kuyashii

They usually post teasers and PVs after lives so they could possibly post one as soon as the 27th, or perhaps 5/6.

My guess is they'll release these eye candy mvs for each member then we'll get a music teaser by May

I'm going to be the contrarian and say that Sho looks pretty lame comparing to the others but I suppose he's playing the ill boy role so w/e.
 
I'm not going to pledge my undying loyality to them before I listen to the new stuff but I'm pretty hyped myself and if the new song is on the same level than Chedoara we can really wait for something huge.

The prodution is way better and I'm glad they didn't clutter the mix as they did on Jingai. The instrumentals are decent and I dig the atmospheric vibe of some parts but the composition is rather boring and I still think Mio sounds like absolute crap. His harsh vocals kinda sound weaker than on Jingai tbh but that might be the mix.
 
 

I was glad Kyo ditched the emo rapper look but holy shit, wtf was that
 
Waiting for him to sound the worst he ever did. For some reason his vocals on Sukekiyo are always much worse than the ones on DeG (for real, the Immortalis-Arche-Adoratio-TIW run was a total vocal see-saw for him) and now he's smoking again that definitely is going to be even more evident.
 
Couldn't care less for Sukekiyo though

Why is it that when people make baseless accusations about innocent people, everyone believes it and their reputation gets ruined, but when someone is proven to be an absolute cunt with irrefutable evidence against them, money settles all and, eventually, no-one gives a shite? Disgusting, naïve and disrespectful to everyone involved. I just hope the poor kid's alright and that Kisaki is eventually incarcerated.
 
This is why I stay out of shit like this until there is evidence. I believe in innocent until proven guilty on both sides and no amount of bullshit will ever cloud my perception on that. Kisaki can fuck right off if he thinks he can buy his way out of this mess he started.
 
Still, I'm not going to say that this damages all of VK. Yes, what Kisaki did was fucking abhorrent, and it undoubtedly damaged his reputation and, unfortunately, probably those of the people who have worked with him in the past as well, however I said that I believe in innocent until proven guilty on both sides, so I'm not going to let this take away my faith in the genre. Don't get me wrong, my faith in him is down the toilet, but that's him as an individual. Instead of letting his actions define what could and couldn't be possible in the lives of the many, many J-rockers we all know and love, I'm going to just separate him from it all. It's argued by a lot of people here that the art should be separated from the artist, so I'm separating Kisaki from VK. Abusing someone isn't a staple of the genre, it's a crime.
 

That thing about unsubstantiated was sarcasm/irony when it's kind of patently obvious despite differing opinion in specific details when it comes to any individual in question, but I think the general character of the scene is beyond dispute. Not just stuff on the internet that someone google translated and then related to a friends niece's cat, but personal experience of irl acquittances and etc. This scene is super dodgy and the esteem towards its elders is so strong that 'til he is in jail nothing is going to happen aside from the gasp when the story initially came out. Maybe gya reacted and go to his shows or something no mo', I mean we can hope. 
 
And you're right, that we're free to do as we choose. I was just a little triggered because of the tone here sometimes 
 
example of the tone here: the guy sells his own demo tapes under a pseudonym on the japanese ebay just to get by was referred to as prominent and powerful 

My point was that all these soliloquies about bandmen and the community having to denounce Kisaki from the community like a leper who ordered national socialist paraphernalia in the mail completely ignores the fact that in Japan and in the vk scene it probably doesn't work like that. And I wasn't referring to Kisaki's past at any point by the way, but rather to the widespreading hazing and abuse that is not even widespread but referred to in numerous interviews including members of DeG and The GazettE just to name some of these indie nobodies spreading harmful unsubstantiated tanuki rumours, bits of which you can find from this forum. If anything even close to the shit that's in these stories came out involving someone in the American showbiz industry, they'd be goners or at least caused a polemic of such magnitude that we already have with the me too movement and so on; and then you add to this that in Japan you just don't sell out your elders because their gya came out on the supreme justice court of twitter, especially ones that has given a start to a number of people in the scene. God knows what kind of stuff is going in the background too with the father of the child and so on. The pics are about as incriminating as you can get and my knee jerk reaction is to hope the child will be involved with none of these people in the future, but the legal procedures are messy especially when it involves messy people, and if you think anyone at 100% is voluntarily involved with kisaki then godspeed to u fam 

ugh this is such a sad reminder that dexcore technically outperform both but no one cares about them on the kizu levels of stanning
 
 
OT i'm surprised that the new track almost sounds decent, if only they could get a better vocalist! oversanging falsetto queen sounds grating a.f.

