    Great news! I also hope they'll be including those recent singles on the album.

    But is their drummer Yuta not part of the band anymore? He's absent from both the line-up for the album and the promotional pics.

    Yeah, I believe he left... though that's Plasticzooms, they change members without notice all the time

    They played 3 songs. Probably the 3 single songs. If I remember well Satoshi only screamed on the last song. The first song is the one that gave me the post-hardcore impression... aside from Satoshi's singing the instrumentation is pretty much post-hardcore. There was a breakdown and everything. The second song is the single one, it has that poppy chorus but overall it's pretty rocky, and it's also got another breakdown(not as hard as the first song though). The third song was more melodic and also got the post-hardcore vibe again, with screaming on the end, kinda reminds me of Vision. We get a solo instead of a breakdown this time(nicovideo went crazy when the solo started haha)

     

    And that's it. I liked it. And the overall use of electronics reminded me of Music, but that's it, it's not going to be that same nu metal, specially as Satoshi isn't screaming these days, but his singing is just fine.

    Surprisingly good. Well

     

    Edit: Just watched the absolute decision live. They only played for 20 minutes and new songs, but ok

    There's lots of dubstep and some post-hardcore mixed in this new stuff. It's almost like some uverworld stuff

     

    It's not too different from Music stuff though, for example, so I don't get the drama

    I'm curious as to how they're gonna put 50 artists on there lol.

    Most bands have 4-5 artists. Their facebook mentions there are songs by groups formed for the project, but that's not the rule. So, if L'arc en ciel recorded a cover, that's 4. Kuroyume, 2. Luna Sea, 5. And so it goes. It's pretty easy to get 12 songs that way

    I bet Dir en grey is also in considering Kaoru is big friends with Dead End. Also.... 50 artists? That's a lot

    We'll have to wait I guess to see if the entire L'arc en ciel is in, for example

    The idea of a tribute for DEAD END has surfaced many times since more than 10 years ago, but the dreamlike project did not come to fruition. As might be expected from DEAD END who is famous for being "musician's musician", they have countless numbers of followers. As a matter of fact, when this same project was brought up at the beginning of the 2000s, there were many enthusiastic remarks from various artists such as "Make it soon, I'll definitely take part" "I want to do xx". However, on top of DEAD END being inactive at the time, MORRIE was living in New York, and the other members were all scattered. As such, the passion from the other musicians did not manage to take shape. After ten-odd years, DEAD END has revived splendidly and once again they have begun to shine as a musician in the present continuous tense. Many musicians who've always respected DEAD END gathered at the venue where the band held their 25th debut anniversary live "Kaosmoscape" in September 2012. This in turn heightened the passion to materialize this tribute album.
    Even if one is to look around the Japanese music scene, there probably isn't another band who had such a great influence on as many musicians as DEAD END did. There are many who said what triggered them to start music was DEAD END. If they didn't exist, the current music scene might have became something very different. That being the case, musicians who were affected by them have very strong feelings towards this project and so production took on a bit of an eccentric form where only "those who strongly love and respect DEAD END" have participated. Packed full of their feelings for the piece they have chosen, the participating musicians will be expressing in their own special way the song they feel strongly attached to. Although many tribute albums have been released, it'll be hard to find another piece of work overflowing with as much love as this one. The music scene in the latter half of 2013 will certainly be greatly stunned by the phenomenal performances from the participating musicians who inherited genes from DEAD END, and by the numerous famous tunes of DEAD END which are simply stylish and timeless.
