never found a name with a wetter mouth-feel than

(this reminds me of Amaji/Kindai Black so much)

The last album was awful, and lately, I’ve been disliking their singer’s voice, so... it’s okay. Maybe in the future we’ll get a new 2013-DEZERT copy band with a vocalist who can actually sing.

I love how they call literally one concert a 'tour'. Good for them tho!

THIS. Was fun while it lasted, too bad.

Starting the year with a massive vk wipe 😕

the man SPEAKS!!! and he's in a relationship [allegedly]!!!! it's almost as if he's an actual human being...remarkable

this is misa's fault

Or talking about Laputa to a Spanish speaking person.

Another chapter has been written and filed away into the ever growing library of visual kei history, so we resume our customary annual review of all of the great albums that saw the light of day in 2018. Unlike previous years, we elected to wait until the middle of January so the stragglers of the year had their fair chance to weigh in. This list is also not in any specific order, although DIMLIM's CHEDOARA deserves a mention for getting the most votes internally and therefore kicks the list off with a bang. Even in our most challenging years, there's always something fresh and new around the corner waiting to be discovered. Like always, this isn't an exhaustive list and plenty of the hidden gems slip through the cracks, so if you have anything to add to the list tack it on at the end so the entire community can find something new to enjoy. Without further ado, here are some great J-Rock albums of 2018. DIMLIM -- CHEDOARA @The Reverend @emmny @helcchi Sigh - Heir to Despair @The Reverend @helcchi Dir en grey - The Insulated World @emmny emmurée - lightless @The Reverend キズ - 「傷痕」 @platy Mass of the Fermenting Dregs - No New World @The Reverend @Zeus 陰陽座 (Onmyo-Za) - 覇道明王 (Hadou Myouou) @Zeus The GazettE - NINTH @Zeus グリモア - プシュコマキア @platy DADAROMA - dadaism#4 @helcchi @platy lynch. - XIII @YuyoDrift Thanks for reading!

How do you even PRONOUNCE that? XD

Got my ticket for Toronto. Pretty excited, they always put on a good show.

Sorry for the late reply! Here we go

Just got my bday present 3 months early, anyone else going? Might spring for VIP next month.

The band have just announced that a new guitarist called 星樹(Seiju) will join the band on 2019.02.20.

good luck on their future endeavors, hope there is tons of music to plagiarize ahead of them x

^ their first single has been finalized as "ILLUMINATE" they will also release a live-limited single "Sky high" at their live on March 14 [tracklist] 1.Sky high 2.CALLING DVD: 1.Believer (PV) (isn't this the same tracklist as CALLING? weird) the PV for "CALLING" has also been available since November 1 for 500 yen, and also includes a QR code for viewing "BELIEVER" PV

Just to make it clear, the single will be released at their live on 2019.03.06. So it's a live/mail-order limited release.

Psst. How did this rumour start anyway? Is there anything that indicates that they're dating or did they just smile at each once like friendly human beings often do?

I noticed a shift between Phoenix Rising and Pantheon, but by that time Anzi was gone. It seems he had disagreements in terms of music direction and other things with the other members for a while and it had showed for a while. The songwritin, iirc, had been mostly divided between Sono, Ayame and Anzi, with the latter gone I can only assume they took the approach they had been trying for a while. It seens JaY has already started to collaborate, he used to play in Lightbringer before, so there's that🤔 Pantheon 1 and 2 were conceptual releases. Let's see if the new album follows that trend or goes in another direction.

I felt exactly the same way.... Savage... Marblehead and now Damy.... the only ones I love and didn't announce disbandment (yet) are Dadaroma, Mamireta... idk what's going on with Scapegoat...

Kill me now, please. Before all my of my stan bands disband, kill me now, dammit. //Archemi and DIMLIM, I fucking swear-- //clings like a mthrfkr//

sigh :( the last album was pretty awful tho, they ran out of ideas. That said...early DAMY will be remembered for their LEGENDARY BOPS.

You guys forgot about: .EXE | that's like really one of the hardest things to search for. Yes, and they were a really good band.

Meto is gay? So all those tanuki sex threads about him are false? I felt lied to...(not really). Well I had a dream where Mejibray got back together. I still like 8P-SB, sue me, they can do both.

Do not make furry kei a thing

They wrote their website incorrectly. The ending is not marcad but marcadol, like their band name. It will work, I checked it.

All the recent live footage that’s on the internet is fucking awesome. Anyway, Adoratio is imo the best vk album of 2015-2019 so far so it’ll be golden in any shape or form

The album "TABOO" was released in 1989, exactly 30 years ago today (18th January)! One of the most excellent old-school J-rock albums imo with many great highlights such as ICONOCLASM, ANGELIC CONVERSATION or JUST ONE MORE KISS. My favorites are TOKYO and FEAST OF DEMORALIZATION tho (the latter being one of only two songs whose lyrics Toll wrote in B-T history!). What are your faves from the album?

The single letter ones are bad no matter if it's a band name or a member's stage name. There's way too many K's out there.

I think Gosan is actually THE example of what someone on MH called a derivation of the "host scene", like some kind of urban night entertainment. It described perfectly what I felt after watching some Gosan's live clips: I've got the impression of a watching a bunch of cool guys throwing out a party for bangya at a night club, I mean, for people with "geeky tastes" like anime, brutal metal riffs and suicidal lyrics... but still a night club vibe. Thus said, I don't think I can still consider this "visual kei" any longer... It's actually another kind of stuff...

This looks cool 'n' all, but I hope we'll get a more substantial release with new music from them this year too (as opposed to these '1 new track' or '1 new demo track' joints). In any case, they seem to put on a sweet live show so it's not too bad that they milk it so much, lol. Gotta collect dat money for studio recordings somehow I guess.

I know it's short for "negative", but Nega is really awkward to mention to someone if you speak portuguese. It's a corruption of "negra" which is feminine for "black" so it has some unintentionally racist undertones (it can be used as an endearing term though, there's even a famous song named after it).

I can see some double-chin kei

Oh my, looking forward for his song with Fuki

I can understand questions regarding the appeal of this band, because to be honest they really didn't appeal to me much until around Toxic. By the time of Beautiful Deformity I came to see that they're actually a decent band with some good ideas and a desire to keep pushing their music in new directions. I'm still not on board with everything they do (the really early stuff is so sloppy and limited compared to their later material, while Dogma didn't grab me a great deal), but now I consider them one of my favourites. Really enjoyed Ninth. Having said that, I'll shed no tears if they announce that the drummer isn't going to be writing any more songs... But that's just me ;)

I thought that account was dead! that pic of Chamu naked was pure gold 😂😂😂😂 there are so many pics of kazhi and tenshi. it´s sad I couldn't understand a word... if someone is bored, I noticed I save the link of "If you erect during live" thread.

YEEEEESSSSS. Everyone can see how garbage/all over the place my taste in music for the year is. For Decameron, Aura, and Dream, the generator used one of the many other artists that share those band names. So I crappily photoshopped the proper band that I listen to of those names. Also, I guess I haven't corrected my tags because S/mileage appears twice on the list. XD

a bit surprised to see irokui. on there. i got nostalgic for them for a bit but didn't know i had that many plays. i think you should all know that an album cover of a hairy armpit exists (great post-rock album btw)

https://youtu.be/13QOvgjIJtQ I'm not trying to be rude or anything like that but she kind of looks like a guy. But do you guys know her name cause her back flips are great?

Please, show me a picture of Yukari ex Baiser! He must be somewhere on this planet.