Cracked? More like Cucked

the more embarrassing derivative nonsense  they release the more I wonder who actually ghost produced the first couple  years worth  of sadie singles;
 
I'm really curious what that person is up to these days

GORGEOUS!
Now let's only hope they don't pull a Metamorphose 2...

This is pure perfection and Mio showed off even some slightly more vocal skills he's capable of! ;D

Didn't even listen yet and I'm already entirely sure that it's going to  be MILES away from the insulated world.

Please stop using derogatory terms like "visual-kei" in this thread.
 
 
 
 
 
They are post-visual.

BTW I saw some shmuck claiming Kyo's range was G1-C9 on a YT comment.
 
1 ) The highest note any person ever hit was E8 (and it sounded really bad, the previous record holder that could go as high as Eb8 sounded much better). That's eight semitones below C9, more than half an octave.
2) While Kyo's has reached G#7 it's definitely not good sounding nor controled. And it's 1 octave and 4 semitones below C9. One octave has 12 semitones btw.
3) The highest note people from The Range Place count on his range is E6 since people there are really picky when it comes to counting stuff on vocal ranges. That's 2 FUCKING OCTAVES and 8 SEMITONES below C9. A piano only goes up to C8, but if it did go up to C9, this person would get the wrong note for fucking 32 piano keys.

Probably does the electronics or something. 
Either that, or his job is to manipulate fans and bandmen so Noah doesn't have to lol

I'm not a musician,but I know very well that you don't need to have a specific technique to be brutal,but to STAY brutal you gotta learn it properly or take care of it,if you have a natural talent, otherwise you'll get fucked up. Some people think that we are "praising" Deviloof just bcuz it's a VK-deathcore band.No.actually, I don't even like Jiluka or Nokubura. That fact is that deathcore became one of the most forgettable subgenres ever,and thanks to KEISUKE'S vocals,I'm back at this kind of music again. Of course there's plenty of bands as brutal as Deviloof,or even better than them,no doubt,but like Keisuke,no, he's unique.

I’d be okay with Jens Bogren mixing a full DEG album.
 
I’ve come to like the raw sound of TIW, but my main issue is that Toshiya and Shinya are somehow up front and buried at the same time. For my money the worst sounding album is Kisou, though. 

I appreciate your essay, but it doesn't change anything. "Brutal" is up to preference, actual vocal ability isn't. I like all those vocalists you talk about, but they lack any refinement and would wreck their voices if they went on.
 
 
Furthermore, stop putting words in my mouth. I never said that. I see you must've skimmed through my profile, but if you wanna poke at me, do your homework properly.

You say "properly" as if he isn't a poser. Brutal isnt about Technique it's about intention. This dude obviously wants to be brutal  but isnt there. Mejibray, the piass and  Aikaryu on the other hand are not and are just making music; so they dont have to be as good Alex terrible, Phil Bozeman, Dickie Allen, ect. they just have to not ruin the heavy/ish instrumental.  Are you saying you prefer new BMTH 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and they're more brutal cause oli wasnt doing unclean properly and had no technique back then? Tsuzuku definitely has a great filthy Piggy lows (body), powerful raw mid screams (body,rare), sinister highs as welll as nices frys(body), and powerful shrieks and Aikaryu has better fry/highs too. Brutal is basically like fashion, you have the ITs, the people wanna be not  ITs (Deviloof, Diru), and the different swag that still serves (mejibray, Aikaryu, the piass).
 
EDIT: Also i know this is a mejibray website so i wont so i wont be taking your "opinions" seriously.   "they are a band that  got worse over time" being spammed. the only songs that support that were statement was  "hakuraku" and Yokusou (欲槽) ended that.

Not a single vocalist you listed can't scream/growl properly. They are objectively trash, absolutely zero technique. Contrary to them Keisuke actually has a proper technique, combined with an insane range. Choosing to reject such an obvious evidence is just misguided. Did you even mean what you said? If so, I can't really take you seriously.
