I'm also dyslexic (funny that it's such an awkward word to spell itself xD). My handwriting is really embarrassing, but I guess it can be quite humorous that it can pass as a doctor's typical writing, aha. It's improved over the years since I used to study hard in my English classes as a child, so it's not too obvious I'm dyslexic unless you see my handwriting.

Depression runs in the family. 
 
Anxiety was a big problem growing up due to mainly being in a family of people with intense anger management issues but through the years, thanks to friends and some counseling I've become better and still working to at it.  I've became more social and self confident too, versus the younger me that was pretty anti-social and full of doubts.

Rating: | Demetori proves that once again, quality trumps quantity.
 
One of the only arrange bands that I still actively follow, Demetori has seen success by focusing on quality over quantity. This is saying a lot about their contemporaries more so than their particular habits. Most normal bands take a year or two break between albums but it is not uncommon to see a doujin artist release four albums in one year or to find musicians starting solo projects once they exhaust the hundreds of video game jingles associated with Project Shrine Maiden (or touhou if you will). Most of these acts disappear into obscurity faster than you can say "animated jailbait", but despite first impressions the duo have stuck to their guns with making strictly cover music since 2005. Considering how easy it is to fall off in this scene, I find their dedication and consistency incredibly impressive.

Best described as Meshuggah meets power metal, 愧人贖悪 ~Evil People as the True Object of Salvation~ is their tenth and newest album, with most themes lifted from either the seventh or fourteenth Touhou video game. It's the most interesting album since 曼衍珠汝華～ Nada Upasana Pundarika, restoring a sense of confidence in the band that was missing from their last two albums. It's still the same style of metal since 2007's Il Mondo dove e finito il Tempo, but with a sense of energy and excitement I haven't heard in quite some time. 徳南 (Tokunan) is still a beast with the guitar, so much so that I feel comfortable pinning him somewhere between FAR EAST DIZAIN's LEDA and Galneryus' Syu. His brother 九宝時 (Kyuhouji), keeps his crown as the best drummer in the scene and delivers an equally as gripping performance with the percussion. Few ideas were lifted from earlier arrangements with no modifications and the ones that were are expertly done. The mid-album ballad "無何有の郷 ～ Grief of Ressentiment" is a good example of this; it sounds like it came straight from 2006's 如臨深遠 ～雨縒煙柳～. The wealth of new ideas and the appearance of some uncommon melodies extends the life of this album by a good amount.

The paradoxical thing about doujin music is that what gives it its charm also holds it back. It will rarely be seen as anything more than "epic rock video game music", and despite the technical proficiency of the Teramae brothers 愧人贖悪 ~Evil People as the True Object of Salvation~ is no exception. Demetori's answer to this problem is to add more of their own ideas to the melodies that they cover, complementing the original melodies to create something that feels familiar but still fresh. It's very much an instrumental shred fest - it always has and it always will be - but sometimes the video game melodies don't make for the best rock or metal melodies. It can be tricky to bring them together without sounding contrived. For the most part they were successful with adapting the melodies to fit the metal motif, but there are still those awkward thematic or mood transitions here and there that make you roll your eyes. However, it's nothing that gets in the way of enjoying the album to the fullest.

The perfect album for those into insane guitar solos, instrumental hard rock, doujin arranges, or just something to pump you up in general!


Support the band! 愧人贖悪 ~Evil People as the True Object of Salvation~

received yesterday but had time to open today coz of work

ADAPTER。
I wanted はじめの一歩 and bought the two CDs it's on lol
 
I also ordered two GNz-WORD CDs--Switching Win Black and GEAR SECOND--and they should get here tomorrow＼(^o^)／

Simple and Clean is the way that I'm feeling.

Here my desktop. Plain and dull. haha
 

That was actually pretty good. I like the Deus Ex Machina vibe it has even if it isn't as good. I am ver unsure about Yomi's volcals on this one. Like, very confused. We've heared hints of this in Nightmare for a while and it did not blend in very well... now that it seems it does it sounds very different. There are parts I like and others that surprised me. 
 
Anyway seems like this single can be pretty OK imo.

I joke but Starwave Records isn't too bad.

Wow I'm actually really excited for this even though their single was only okay to me. The look and cover are flawless and the track list looks decently unique.
