo rarely gives interviews as Linked Horizon, and live performances are infrequent and highly anticipated events, often featuring elaborate staging and costumes.
  • Despite its massive success tied to Attack on Titan, Linked Horizon's output outside this collaboration is relatively limited, focusing mainly on theme songs for other media like games.
