Visual Kei is SAVED

its all on wikipedia baybee!!!!!

It literally looks like something that was slapped together by some intern who learned how to work Photoshop like five minutes ago, idk why y'all are reading so deeply into this as if it has some profound and deep meaning

The cover art looks like the type that belongs to some kind of djent band obsessed with science or whatever

almost reminds me of one of those deep fried memes

By the way, where does this guy even come from? Did he just basically pop up out of nowhere or has he actually been in some notable bands before he started this solo project stuff?

Ah, the annual 'blatant sex tourism' tour of 2018

clean vox borderline sound like that Junno dude from Boogieman

that title combined with that flyer just makes the whole thing sound like a shitpost but i'm fuggin hyped

This kinda gives off the impression there'll be vocals though? Or does Shuuji play any instruments as well?

Something in the guitar tone reminds me of Merry... (Not the actual song itself tho, just the overall tone)

Coaltar of the Deepers? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OH FUGGGG that's great news! These guys were really great actually, super underrated band. Really enjoyed the albums i've heard by 'em so far

It's literally been less than a year since their last release though lol, but nice! These guys are always pretty consistent. Feels like they've just kinda quietly been grinding away in the background since their name change, they don't seem to get a lot of exposure among most Western parts of the fanbase... probably not enough kawaii jrockers for the fangirls or w/e lol

Vanitas and the track w/ the sombrero PV are the best songs on the album in my opinion. GROTESQUE, D. Hymnus and the final track are great too, the other stuff isn't doing very much for me yet after a first listen, but those 5 alone would be enough for EP of the year if they'd been bundled as one package. Always unfortunate when a band decides to waste a track on a rather mediocre S.E. though, leave that stuff for live shows

for real though, at this rate there will come a time when these guys legit will have more ''best of'' compilations than actual original songs

my condolences to the 1 phantasmagoria stan who will still buy this

remember when 12012 did the exact same thing with that one album? also, goddamn, those obligatory heavy tracks they put on to still somewhat reel the old fanbase back in sound like hot garbage production-wise lmao

I mean, in all fairness to both you and @Kiryu999, it basically IS classic VK marketing 101... Actually, y'know, I wouldn't even be very surprised if they would pull another one of those 'collection album' deals with maybe one or two bonus tracks tacked on at the end after all these singles drop. 42-type single when???

why don't they just release this as a fucking full-length album instead of as a whole bunch of singles? Even the A and B types are pretty much completely different tracklist-wise other than the A-Sides

There's several people who used to be on Batsu/Fukkatsu back in the day on here, I reckon. I used to be Turtels on there fwiw

can't wait to see Kyouki, Mei and his rapper friend teaming up to form the first '90s VK + rap crossover band

Even though Kyo may not be the main composer for sukekiyo, it is still generally presented as 'his' project, and he's essentially the face of the band...

all the english titles outside of maybe ranunculus kinda feel like they were ripped straight from a lynch album

so any guesses on which of those songs will turn out to be the other ones they've been playing live recently besides Ranunculus?
