almost reminds me of one of those deep fried memes

inspiration? 🤔

SUSTAIN THAT!

unless it's some cover surfacing effects not translating onto a 2D image it's absolute pretentious ugly-ass trash x

Every time I listen to Alice Nine's Jellyfish, I have such a fucking moment.

Hello to this heaven, I came back from hell, probably the second time 😉 yeah.. I took myself away from all online social media platforms three years ago I would say. but yes! Girugamesh is what brought me back, listening to their old school tunes got me thinking of Jrock again! I think I said this in my previous, "I'm Back!" post. I really don't keep up with any news of Jrock of today. I guess for Dir en Grey I do know, but that was pretty much unavoidable for me. Still listen to their music time to time. but yes for the most part, clueless. What I still listen to are, Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer, Moi Dix Mois, emmuree, The God and Death Stars and Girugamesh. I REALLY love weird fuckin music, so I'll be looking for that. Recommend, mention, comment and hopefully it'll be in my path to see. I listen to all worlds of music. Does anyone remember me? No? its okay. You're probably not here either. again! Hello to everyone!

To be fair, you have to have a very high I.Q. to understand DIR EN GREY album art.

It literally looks like something that was slapped together by some intern who learned how to work Photoshop like five minutes ago, idk why y'all are reading so deeply into this as if it has some profound and deep meaning

all this for some shitty japanese nu-metal

I can definitely also see the paralels to sukekiyo, in both bands! As for Black Metal or DSBM and VK together, it's actually very surprising that there aren't more bands doing it. With all the occultism, depression, suicide and general nihilism in the themes many bands are using and the fact that basically any metal genre can be considered 'VK music' now as long as the band has the look and plays at certain events its not that unlikely. Recently I saw a japanese article about Madmans Esprit and that genre combination that is very in-depth and it way interesting to read. Although I was surprised of them calling early mucc DSBM. Actually he is the guitarist of ms. isohp romatem while their vocalist is support guitarist for his live shows. Your point still stands, though. The metal scene in South Korea is already shockingly small and a visual kei scene pretty much does not exist anymore except for 3-4 bands. BP records bands keep playing shows there, though. So there has to be at least something... btw, new look of ms. isohp romatem

That album cover is almost worse than Sustain the Untruth’s cover.

Let’s be honest, people here would find a way to hate it no matter what it looked like.

I've been away from the forum for a few monthst, just lurked here and there sometimes, but now I'm back, yay! (Yeah, as if someone cares...)

Thanks! Its alright, you've probably talked more than me than my whole time being in this website and even before it was monochrome-heaven. I was shy really.

I can't tell if I like it more or less than the pink monkey man or naked green alien butt artwork covers of past years.

Ninth was pretty cool IMO though

cosplay http://kyotakumrau.tumblr.com/post/177304722837/ranunculus-video-wow-a-freak-show-circus-a RANUNCULUS video. Wow. A freak show, circus, a spooky spectacle, dark fairytale.

The two CDs arrived pretty fast and all packaged with care. Thank you for all!

HAHA ! THIS ! LOVE the artwork btw - i cannot wait for the real thing to be released

yeah,that's it.and for sure, if they were japanese they would be one of the most commented bands here their sound really impresses me,plus the "korean essence" in it ,which something that i'm not used to as i said btw,the diversity,the passion,the elegant and at the same time sinister atmosphere on some tracks gives me strong Sukekiyo's vibes and it's one of the favorite bands of the vocalist,so he's definitely influenced i'm excited for this release,and glad that i've found someone to discuss about these guys their other project is pretty interesting as well

I agree 100%! Pretty sure if it was Japanese, people on the forum would already be hyping it. But the Korean language matches this style of music very well.

well...that's the truth .

Official artworks unveiled, one for each edition: Wasn't expecting this... I thought they were going for a different art style, similar to the one hinted at the lastest promotional band photoshoot (white, pure and kind of ethereal, with some sort of a 'traditional asian' vibe -at least that was what Kaoru, Toshiya and Die's clothes seemed to hint for me). This looks like a mix between Tool and Björk. I really like it, but it seems weird! I give a lot of importance to an album's artwork, and it changes how I perceive its music. The only thing I do not like is the deathcore-ish font. On a second thought, it looks like a similar font to In Flames' 'A Sense of Purpose'...

According to Visunite official twitter "Last Cross" are signed with them now.

(ex- THE KIDDIE Vo. Yusa) should be in the title. This is awesome news xD I love how this sounds im excited for Yusa's return also ex-12012 and TRA TRA nice lineup @Yukimoto Check this out I almost mmissed this

Thanks you for this translation 😍. This song is sad ;-;.

I'm guessing they censored a bunch of stuff to try and make the band seem more risque than they really are. I mean, one of the words they censored was "AV" (meaning adult video). They also censored him jacking off the microphone. So my guess is they're just trying to make themselves way edgier.

