Fugue State is a MOT Rock (Modular Orchestral Transcription) band specializing in Metal variants of Classical music of the 18th, 19th & 20th Centuries. Their signature piece, War God, a thunderous eight minutes requiring the assistance of thirty bass guitars and as many slightly out of tune electric guitars, truly brings G. Holst's original into the age of Total War. Other pieces include Valkyrie Thunder, a scorching rendition of Ride of the Valkyrie complete with Metal Valkyrie laughter, and Mosh-Pit Macabre, a Hard Metal Speed-Waltz.
Members
- Asada Strangelove
- The Lead Guitar is a little bit of all Humanity that comes together in Pan World perfection. She's a cool cucumber with the exception of her streak of xenophilia.
- Khimera Chang
- The Second Guitar, a nerdy Chinese girl who's all Buddy Holly by way of Johnny Rotten, has a truly remarkable singing range extending from Contralto all the way up to Soprano. Also, she's a rocking guitarist!
- Suki Suki (Suki to the second power)
- The bottle-blonde, five-foot-nothing cutie Japanese drummer, and enthusiastic ingénue of the band.
- Dazzle Ardent
- Punk Green Orion keyboardist with spiky black hair, an alarming assortment of piercings and a penchant for colorful verbiage.
- Aerial Cypher
- The statuesque Kenyan bassist towers above her band mates as she adds the heartbeats & backbones to the tunes.
Discography

- Frenching Metal
- Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse macabre gets a Speed-Metal reworking in Mosh-Pit Macabre. Also popular in this album is a variant of Joseph-Maurice Ravel's Boléro entitled Zipless.
- Der Rock Ring des Nibelungen : Das Rhinemetal
- A complete Hard Rock translation of Das Rhinegold that plays out like Mad Max by way of Queen. Highlights include the Rhinegrrrl's Gig and Rocking into Valhalla.
