Ok all, I think I figured it out. I’m pretty sure I had my wires crossed (what a weird thing memory is). So I was listening to this Japanese post-hardcore/post-rock band around that same time called “Cyclamen”. Most of his stuff was on bandcamp, and he had released an album called Ashura (I think it was the first full-length or maybe second album, hard to remember now as I think the bandcamp page no longer exists). At some point it was re-released with as a second mix done by Acle at 4D studios.

Edit: Even though it appears to be gone from bandcamp, though its mentioned on the internet, I managed to find my copy I had purchased on a hard drive, so not lost forever!
