reminiscing2004

I don't like the GazettE's Dogma and Ninth. Well to be honest, anything released after Toxic. 

People on facebook told me that's because I don't like ''Dark heavy music''. Hmmm. I laughed at that.

you did the right thing

i ran away from home on my birthday once cuz i got scolded by my mom for watching lynch dvd lol

I don't give a shit about X Japan. I've never listened to them and I have no desire to start.

.

I've never actually listened to Alice 9 and have no desire to start

i may or may not have deleted half my facebook friend list in a frenzy of mania

I swear Norwich is the most boring fucking city in the world.

You guys really gonna exclusively stan "Inhale"? I'm also in the camp who never enjoyed FED as much as I hoped I could, but the track is 50% boring djent fuckery. I admit it has an amazing solo, but that's the case for almost every Leda track. I'd pick something like "Beyond These Walls" over "Inhale" any day-- and "Beyond These Walls" still has semi-cringe verse vocals..
 
@TheStoic brings up an excellent point about the recording sound/mixes, but unfortunately, I think that is a problem with Visual Kei across the board in 2019. The sound a lot of us may be yearning for when we think of DELUHI is partially intertwined with 2000's production techniques, that have been left in the 2000's. Oh, real-sounding drums, where art thou?
 
Leda was suuuuuch a monster musician a decade ago, between Crimson Head, Galneryus, and DELUHI-- let alone how much he's progressed since. I'm just hoping in the next chapter he gives all that talent the setting it deserves. Better vocalist, better sounding recordings, and less trying to be like Animals as Leaders when you have the melodic charisma that Animals as Leaders doesn't.

I could hardly say Leda’s the villain here, he’s just socially inept and has way too much on his plate than he could handle. Aggy felt a need to explain his side of the story, but there were no ill intentions in his message. Leda cried the Friday before and it was Aggy’s turn to cry that night. Sure they’ve got regrets, but what’s done is done. They’re adults now, all the shit that happened between them is in the past now and they’ve moved beyond that. You should’ve seen Leda bouncing up and down all excitedly in front of Aggy on stage. So frickin adorable.
 
As for FED, for once I buy this musical differences excuse. The members signed up for Deluhi 2.0, and what they got was Leda’s musical cognitive dissonance. In 4 years, they haven’t even reached a fraction of the height that Deluhi reached in half the time, not to mention that DLH were able to sell out two 2K+ capacity venues almost a decade after disbandment, while FED will probably be wiped from the collective memory in a few years time.
I do feel sorry for Keita, ryu and sujk relying on Leda to free up his schedule when Leda should really be prioritizing his own band. But I guess playing at small venues don’t pay the bills, and playing for big artists takes all your time away; both from your band and from your creativity. I wouldn’t even know what I’d do on that situation.
His mistake was treating FED like Takayoshi Ohmura and C4 but the difference is that Keita and Ryu are still kids that have a whole future ahead of them. They’re both really talented, so I wish the best in their future endeavors.
 
And let’s just hope Leda comes back with a better sounding name for a band next time.
 
</rant>

Congrats to him~! I hope he and his family are well
 
ETA: I greatly respect that he's choosing not to go into too much detail about his family life. I hate it when people overshare their children's lives over social media, so props to him for that.

ZZZoo is a super-group comprising of members from indie bands such as Z.O.A., Zeni geva, dip, Redrum, and Bacteria.
Their first album was just released on bandcamp after having been only available with a download code when buying a t-shirt at their concert.
https://thezzzoo.bandcamp.com/




This is definitely an album for fans of space-and-krautrock circa the 60s and 70s.
Here are the liner notes from the bandcamp page:

HUMAN ZZZoo
人間動物園（にんげんどうぶつえん、「民族学的展示」「人間の展示」とも）とは、19世紀から20世紀にかけて行われた、社会進化論や人種差別、進化主義、植民地主義に根ざした、野蛮・未開とされた人間の文化・生態展示のことである。。みたいなw wikiより

HUMAN ZZZoo
Human zoos, also called ethnological expositions, were 19th-, 20th-, and 21st-century public exhibitions of humans, usually in a so-called natural or primitive state.
It became of theme for this album...maybe lol

I prefer wording these news as "Far East Dizain are re-embarking on a journey to discover new opportunities for the band members to return under an not embarrassing band name" x

Honestly, I thought they disbanded ages ago...

Their mixes always had the electronics and vocals so loud in the mix, that the guitar and rhythm sections - which were the best aspect of their sound - drowned out.  Their recordings really took away from their potential.  While I love the talent Leda has, and with Sujk behind the kit and Keita holding his own - they should have executed better - but they never seemed to compose a record that really took off.
 
At this point, I just want Leda to keep making heavy music with solid heavy vocals.  I hope that he ends up back in a band with a heavier theme.

So when is Leda gonna stop fucking around and reform DELUHI? Aside from his BABYMETAL gigs, it's his most successful project to date. He has no problem dabbling in anniversary releases of DELUHI content if it nabs an extra buck, and he still occasionally works with the ex-members of the band who are also not doing anything as interesting as DELUHI. Juri's solo career? ARKHELISM? LMFAO. No one gives a fuck about any of that.

DELUHI come back and record the debut album you were always meant to.

While plebs argue about which maximum the hormone slipknot rip off album arriving about a good decade too late to be relevant in the rest of the world was the best, real g's listen to
