What a bummer. Don't get me wrong for what I'll say, but I'm relieved Retsu and Sho are still on. Not that Ryuya and Taishi weren't important for the band but it will be easier for the band to replace them than the main composer and the vocalist. I hope they are able to overcome this and come back even stronger, just like they did before when Issei and Tsubasa left.

2 genders of MH:
-- seething at $50 live only dimlim demo CDs
 
-- seething at dimlim business-side neglect 

Katsuya has taken over on DIMLIM production since THE SILENT SONG, the dude is a god 
 
 
check out his own projects, Misanthropist and SLOTHREAT

this sounds like a nokubura track mashed up with a sid classic with a broken DSS record playing in the background, 
and i think they're the funniest band to ever emerge in this scene, not even golden bomber has that.

MIO's harsh vocals are so enjoyable
he just need to get rid of that homeless-otaku outfit.

Lin deserves huge credit hes taking up a huge role, not only is he joining a huge band but he has to make up for 2 guitarists. From the samples hes doing amazing i loved him in abstracts and im happy hes here. He gets to shine with a solo on the last track very nice ! 

I don't really know / care about the drama, but these sound like they'll be reaaal solid new tracks for running compared to Whiteout, I'm excited..(except maybe not SHOWTIME / 少年時代 but w/e)

I'd say Yoshiki but I'm unsure if he knows how to make good music anymore, hasn't made anything worthwhile since the 90s. 

Hey, no need to generalize anyone with that kind of mindset.  Liberals and Conservatives alike are still people and you don't need to be all "Hur dee dur LIBTARDS" about it. I'm tired of seeing people calling left-leaning people "snowflakes" or just saying that there offended to everything. Ya know it's ok to be offended? It's a normal response. 
 
Ugh, whatever. Tired of seeing people shit on this guy. I could defend him all day but I'm not gonna even start a riot in here. 

nokubura finally stink and now nazare and dimlim can claim the spot as heavy kei kings

Jesus Christ it’s worse than I thought 

Dozing Green and... and... Grief?! That came out of left field. Why the hell Grief of all songs?

I want a studio recording of the shorter version of Mazohyst

Eh they are always so lazy with their b-sides

oh hey it's another ''ignore everything but the a-side'' episode, great

I love the "itoshisa..." sad disco thing + jazzy saunter + sukekiyoisms + killer vocal melodies + teasing
 
Does it sound unfinished? YES.
The song should be like 4 minutes longer to fit in all the ideas (come through attention spans of bangya, they'll never do it).
Will i forgive them for it? YES.

I ran the japanese wikipedia article on Dum Spiro Spero on google translate ages ago. I know it's really far from reliable. but apparently "原曲" means "composition" or something and that is used quite consistently on the page?
 
There is actually no external references backing up that info, but from what the page says, "Different Sense" is Kaoru's, "Dreambox" is Kyo's, "Shitataru Mourou" and "Akatsuki" are Toshiya's, "Lotus" and "Vanitas" are Die's. Not all compositions have individual credits like that though

I think that's more or less the reason I can't fully take to NAZARE, like they aren't bad their just so damn all over the place. It's good to have variation but there just seems to be little inconsistency, songs are often a jumbled mess and full releases end up being kind of incoherent. I did think for what they put out with the sample of "IDEAL" that seemed to be the most consistent thing they've done, have taken a chance and pre-ordered it so look forward to hearing that when it gets here. Maybe they have finally found and settled on a specific style.

So yeah Vanitas 2.0 without the screams? Pretty decent song, if somewhat fairly reminiscent of stuff they've already done. I agree with people who said the song feels a bit disjointed and I feel like the individual parts of the songs aren't really well connected. 0:43 was absolutely jaw-dropping for me but then that part was never revisited again  Pretty neat guitar playing and goth gf Ryuya is bae ❤️
 
Those are my first impressions, I'm pretty sure it will grow on me with time  

Love the vocals (especially the chorus) and the solo, but that annoying "guitar noodling on the high strings just to fill space" trend needs to die already.
 
Disjointed song but good execution I guess...?

Some really good ideas but sloppy writing compared to chedoara....first verse to bridge was too sudden, some of the guitar parts are like 3/4 guitars at once and its distracting, and the bridge ending the song followed by the op chords seemed like a cheap finish....GIVE US DRAMAAA
 
BUT still better than pretty much everything else...that prog rock breakdown shook Leda's wig and i love the breakdown after the chorus

I feel a little disappointed with the track 😕 It feels like they tried to fit too many different things into one song and the transitions sound abrupt and unpleasant. Really enjoy the guitar at the very beginning and the chorus tho. Hopefully with a few more listens I’ll come to enjoy it.

Yeah that's definitely one of my biggest issues with the majority of heavy vk bands but I think the "dark symphonic gothic" vibe fitted Nazare better than that, since IMO  they've been doing that better than the other vibes they tried (the "big  atmospheric" thing, the "rave party" and the poppy major key ones).
