This is great news, I'm extremely excited! Hoping for an EP personally!!

God Kamijo can get it... That picture needs to be a poster on my wall

This is obviously great news, I'm glad they're coming back in full force. I hope in the next few months before their live they produce some new music to play at the show and release shortly after. I also hope they use this time to have Kamijo release a little more solo stuff maybe. Jupiter we can just pretend didn't exist.

Album sounds pretty good, seems like there's a decent amount of variation from one track to the next but I'm not sure how in love with it I'm gonna be.

*heavy breathing* Much Div Very music Such EP

I'm not as interested as I used to be in this band. I feel like A9 and Diawolf are both good, but harelipped reminders of what I used to love. In any case, Diawolf's new EP actually did inspire in me some love so I hope this does as well. I want to love them again.

Excellent! This is great news!

I AM HYPERVENTILATING THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE HOLY GOD LET THEM CONTINUE TO RELEASE MUSIC AND NOT JUST A ONE DAY REVIVAL

I'm not fluent enough in Japanese to even attempt to create an account, but I can't imagine people from outside Japan can create accounts. In any case, if its a free download it should be easy enough to get and share *ahem* right?

*inhuman screeching* THIS. IS. SUCH. INCREDIBLE. NEWS.

YAAAAAAAS! I need there to be a duet with KAMIJO!!

Good, their music was hit and miss at best. kaya was best in Schwarz stein and so I hope that continues on and maybe some more solo work but I literally couldn't sit through one more lackluster goth song.

'Til Kingdom Come by Coldplay

Completely excited, I've loved literally everything about this era. They're coming to kill it again.

I enjoy the nonsensical spelling.

They've barely done anything so I'm not surprised. Their music was decent but ive been craving an MdM comeback so I'm hoping Seth can focus more on working with them.

I wish them luck for a variety of reasons. They're both extremely talented so I'm excited to watch them progress in new musical projects. However it just reaffirms to me that Versailles isn't coming back ever. I guess that was confirmed a while back but like I kept hearing people say that they will be back just be patient but if they're already not interested in being a part of Jupiter they probably won't be interested in reforming Versailles. In either case I hope this means that Jupiter will regroup with equally as talented members and try to make better music and I can't wait to see what Yuki and Masashi do with their lives.

Thats insane, RIP Fuuma. Gone far too soon.

Sounds great!! I'm excited as always

Pretty okay song. I'm imaging an HQ version would make it's greatness more apparent.

Yessssssssssss I love this man. I'm so excited.

Artist: 摩天楼オペラ (Matenrou Opera) Single: BURNING SOUL 1. BURNING SOUL 2. EMPEROR 3. アブサン (Absinthe) Rating: | Matenrou Opera is set to burn the competition up! This year has been an interesting one for our boys in 摩天楼オペラ. Starting off strong with the incredible "Ether", they set high expectations for their new elemental-themed album era. However, their following three singles of the elements wind, water, and earth fell short of those expectations. It was quite a let down as they are among my favorite active bands today and typically rock the longer songs without losing my interest, but these elemental singles just felt half-hearted and long for the sake of being long. Wrapping up this consecutive single quintet with the fire element was an astounding idea. "Burning Soul" brings to life the passion that the band so clearly had in their last few eras. The title track has several different movements that all make sense in the context of a song of average length. The only questionable aspect of the song is Sono　yelling towards the beginning and the end. I find him to be an excellent singer, but not particularly good at anything even close to harsh vocals. That being said, the rest of the single continues to live up to the expectations set by the previews. Sono's vocals are pretty consistent whether they're screamed or not, which is refreshing. "Emperor" has a twinge more edge to it, with a pretty decent guitar solo, which in comparison to what we know Anzi can do is a bit understated. However, it flows well with the energy of the song. Additionally, there's more electronic influences in this song which is anticipated due to the fact they have a keyboard player, but we rarely ever hear him use actual electronic music in lieu of the kinds of synths we hear in the final track, "アブサン" (Absinthe). Instead of providing energy to the track, the keyboards set the mood. "アブサン" has an immense presence; the intro is rather foreboding leading into one of the catchier visual rock songs I've heard in recent memory. Again, the only complaint is with Sono's "yelling". Yelling is really the only word to describe it. It's less of a harsh, threatening scream and more of an attempt to yell. Otherwise, the song's mood fits in well with the single as a whole. All very hard rock and appropriately heavy when needed, melodic and catchy, but most importantly: memorable. Support the band! Purchase BURNING SOUL maxi-single here and support the band!

The breakdown is really cool, not a huge fan of his harsh vocals, but I like the song at least a little bit.

I really like the other new tracks as well. I'm totally digging this solo project, it isn't entirely Deathgaze-like but it does have what I loved most about the band.

I actually ended up enjoying Happy Unbirthday a lot, so I'm excited to see what they come up with next. A bit early to make any actual judgment though.
