SADIE, since COLD BLOOD has been on a nonstop trail of hit or miss. Its either their music is too blatantly Dir en grey influenced or lifeless and repetitive. I was one of the many few who enjoyed GANGSTA for what it was  because it was a release that i felt strayed away from those cancerous attributes. With the announcement of their hiatus, they've dropped VOYAGE. I went in skeptical because often time when SADIE releases something that I deem listenable, they follow up with something terrible....This was NOT The case here. Lemme break it down.
 
Voyage: Starts off with an intro that gives off a farewell vibe and throughout the entirety of the song, this vibe is present even when there's the breakdown that meshes extremely well and does not take away from the feel. Mao's vocals for some reason is just amazing. I'll even dare to say this is the best he's sounded. Same can be said for the other members as well, especially Tsurugi and Mizuki who's guitar work shines. They clearly pulled no punches. AND GOT DAMN, My nigga....THAT SOLO. Anyways....The way the track fades out with Mao singing "la la la la" is so fitting....like, i wouldn't be surprised if they ended their final show with this song and the fans sang along while bawling their eyes out. Simply amazing.
 
10/10
 
Call of Pain: When this started, i thought it would be another filler B-side song along the lines of Setugekka but boy was i wrong. If anything this is a better, more thought out and creative version of those songs. To me It carries on the same Farewell vibe as Voyage but just in a different format but its still well done. I tend to often ignore SADIE b-sides but this is one where I will actually go back and listen to. Well done! 8.10
 
End Of The World: DAWG, THIS JUST HITS YOU IN THE FACE with that RAW SADIE goodness. Its heavy but it also does a great job at making you feel like the the title of the song. I could picture this playing as a soundtrack to some apocalypse type move. ALSO that breakdown......I have no words. Just my favorite reaction:  I really can't say much more about this track. Its just killer. EASILY My favorite song out of the whole release. They saved the best for last, which is brilliant.
 
20/10
 
Overall, SADIE's VOYAGE is one of the best send offs before a hiatus, i've ever heard. From start to finish this single oozes of pure, fresh originality and is hella rockin. THIS is the SADIE that i missed since COLD BLOOD. For anyone who bad talked the band, VOYAGE is them making a statement with their middle fingers raised high. I wish them the absolute best and hope they come back stronger with a clear direction for their music (for once). Best release of 2015 so far. I can already tell I'm gonna be listening to this more than my other current fav releases this year. 

Tracklist :
01. good bye...GODDESS
02. Beautiful
03. Beelzebub(SE) [A TYPE]
03. GOD BLESS YOU piano ver.

シン(shin)(ex-ViViD) solo project "WHITE JUDAS" will perform at event "V-NATION" at Kokuritsu Yoyogi Kyougijou Dainitaiikukan at 2015/08/05

3-month consecutive EP "Trilogy e.p. Asterism" will be released as folow :
 
有終の美 (Yuushuu no Bi) 2015.06.19 Heat Haze 2015.07.19 Saints Ideal 2015.08.19  

According to the description on the official site, it'll be a classic Merry retro song with a catchy melody, but the lyrics are about the sense of well-being in present day Japan. That's a nice change, since the last album was all about what's wrong in Japanese society. Can't wait!

DuelJewel new mini-album "Duel" will be released at 2015/07/22 (2 TYPES)
Limited edition (2484 yens) will include CD (4 songs) and DVD (Red Rose PV+MAKING), and Regular edition (2160 yens) will include CD (5 songs only).
 