Here is a very bad lighting bad quality picture of my vaporwave collection. Not in pic: SAILORWAVE, A Million Miles Away and FANTASY LP's I'll make a pleasing one later! That will include the Vinyl's and items that still have to arrive.

Personally I don't own the lyrics. There is no booklet on this release. You need to find a japanese speaker for a transcription sorry

their 1st single will be released at 2018/11/10

I absolutely despise StU. It's the most overplayed, yet most boring song in their entire catalogue and for reasons beyond my understanding, they feel the need to include it on nearly every release. It's three times on ANDROGYNOS, once on ARCHE, three times on ARCHE AT NIPPON BUDOKAN, twice on DSS AT NIPPON BUDOKAN, once on the MTV live, once on the SUSTAIN THE UNTRUTH single, once on TOUR14, once on TOUR16-17 TMOAB, of course once on VESTIGE OF SCRATCHES and again on ARCHE as a remix. I have it 15 times in my discography and 200 scrobbles on last.fm .__. But apparently they've performed it only ~172 times, which is nothing compared to the ~535 times OBSCURE was performed.

Arche has some great songs but it’s not very fun to listen to all the way through. There are too many songs that are neither fast and heavy nor melodic and emotional so they just end up in a really boring middle ground. I love songs like Rinkaku, Behind a Vacant Image, Kaishun and Tousei, or on the opposite end of the spectrum, songs like Midwife, Revelation of Mankind, Uroko and The Inferno. But, like, does anyone really like Soshaku that much? Or Sustain the Untruth? Some of the songs just felt like filler.

Nice to hear people like them! Their full lineup for the upcoming Korea/Japan shows has been revealed:

Yay for Yusa and Hiroki! NORMCORE? was great until the chorus started...

The stuff they are starting out with isn't too bad at all. Will keep my eye on them and see what else they put out for sure.

Just attended the 10th incarnation of Inner Awakening Festival here in Budapest, 100% underground black metal mayhem over two nights as expected. Some thoughts on the participating bands: Day 1 Goatcraft (Slovakia) - Started off things nicely, nothing remarkable but solid black metal with a nice atmosphere. Lepra (Hungary) - Total crushing darkness as they always do. One of the best and most recognizable Hungarian BM bands currently imo. Kaosophia (Ukraine) - These guys were the highlights for me on the first night. Highly atmospheric, and catchy yet technical stuff. Impressive! Inferno (Czech Republic) - I wasn't feeling it. The weak sound (after what seemed to be the longest soundcheck of all time) ruined it most of all. I left halfway through Inferno's set cuz I was really tired and sleepy, so I couldn't see Mortuus (Sweden) but heard they were good. Day 2 Niedergang (Hungary) - Great start. Excellent guitarplay with equal amounts of moody and thrashy, a bit of a mid-90s throwback vibe. Dunkelheit (Hungary) - Holy moly, this was the loudest gig at the whole fest probably, lol. Stylistically they were similar to Niedergang, so pretty solid. До Скону / Do Skonu (Ukraine) - These guys had more of a death metal sound. Would've been a nice refreshment if they weren't so utterly boring. Meh. Head of The Demon (Sweden) - YES. YESSS. YEEESSS!!! I came just for this band and they killed us all. They were very different from the rest of the lineup, dare I say not even 'pure' black metal (but certainly with BM elements). It's like someone traveled back in time to give a group of occult magicians a Black Sabbath and a Neurosis record to write ritualistic demon-conjuring music. Had a really trippy, airy and esoteric doom vibe. Great stage presence too, not something I'd say for most of the other bands, heh. After HOTD there was still Hell Militia (France) left but I had to go before they took the stage cuz I had early-shift work today, mehhh. All in all, a really cool time. Only negative thing was the unpredictable lengths of the soundchecks (two years ago they managed to solve it really punctually, so I thought everything would go according to schedule now too), but it was tolerable still. Can't wait for them to announce next year's lineup!

i just want a return to kazoku style LOL

lady gaga is the crazy

today my distant crush and i coincidentally wore matching plaid shirts today and it was kinda embarrassing but then i felt more happy and my heart beat a little i wish i could talk to her..... this is also my first time having such a crush on a girl, i didn't know i had this gayness in me until she showed up on another note, i wish someone would make dinner for me for once. my parents are still so traditional that everybody has to sit at the table for dinner ughh and i'm usually the one who has to cook dinner.......i'm so tired of this

My favorite album this year (though the 🍈 didn't approve *angery face*.) I've started listening to Denzel's TA13OO, and it's pretty gooood. --- As for "unique", my gateway to a lot of hip-hop has been jazz. Listening to more melodic tracks kinda ate away at the distance I had with traditional rap, and helped me embrace more "mainstream" artists.

The whole band's name is hinting at their preference for older gay men to take them: Dad aroma

yesn't

I ctrl+F'd this page and it had no Juri (ex-DELUHI) SMH guys. One of the best, least nasal vk-core vocalists right there.
