I've been subscribed to Nero for a while and I'm glad he's in a band now but the guy only does Dir En Grey covers which is kind of worrying. I hope he's not a Kyo clone when it comes to performing original material.

I think they just don't know what to do. Ever since they realized that they were in this position they probably started to rely on Retsu to pull all the strings more than usual and he probably is just as lost as them in this situation. All of the decisions they're making are so sporadic, like when they dropped their visuals it just seemed like some sort of desperate last effort attempt at trying to appeal towards western fans or something. All they have to do is focus on getting new members and then take some time with the album. It's a slow yet sure and unfortunate decline that I don't see them recovering from.

Damn they really shouldn't have promised an album in this situation, all I can see happening is the album constantly being delayed. I feel like Retsu sees the band more as a business.

All 3 discs for Vestige Of Scratches have been uploaded to EU spotify recently, I think they're just trying to get more of their discography onto a streaming platform. Weird how they added the -Kai- remix album though.

The CD is pretty good! I'll definitely keep an eye out for them

Wow its like good cop bad cop

I do agree with you, however, how would a cease and desist work in this scenario? Wouldn't someone automatically relinquish the rights to the music if they leave the band and gets replaced?

done 👍

I'd suck the dude on the right off, no homo

The drumming on the song isn't even that bad. It's just that one fast section which isn't horrible but I've been hearing that same drum pattern since Dum Spiro Spero. How the hell did he even get through the extreme tracks on DSS without becoming a robot that can only play a few simplified drum patterns? You would think he would have learned how to maneuver in sections like that by now but I guess not.

It all sounds the same to me its just as shallow as American pop music, I don't see a difference so I will never understand why K-Pop is as popular as it is. It has to have one of the worst fandom's I've ever seen though, I've never seen a music genre with a community as bad as K-Pop's. The only thing I can compare it to are video games like Undertale and FNAF (albeit Undertale was a decent game). K-Pop song: 음경 16 year old white girls: omg this is so deep i relate 2 this....

Hes probably months away from ruining his voice if he keeps doing it consistently, he sounds pretty rough from what I've heard. This man needs a vocal coach, I don't want him to lose those beautiful sounds of pigs dying.

Honestly it just sounds like a bunch of the Insulated World tracks mixed together, its not too appealing but if the track is gonna be 10 minutes I cant really judge from 2 minutes of listening. I just hope they don't keep trying to get the Vinushka or Macabre feel again, Zetsuentai was the worse track on the album lol

Cant wait for VAGNA

Its the curse of Visual Kei 💀

Yep, cant believe its 2019 and people are still ripping music under 320kbps

I really thought Vanitas -White- and Aizounitsuki -Black- were gonna be fully fleshed out acoustic remakes, that was kind of a bummer.

I think I would have enjoyed the album more if I didn't hear the entire first fucking half of the album months before release, the weird ass interludes don't help either. The entire album doesn't seem fresh and feels a bit recycled like they were trying to look desperately for material, in that case, I wish they would remake Nightmare, they remade Ruin and Aishite Kudasai so why not Nightmare? I also wish to GOD that they used a real drum kit when recording the album, it sounds like ass. The instrumentals in general are so bland and uninspired that its the main downfall of the album. One redeeming quality about that album is that I can finally hear the bass now lmfao The album is definitely a bummer but not dreadful, its for sure their worst release so far though.

Interesting to say the least, I think the vocals could be somewhat improved though

I feel like the vocalist is trying too hard, its all over the place (which sometimes can be a good thing) but in this case its just sloppy in my opinion. Definitely not gonna put them aside though, they have potential.

I've always been told the song is about abortion and after looking at the lyrics I could see why people say that, especially after watching the music video. Looking back on it now the only lines that stuck out to me in terms of talking about abortion are "The arguing and the intimacy of the assembled" "Starving for euthanasia" and "What is so pure about pushing them around?". Other than that, after seeing @nekkichi's post I have realized that I am most likely wrong.

I believe "Different Sense" is another one about abortion

I just got into Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas recently as well and I never thought I would like an electronicore band so much. To give you an answer though, could the band be "We Butter the Bread with Butter"?