Tracklist :
 
1 Red Rose  2 デッドマンズ・ホープ (Deadman's Hope)　　  3　鬼哭啾々 (Kikokushuushuu) 4　Locus　　　 5　BUZZ [regular edition only]

D'EspairsRay, 9Goats Black Out, Rentrer en Soi, Pierrot, Megaromania, Luzmelt, XTripX, Deluhi, -OZ-, Awoi, Galeyd, Lolita23q, ViViD, Zoro, Nega, Phantasmagoria and others...
I'd put bands like Malice Mizer, Janne da Arc, Lix and many others, because the hiatus means disbandment in such cases...

deadman - there's nothing i can say to properly explain how brilliant they were. their disbandment was a massive loss to the scene and i still feel the hole today, but at least aie is active in some amazing bands. and i wont speak on my bias for mako because it'll be a long rant long story short he needs to come back (again), his guest appearance at the hollowgram live wont suffice!!!
 
RENTRER EN SOI - the band wrote their best material towards the end of their career, so considering they disbanded at what i consider to be their peak is a massive slap to the face
 
D'espairsRay - i love despa, never really liked monsters all that much but i still have room for their music in my heart regardless of the direction they would have taken (but if they were to continue making music i dont think it would have ended up very well so im a lil conflicted)
 
9GOATS BLACK OUT - ryo's hollowgram is a big bag of shit, uta's work in sukekiyo doesnt touch 9GBO and hati is too good of a bassist to be inactive so theres no choice but to reunite for the greater good of visual kei and mankind
 
amber gris - IDGAF IF ITS BARELY BEEN A WEEK THEY NEED TO RETURN
 
(not a band but whatever) i wanna see yuina (ex. blast, lamiel) to return to VK
 
sugar - they were consistent throughout their career and the interplay between the members was really electric, also their dark nagoya goth sound meets jazz is something that hasn't been replicated
 
merry go round - yeah the members are old men rn and hideno is probably nowhere to be found but the pairing of hideno+kazuma made for bizarre and very interesting tunes so i'd like to see them come back because VK needs that kind of energy rn
 
cocklobin - phenomenal+consistent, they had quite a few styles in their arsenal and all were executed so well, plus it was iori at his best which is clearly lacking from femme fatale LOL. im also kind of partial to nigu's vocals even if he sounds like a walking caricature of aki's voice

Kagrra, Kagrra, Kagrra and Rentrer en Soi.

D'espairs Ray is my favourite band ever... I fell off listening to JRock after they disbanded because I'm emotional like that and I still have a hard time listening to them just because it gives me so much feels... (and I don't like feelings. urgh.)
 
And perhaps Due'le quartz.

I miss Raphael too.

I Royz erano carini nelle prime uscite con Starry Heaven ed altri mini album. Personalmente li ascoltavo e mi piacevano ma mi sono fermata all'album Tears. Già con Tears Drop, che è una vera lagna, hanno perso molto, dopo Lilia poi li ho abbandonati del tutto e non ho neanche la minima idea di come stanno procedendo al momento.
I golden Bomber personalmente non mi hanno mai attirato, ascolto solo qualche canzone a random di tanto in tanto. Li trovo simpatici però, forse valgono più sotto un'aspetto scenico che musicale a mio parere.
Mi fa piacere sapere che non sono l'unica a notare il recente fiasco del visual kei in genere che mi ha permesso di allontanarmi dal genere. Molti di gruppi si sono rovinati nel tempo, con mio grande dispiacere, come An Cafe, DIV, persino I BORN che tanto mi piacevano e molti altri.
Sulle nuove band non mi posso esprimere più di tanto perchè non sto seguendpo il visual kei, son rimasta ai tempi dei Meteoroid, Echtelion (che poi hanno persino assunto Sebastiano Serafini, lol), Codomo Dragon ecc.
Il nuovo singolo dei Diaura...dovrei provarlo, li adoravo ma Focus mi ha lasciato così tanto amaro in bocca che li avevo dimenticati, sino ad'ora.
 
Ah già, scusate l'intrusione...

D'EspairsRay, 9Goats Black Out, Rentrer en Soi, Pierrot, Megaromania, Luzmelt, XTripX, Deluhi, -OZ-, Awoi, Galeyd, Lolita23q, ViViD, Zoro, Nega, Phantasmagoria and others...

It's greyed out for me. :/
