why do they keep overcompressing and putting that disgusting distortion filter on kyo's harsh vocals now? That high scream sounded like a strangled chicken, just keep it with the slight reverb like in DSS, jeez Song was good tho, definitely better than the D'erlanger cover

The band’s very talented musicians and the girls are powerful performers. The singers are very young hard working ladies who could be your own daughters, how could you not think they are doing a great job? That’s almost like a trick question, I feel." a surprisingly wholesome answer from kyo

Did anyone notice at the NY show last night that Kyo tried to have us sing the last part of the chorus in Rubbish Heap and no one could do it? He slumped his shoulders and tossed the mic without finishing the song lmao as sad as that sounds I find some sort of humor in it lol Never seen a man so disappointed

70 for hoodie? that's reaching sukekiyo levels of price

I second this

have mercy on my ears

apparently kyo played bass at last night's live for the Infinitum tour

Sukekiyo needs to stick with what tracks 10 and 12 sound like. Track 13 is good because it's something they haven't done before but yeah I knew this wasn't gonna top Adoratio but it's still got some standouts on an unrelated note mimizozo is so slept on for being one of sukekiyo's best, make another pls

im thirsty

hmmm

Tada, Mada Watashi is absolutely beautiful. Chorus reminds me a bit of the one from Kugui in IMMORTALIS

I love their heavy stuff but also give me an album that sounds like Kaishun pls ty

was there a band named Buk Buk or did I hallucinate that

their concert tickets are like 6,000 yen usually plus fees but when i went one of their merch shirts was like 8,000 yen i was like nope adoratio also ran me for about 8,000+ yen

i'm ready dawg

baroque nowadays wishes they sounded like kannivalism lul Helios was pretty damn good

https://electricballroom.co.uk/dir-en-grey-statement/?fbclid=IwAR0V66bi8_vuy0jDYmd5ZjpaGQ3KnOPUAHuJgrGs98T-zGlo4WMIInnsql8 basically they were just like we've been a venue for 80 years, it's the band's fault lol sorry

I agree, which is why I'm still waiting on someone to tear it apart

still waiting for someone to speak ill on the Garden PV i remember reading in an interview a long time ago they were so poor they strapped the camera to bamboo sticks to film the moving aerial shots lmao

I've seen em twice in the states too lol and literally the only thing they had over the EU setlist rn is Vinushka when I saw them, both times I'd rather take the EU one over the times I saw them in NY and Philly though lol

lookin like an NA setlist lol

I've realized this years ago and im glad you feel the same lol. now i know im not crazy

THE DEEPER VILENESS fucking destroyed me as I expected just wish they turned up his growls during the i dont even think of you as my friend part, they coulda been monstrous but felt a little underwhelming to me

wouldnt be surprised, the members themselves said this was the most rushed they've ever been to meet a deadline, so odds are production was rushed too and overlooked minute details

gets me everytime
