  1. Frankly, to me it's a typical deathcore band. I understand why people like it, but praising the band that much like some people do clearly shows that the only thing they care about in such kind of music is whether the band is japanese visual kei or not. There are thousands of bands that are on par with Deviloof when it comes to signing and technical aspect.

     

    Yet, there are always some cool moments in Deviloof's songs that I like.


  2. I gotta give it to Karma. When I first heard the PV, I didn't like the song at all. After listening to the mini several times, I absolutely love it. This is oldschool j-rock made with today's possibilities of recording - clean sounds and such. And their song "Enbu" is an absolute beast to me - I hear so many references there to old-school bands.

    It's time for you guys to recommend the very best of them so people can catch up!

     

     

    Well, Savage technically lasted for 6 years

    with a solo project,using only support members we wouldn't even worry about

    official members leaving the band,so i think it's a nice option. 

    and i bet that he got many finished tracks in the pocket already

     

     

     

    I recognize the guitarist from Balalaika. The guy who is to the left from Mei looks really familiar, too...

    Ba. HISAYOSHI (ex-ClearVeil, now in ORCALADE and Fuel Pumps) decided to become ORCALADE support Ba. and Fuel Pumps official Ba.

    Considering that Orcalade did nothing for the last 1.5 years, I wonder what the point of his decision even is...


  6. All I can say is that I have no regrets that Fixer will disband.
    Prior to Starwave they were good. The last three years - just meh. Completely changed their sound for the worse. Even production got worse (which could be expected knowing Kiwamu).


  7. That can be an interesting discussion, that's for sure.

     

    I would say that even old-school j-rock bands tried to use some screaming - Aliene Marriage for example. If you listen to many obscure bands from 1998-2003, you will find plenty of weak growls (more like shrieks even). From relativily popular bands - early Vidoll, the Gazette.

     

     

    Moving to modern times - once emo-style and metalcore sound was becoming popular, it surely influenced jrock scene. To me, one of the most early examples was -OZ- with their Cry the Crime and Zenith. I believe, it was 2006. In comparison with the bands that I mentioned above, Natsuki used his harsh vocals more often and extensvely. We also have early Deathgaze from 2004, D'espairs Ray, Gemmik, to name a few. And Unsraw with their debut single. Yeah, it seems like 2005-2006 is when screams and growls were becoming the thing.

     

    I hope some senior contributors from MH, like @zeus or other guys who were in jrock community for around 10-15 years would contribute to this discussion)

    Is L not that  popular or what 

    Considering that several onemans of Balalaika weren't sold out even when with one ticket one could bring their friend - I would say he's not popular for bangyas to pay attention to his projects that much.

     

    For me personally - I'm tired of the same tuning and style of his bands. Nothing new.

    The bassist looks like Futaba ... at least with the amount of tattoos on his arms.

     

    Drummer could be Kei, also ex-Balaika, with his short hair.

     

    Nevertheless the guitarist cracks me the most up :D  

    I don't think it's Futaba, because Futaba is left-handed.
