SHOKI

Previews for the other songs on the EP are up! 
 
 

@SHOKIThanks a lot, glad you liked it! And thanks so much for following us! I don't really compose often myself, but from my experience with the time and dedication you will eventually be able to come up with something good. I think that especially trying to analyse how other bands structure their songs helps a lot to come up with your own music. Hope to see your originals here some day too!
 
 
 
 

Definitely interested. for a "small indie project" made in the "guitarist's apartment" it sounds really professional and polished. You are all very talented without any doubt. You have a new follower on Spotify. I recently started making attempts at composing my own music, I wish someday I can release something that sounds at least half as good as your work does.

The lyric video for our first single is out! You can download the song for free on Bandcamp if you are interested
Definitely the most Metalcore inspired song on the EP, we took a somewhat different direction for the rest.
 

Maybe some of you remember my band's demos from a few years back - we finally managed to finish our first EP and plan to release it digitally for free and physically on the 10th of November! The music is a mix between quite a few styles ranging from Power Metal to Metalcore and of course VK inspired tropes. It's all self produced in our guitarist's apartment, so this is only a small indie project  Here's a teaser with a short song preview at the end! Please let me know what you think!
 

Mi-ya is now a permanent member and they have released a new MV, and damn if it doesn't kick ass.
 
 

Well after a year of silence the girls are making up for lost time. A four-song EP creatively called "The Lovebites EP" drops on August 31. Video preview here:
 
 
Then October 25 comes their full length debut album, "Awakening From Abyss." Ok less than perfect grammar there. The cover art is cool. It was done by the same artist who did Helloween's albums.
 

 
The album will be mixed and mastered by the same team that worked on the band’s debut EP, Mikko Karmila and Mika Jussila from Finnvox Studios.
The band’s first single from the album, “Shadowmaker”, will be available online September 22nd.
 
The best news is the band is signed to Sliptrick Records for US and Europe release even though they are signed to Victor in Japan. So none of this bullshit where Victor basically give non-Japanese fans the finger (although MB is now with Sliptrick). The EP is already on iTunes for pre-order and you got the video above, which is more than I can say for recent releases by Mary's Blood and Gacharic Spin. And someone from Sliptrick is a regular poster over on the Japanese Metal Forum.  So this band has a much more western-friendly representation. And in an interview, the girls said they want to play the US and the big Wacken show in Germany, the first time I've heard a Japanese band express a desire to play that show.
 
And uh, holy shit these girls are gorgeous.
 

 
 

Kamijo's  wteet: In the recording of "PANTHEON -PART2" the new Matenrou Opera album that goes on sale on November 15 in celebration of the 10th. anniversary, I participated in the choirs of "覇道 の 火 よ" (Hadou no hi yo)! The day I returned from South America I went straight from Narita to the studio, there was a triple voice!

It will be released on 2017.11.15.

Secretly hoping Hizaki gets Juka off of fishing and back to singing dope epics again

jupiter feat. guest vocalist kamijo would be taking this band onto the next level of ridiculous
 
anyway, very very curious how this is gonna turn out since they aren't announcing an immediate disband as of now, and his other project seems like a complete travesty

full  

are they trying to get green cards or something
 
i hope they cover this
 
 

For now old ギルティア-Guiltia- sounded better...

if they're selling those ratty robes for 1k then versailles costumes must be worth their weight in gold
