Nothing more perfect than Heipou no Gyakushou of Death ☆ Rabbits

if you were ever a fan of the band, the new Killie is a must buy. decent sounding re-recordings, the densest release yet. instantly enjoyable if you've listened to their other recordings.

a perfect summary of their work, only shame is that it wasn't released a decade earlier when it could have caused some more waves....

not quite as cohesive in a conceptual way as some of their other releases, but serves the purpose of a great album, in the more traditional sense.

This has probably been asked, but can anyone name VK bands that got better towards the end of their career? (Not counting bands that were only active for like 2 years)

I'm trying to honestly assess if I have an everlasting nostalgia hard-on, or if bands just tend to lose that youthful passion they needed to once prove themselves once they've already made it. With literally every longer-lasting VK band I like, I favor their earlier/first releases (Versailles, Vidoll, Matenrou Opera, Mucc, Nightmare, Kagrra,, 12012, Ayabie, Miyavi, blah blah).

I feel like the GazettE might get mentioned, and I fucked with them for the most part until DIM, but as I get older I find myself caring less about their high-budget modern metal sound (which they continue to pursue, arguably quite well?) in favor of many of their early recordings that may have been slightly rough around the edges in some way, but oozed with passion and desperation. This all despite the fact I discovered GazettE around the stacked rubbish area and didn't care for much before it until many years after.

Thoughts????? DO bands ever get good™ again??

Metalheads can be cute too.

Killie album pre-orders started shipping

going to new york for the first time tomorrow holy shit

I feel so bad today ...

What the fuck is FED's A day to remember? shit is fucking HORRIBLE

New FED album sounds cool.. Shame the second-rate mix and triggered drums sound NOT-COOL

cmon guys ur killin me. why must the best years of leda's guitar playing be packaged in this subpar wrapping

Me listening to "Kimi ni sachi are" by MUCC and feeling the part were Tatsuro says something about chewing rotten sand and calling the person a bitch as if I actually had someone in my life like that XD.

I'm so lazy today oh my god. Like I just made a sandwich and I'm tired ugh.  I also love complaining while I do stuff. 

Does anyone know any examples of "Professional" Musicians getting involved in VisualKei? All I can think of is percussionist Cato Isao and Music Professor/Session drummer Tetsuro, both of which played in bands with the same members, JyuLie and GossiP. As well as the entire lineup of CrowXClass. 

And I don't mean involved as in doing one song, but like actually being an integral part of the band

next trade-off theme has been finalized! i think you guys are gonna like this one

It's funny how we change fav music genres from time to time. 3 years ago, I was totally into Kpop. Then, came back to VK, then, Prog Metal and now I'm back into VK. Does this happens with you too? You know you like the band, but you listen to it and you don't feel like "IT'S AWESOME, HOLY SH"?

smh @ myself for not listening to Susanne's newest album by the time it came out last year and missing this absolute gem

I'm eager to make a new mixtape thread but idk...

Koichi deleted everything on Instagram. Wtf?

ugh i need a 256GB phone for all my music :'(

Does anyone else ever feel like just quitting the internet? You know, just... closing all those tabs and then deleting the whole browser and crashing your computer by trying to delete explorer as well and eventually enjoying the thought that now you can't even use your computer because you fucking deleted explorer? 

Wondering, is Chariots' drummer (Mikage) the same guy who was HIZAKI grace project's drummer?

Can someone tell me why people can't wait the realease coming 

He have to download bad quality 

This is...  joke... come on guys wait for original music... 

You Understand

Composition-wise, what's the best GazettE song, in your opinion? I'd say 'DOGMA'. Freaking BRILLIANT, and I don't think they'll ever do another one as good as.

This bodybuilder guy revealed he was a vk bandman on tv (I think he was from アンド (AND))

Come help choose the next tradeoff theme, guys!

Is there a place we can check vk sound producers, or maybe the writing credits on a song?
