Cool, last mini album rocked so I am looking forward to this.
Btw, none of these titles are more edgy, foreign, or just plain stupid than releases by X Japan, Buck Tick, or Hide, for example.
It was always a part of heavy rock music, and IMO is cooler than song titles with 20 obscure kanji, or some 'poetic' sentence about a flower.
A title is just a way to get attention, and it is working for BORN and Sadie, despite them being the bands that it is cool to hate.

LOL, Really? This isn't really that weird of a title... doesn't seem out of place for BORN, very different from Sadie's current situation (Which is TOTALLY ridiculous lol..)
 
 
Anyway, I still enjoyed The Stalin and this is me saying it out loud!
Looking forward to this!

AHahahahah I prefer this than GANGSTA!

That's probably what their manager at PSC said when he or she saw their sales on their last trainwreck.

This so much! 

I don't even listen to D.I.D. but this is the best news all week for me.

D.I.D. Vo.茜(akane) has been discharged from hospital and has been taking rest at home

Artist: ALSDEAD Album: STARLESS Score: Is this a fluke or does ALSDEAD finally have some spark?
Despite my absence on most visual kei threads on the forums concerning new bands, I do follow some bands and check out new releases from time to time. The only time I find myself compelled to make a review is when:

something exceeds my expectations of a band is incredibly bad and deserves no hype when the hype is mellow, the release deserves a review and doesn't have one
ALSDEAD is a band that's by and far ignored on Monochrome Heaven - after having an explosive opening with their first two singles their flop of a self-titled relegated them to the trash bin for many, and their subpar output since 2009 hasn't helped them any. They've found a cult following in people that crave the sound they produce, but for those outside that small group this band has offered very little worth listening to. Even though Separator (barely) made our best-of list last year, anyone that follows my reviews knows I roasted that album over an open spit for being so dull it left me with very little to say about it. I had a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the band that crafted Violent of Reason and F-99 could release so many boring songs, so I find myself downloading a release from them now and again to see if they've become interesting once more.

I thought I would never say this, but ALSDEAD have released something I find genuinely interesting. For a couple of plays at least.

I can't pinpoint exactly why I like STARLESS so much. Both tracks are solid and I can always appreciate the balance between an aggressive track and a more laid-back rock track. Both songs are exactly as long as they need to be, feature tasteful use of studio pyrotechnics, and clean production. Picture is also outside of ALSDEAD's comfort zone, and they nail it well. I'm sure they've done tracks like this before, but as a person that doesn't follow ALSDEAD like that this was a welcome surprise. If I wanted to nitpick, I could mention that STARLESS' solo is a little on the simple side, but that's a small blip.

This is the first release I've heard by ALSDEAD with Nikky from GALEYD, so I attribute a lot of the positive things I said here to him. I don't know if Maki is still the main composer after all, but bands that tend to only have one composer get stale quick, which was my problem with this band for the longest. If Meku's stranglehold over most of GALEYD's output caused other members of the band to have to put their creativity on pause and this is the first time that Nikky's been able to express himself, GALEYD's disbandment might be the single greatest thing that's ever happened to this band. Well, aside from their ex-drummer adopting a name better than Peanuts Benjamin and the band playing at that lolicon in the middle of New Mexico.

For once, I have nothing negative to say. The single does it job well, which is to raise hype for an upcoming album. If the material on the album is as consistent as the small teaser we have now, I might have something nice to say about the album at the end of the year.

Not too comfortable on sharing pictures, but here we go. This is from Jupiter's Euro tour. 

You guys are brothers, stop fooling everyone XD. Even the white shirt is similar hahaha

OT: I don't have any input into this discussion but I do have to say this is one of the most intelligent and well-debated conversations I've seen on MH in a long time without any chaotic slandering towards one another.

Can't wait to pirate this

not all men

I guess nobody . . . saw it coming.
 
I'm terrible, sorry.

No problems with it whatsoever. Damn homphobics keep making up reasons why two persons of the same gender can't marry. Pretty much what CAT5 said.

Let ppl marry. Who gives a shit.

Edit: Message deleted

Lmfao this. It's not like people get hurt when two gay people marry. "BUT HOW DO I EXPLAIN THIS TO MY CHILDREN", really simple, the way my mother did it: sometimes people don't like people from the other gender but from the same gender. That's it. THAT'S REALLY IT. People talk about it like it's some difficult math formula but it really isn't.
 
Also people who claim it ruins "the sanctity of marriage" bc marriage should be between a man and a woman is a load of shit because 1) Britney Spears got married once for 7 hours while drunk and that's not ruining the sanctity of marriage while a gay couple who has been together for 10 years that wants to get married does? 2) These people always yell that the bible forbids it but hey the bible also forbids you to do a lot of other things but they don't seem to care about those lol.
 
In short: being homophobic isn't freedom of speech, it's being a douche and highly illegal.

陰陽座(Onmyo-za) 2 new albums (titles not yet finalized) will be released at 2014/09/24 (3,100yen each)

The last 2 singles pale in comparison to Separator, hope they can make more creative songs for the new album.

I decided I could post a few old lolita pics of me. These are from 2009-2011.
 
October 2009 when I just got a new jacket!!
 
 
Tsukicon 2009 @ Helsinki, Finland.
 
Blingbling swag lolita in July 2010, probably the hottest day of the summer (~30C) and I just had to wear lolita... You can't imagine how hot I felt with all those motherfucking extensions and gazillion layers of clothing.
 
 
This is a pretty casual coordination from May 2011 and it's the last time I ever wore lolita ;__;
 

Im kind of back.
Not sure how entirely active I'll be since Im working and trying really hard not to get fired.
But I missed some of your faces and wanted to come back and chat

The best new that there could be. Glad to know that Hizumi's throat condition is getting better.

NIGHTMARE will release their new maxi single titled "TABOO" on June 25th! It will be used as a theme song for the new movie "『奴隷区　僕と23人の奴隷』 (Dorei-ku  Boku to 23nin no dorei)"!
