This album is all over the place and it's quite hard to form a solid opinion of it after one or two listens. I expected something much more generic like a more boring arche but I'm pleasantly surprised that there is some interesting ideas thrown in. Even though the albums inconsistent as heck, there's a high possibility of it growing on me.

One thing that amazes me about this band is how despite being in the scene for 30 years, they still release better/more interesting music then 99% of other Japanese rock bands. There's only a handful of bands in the world who have kept up a streak that long without turning crap. Their last two albums have been really great imo.

I was disappointed at first but even the 'weaker' songs have grown on me. The lead tracks are still the best but the only actual weak songs are monokuruhi and ambitious principles. Everything else is still really strong and it's my favourite vk album of the year so far (jiluka and god and death stars still coming though).

What I don't understand is how small bands like DOF and Dimlim can have much better mastering for their records then one of the biggest bands in the scene.

It's interesting seeing this band mentioned here, because they have had an big understated impact on vk influencing Buck-Tick (Atsushi Sakurai), Kisaki, Luna Sea and the whole darkwave movement in general.

Looking forward to this but I have to wonder why it's from a live recorded 2 years ago?

It seems while vk is strongly discouraged in china because of the government, korea just has an extreme case of bad taste. But it's not just vk, it seems the korean underground is so small it's virtually non existent. Makes me wish TRAX took off back in 2004 or whatever (Paradox and Scorpio were great imo).

Reminds me of the concept for Art of Life.

Does anyone else think the album mix of vanitas sounds a bit flat?

Welcome, I'm from melbourne too and yeah the vk community here is pretty much non-existant, though Deg got a small crowd when I saw them in 2014/2015. When the boom was happening in europe nothing happened here though apparently Blood toured here in the mid 2000s.

Oh yeah I forgot about that demo tape one. Too bad I can't find it anywhere it looks really cool

If only he'd release compilations of matina bands with scattered/hard to get material...

Kuchiki no Tou gets me every time.

Fantastic. If the rest of the album matches the quality of the three songs released so far, this could be top 10 vk albums of the decade. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.
-
Check out Finnish folk band Tenhi. All their albums are fantastic but if you're gonna check them out try Kauan or Maaäet first.
Spoiler -
Their last album was just about my favorite from them. Really hyped for this.

I do think this is their worst album to date but the thing I like about it is that in no way does it sounds like they're simply going through the motions. There's still a lot of inspiration there and some interesting ideas thrown in. It's similar to moab in that regard in that moab sounds like they put 100% effort into it despite simply 'writing a generic metal album'. I think they can still write good music in the future. Production is unredeemable though but the cd sounds better then the iTunes rip (though maybe that's just me).
