Atleast they went out in style, Camera Obscura AOTY so far

WARNING: EUOLGY AHEAD!! GREAT WALLS OF TEXT!!
I discovered Lycaon sometime between late 2011 and early 2012, when I checked out a split CD they did with R指定, called 果し状. I heard R指定's cover of "the [1st] degree genocide holic" and wanted to discover Lycaon, so I checked out their song previews on iTunes, and downloaded their album “嘘と女と『　　　』,” and found it all quite interesting. I found the song "Jesus," and was absolutely amazed. The first instance of loving Lycaon. Other songs from the album weren’t what I expected, but still pretty cool. Shortly after, I checked out “Royal Order,” and songs like "Declaration of war" and "非雨" became instant favourites of mine.
Around this time, they released a single that just didn't jibe with me (麻薬/眩暈-めまい-), but I wasn't going to leave them. I continued to follow the band, but I just didn't consider them a big favourite of mine.
Fast forward to early 2013 when their single "薔薇 ~Rose~" comes out, and I'm delighted to hear their improved sound. I listened to it a few times here and there, was highly impressed by "朦朧." And then in September, we get "MASOCHIST RED CIRCUS," a step in a whole new direction. While I didn't listen to the whole thing until several months ago, I immediately noticed "覚醒" and "雨音の輪舞曲," both of which I fell in love with. Early 2014, "馬鹿ね。" and "悪女の微笑" came out, and while I downloaded them, I never made a point to listen to them. Although songs like "馬鹿ね。" and "月は無慈悲な夜の女王" would come up in iTunes shuffles time to time, and I would be impressed.
Later that year, a music video preview of a new single called "Shadow" surfaced, and I was intrigued. I wanted more. And when the single was released, I listened to it immediately, and I fell in love with the single! I fell in love with Lycaon. All three tracks from the single were astonishing! I was so happy, and then I figured out about this new album coming out called "Camera obscura," and I was BEYOND excited for it. Gearing up for the album, I've seen the band's past works in a different light. I listened to the "馬鹿ね。" and "悪女の微笑" singles, just getting more and more fucking PUMPED for the new album. And when I heard the actual album, I of course fell in love with it. A few songs took some growing, but I love the album so much (despite the shitty production quality)!
But of course, shortly after, Lycaon announced a disbandment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Lycaon will disband” was the first thing I saw when I turned my phone on and thought it was a prank; then I found out it is so very real, and I was in a mixture of deep shock and disbelief that something like this would happen. While the (online) “memorial service” I attended (nearly all of) that day was fun, I was still very sad that they made this decision. The past few days all in all have been highly stressful, this disbanding contributing to it.
It’s funny. I have always said that “I didn’t fall in love with Lycaon until Shadow,” but going over this story so many times in my head, I realise that I have always loved something about them in some way since the beginning. There have been songs that I have fallen in love with since day one. I may have been cynical of their “Erotic era,” but some kind of love was still there.
We’re all searching the internet up and down and scratching our heads for theories about why this is happening and what could happen after the end, but we won’t know until it happens. Lycaon is a wonderful band, that has created wonderful music that I hope I can still enjoy happily after they disband. For whatever reason that may exist, they (mutually, I assume) made this decision and are surely at peace with it. For that reason, I want to be able to make peace with their decision too, but I know that it will be a long and difficult process…
Lycaon are still here with us, and I am very excited for their last single coming soon, but I will miss them dearly when they officially leave us.

月は無慈悲な夜の女王, is from gossip. but anyway for me it was similar. around 2011-2012  on youtube trying to find bands to listen to because my old "music" was trash. I made note of Lycaon as a metal band, but then listen to eros and such and was like what? I still liked it and thought it was good, but favored metal Lycaon. fast forward a little bit Lycaon was my number 5, then I remember loving the previews mayaku/memei even though they were "crappy" demo ver. (not sure if they moved up). Anyway from that point on they were the only band that was always flawless, and i always loved everything. Became my drug and healer in life, so yeah obsessed because other band (in vk) just come in go like season, Lycaon was constant, like they were thinking about me. and Rose was when i realized yuuki's valuable (for whole disco).

yes. it's fantastic. however most of their discography is. Depending on what you like most, check out dai7 (jazz), dai6 (funk), dai5 (almost gothy). 5 and everything before has their first vocalist (shuuji 1), who is much more punk influenced/dark sounding - however shuuji 2 re-recorded pretty much all the back catalogue when he joined.
 
(Just stay away from 10 + 11 and you'll be fine.)

You should honestly check out dai5 to 7 before anything else. 6 is my personal favorite but you can't go wrong with any of them.

That fucking wind bag of a mail man better have my package tomorrow morning or someone is going to be missing a ballsack, and it isn't gonna be me.

PLEASE don't drop a single just because. XD
 
Their look is incredible I'm so ready for this

It wass announced on 13th Anniversary Concert new album ''DOGMA'' will be released on 8/2015 details to be REVEALED.
They also played one new song from the Album on the show.
 

constantly trying to (weakly) troll other posters and then playing the victim lmao.
 
cute.

This thread has officially turned into a grudge match. This looks a bit nasty. [insert abandon thread gif]  
 
EDIT: Lmao everyone needs to chill, I know it sucks having Lycaon disband and all and you have the right to feel a bit blue because of that. As well as having the ability to ignore those who want to make a joke out of it, just ignore them. I cant say its easy for everyone but still, try at least not to feed into it, it eggs them on. I'm not choosing sides or anything, I'm just saying how I feel about this (NOT THAT WHAT I SAY IS RELEVANT LMFAO BUT WHAT EVER FLOATS ON WATER OR IN AIR). Seriously guys, just chill. But then everyone always has to remember, This is the internet, there are people who are gonna screw with you no matter where you go. lol

^ Yeah, that sounds pretty accurate. xD Nepenthes totally sounds like a "typical" MEJI'song, with all the positive and not-so-positive aspects that might entail (not sure whether I wholeheartedly love it yet, but it's not bad).

THANK YOU.

Got something tasty coming for you guys in the download section tomorrow. A tasty bowl of SHIT NOODLE... <3 And holy shit there's a shit storm in this thread no pun intended.

I would be SO FUCKING HERE for a new album!!! And I'm really curious about the comment of longer songs! I've always wanted longer GazettE songs, maybe a 10 track album with 5-7 minute songs. You guys can snore at that idea all you want, but I like long songs, and while I have hopes for the GazettE to grow and do different things as a band and go new places, they haven't failed to impress me, so I still look forward to whatever new music they've got planned!
I would also like some more composers for the next album, and especially URUHA to get more spotlight. Don't get me wrong, I like RUKI's compositions, but I was a lot more impressed by what other members wrote on BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY (I'm pretty sure EVERY member wrote at least one song for that album).
Also, I would hope for more experiments with songs structure. When they were interviewed before DIVISION's release, there was something said that made me falsely expect to hear something on the "proggy side." Also, when DIVISION was announced as being a two disc release, with only 7 songs per, I have a vague memory of someone making a joke of hoping for "17 minute chug fests" lol.
