Rejoice, Japanophiles!

'Rejoice, Japanophiles! 'is the third full-length studio album by the metal band The Blackest of Suns, released on June 14, 2011. It would be the second and last material from the group to be issued under Sumerian Records, and also the only release to feature Nicolai King on rhythm guitar. The album follows a similar procedure to Somewhere Under the Rainbow (The Blackest of Suns' debut), for which a session member had to be chosen; in Rejoice, Japanophiles!'s case, Greg Puciato offered to handle the vocal duties.

Stylistically, this record has a lot more in common with the band's first studio album than the previous outing, Bring the Pain. Elements of dark wave were also added in.
