    Yea their 2 minis are findable, the rest is really hard. And for your other question, I also own their 思考回路と遮断神経 demo but I'm not uploading it, sorry :( It was a pain in the ass to find and really expensive.

    I do have most of their other songs on my pc, could upload a few soon.

    And yea, the new Awake is even better than the old one!

    @Peace I always thought Psychopass was one of their lesser songs... actually I find all of their songs pre-Create of a new Plague not that good. All the stuff after is good though!

    @Cat you should! I recommend NeoCrimes, it has some of their best songs. I'll upload it in the DL section.

    By the way, the PV versions of Awake, Mest and COANP are re-recorded so different from the originals.

    WERKMARE.png

    WERKMARE was a japanese Rock/Metal band from Hokkaido, signed under the Anarchist Records label. They formed in late 2000 and disbanded halfway 2004. They held a one-day revival live in 2008. Most of the band's songs were written by drummer Hiyoka, but guitarist Nachi also composed several songs such as -13- and Awake.

    After disbanding, vocalist Aika went solo, and then formed the jazzrock band Rodwell. After that he formed the electronic rock band 2nd awake with drummer Hiyoka.

    Nachi and Mukuro formed the band √eight, and in 2010 joined The Piass. IN 2011 they also formed HAZE.

    Kagetsu and Hiyoka joined the band Sons of New School after WERKMARE's disbandment, but left in 2008. Hiyoka also played support drums for many bands until forming 2nd Awake with Aika.

    Vocals: 藍架 (Aika) (R・A・I・D → WERKMARE → グリッド → -aika-(solo) → ロドウェル → グリッド小学校, R・A・I・D, 2nd awake)

    Guitar, vocals: 那智 (Nachi) (MUSE → NEIGE → WERKMARE → √eight → 妃阿甦, HAZE)

    Man, I love these guys. I only found out about them after I heard √eight, but they were good. VK-standard good of course, but still. Awake and -13- are two of the best songs Nachi wrote.

    I hadn't listened to these guys in ages and then found out someone uploaded their entire WERKMARE videotape onto youtube, yay!

    Loved the demo with syn on vocals.

    The first few releases (up to Pistol) were also really good, Masataka's version of Namida Iro Laboratory maybe being even slightly better than the original.

    Don't really care for anything after that tho.

    Then again, 75% of the bands disband within half a year and aren't signed to any label, their releases are sold only at lives, etc.

    I mean, many VK bands have always been that underground, but never as much as now is the impression I'm getting. Before, shitty bands could get signed, but now (thankfully) that doesn't happen as often anymore.

    I remember back in 2006 someone uploaded two singles to a rotation website. One was GOZ VII(which I still listen to and love after all these years), the other Dali's first single, Antithesis. I was instantly in love with Jam, and had no idea the bands were visual kei, I just liked the music.

    I followed Dali for some time until their first album, then lost interest. But I really liked their earlier sound, even though in hindsight the band wasn't all that good. Still, good memories with their music for me.

    Oh and Sugar Forkful was really cool too.

    So I think this guy deserves more attention, one of my favourite Dutch artists.

    He started out as a rapper in Dutch formation DAC, then went solo in 2004.

    In 2006 he released his first album, combining several music styles and showed he wasn't just a good rapper, but also a very skilled singer and instrumentalist.

    He released his second album in 2011, gradually moving away from rapping(though still collaborating with other rappers).

    He also collaborated as vocalist with several prog-rock projects such as Ayreon, Rust(Kristoffer Gildenlöw) and For All We Know(Within Temptation guitarist Ruud Jolie).

    This is his new rendition of one of his first songs, superb vocal skills:
