I'm still confused as to why they stopped THE EIGHT if they're going to form another band with all the same members - U + another female vocalist. This makes no friggin sense .____.

Didn't Jun have his own band? What happened with that?

the price is correct...and regular edition will be released after limited edition is sold out That makes more sense then. I was wondering if that was intentional or not. Guess all we can wait for now is a tracklist

Depending on the ticket prices, I'd say that sounds much more reasonable than spending 8400yen on three copies of the same album for some 'special CD' that's probably just a comment-track. (2500 x 3) + 3500 > 8400. I researched it again and it turns out it was three lives and not two.

They pulled this shit before with the "SHOW UP TO OUR TWO LIVES AND TOUR FINAL, GET SPECIAL CD". Hardly anyone did it. Bet anything it's the same exact CD because they have leftover presses. Lycaon, leave the obscene marketing ploys to bigger bands that actually have enough rabid fans to pull it off with reasonable success.

Their compositional skills have also improved. They're adding more textures and more elements into their songs. I can't find anything on their first album that compares to NEO SCREAM, for example. One of the reasons why I didn't like Abnormal Head Machine is because of the awful transitions. Something like Dust Pain or Think doesn't work when you have these heavy as fuck verses with a poppy chorus, and A.H.M was just a succession of track after track after track that followed that formula. Once they dropped the "omg we hare metalcore VK" and experimented more with different soundscapes, they've improved consistently. Up until DOGMA was released they haven't had an in your face, every-track-is-extremely heavy-for-no-reason release (which DOGMA is). Every release has a variety of hard rockers, some nicer ballads and some mid-tempo pieces. DOGMA feels like cold leftovers in comparison to the BLACK- mini's.

So do I. They've only gotten better since they've joined PSC, even though DOGMA shows signs of it being rushed.

Genki better have improved if he's going to try that route again. With that said, I wouldn't mind if they went that route, as long as they didn't sound like the millionth pseudo-metalcore VK band that's formed this year.

1) wtf kind of name is MEJIBRAY 2) any info on support musicians?

If it is, the scene's going to die extremely quickly. They could chop that number down to 1200 and I STILL doubt they'd be able to sell that many.

I was reading about purple Heavy Rocks earlier today. Glad to see that it's a completely different work. What I'm most curious about is seeing if they're still sticking with their analog lo-fi recording or if they're going to stick with what I *think* I heard on Partyboy and have clearer production.

I actually read this as if OP was asking if he could upload releases by bands from other countries. In case he was (or even if he wasn't) uploads go in this forum. European/American artists are allowed only with the permission of the artist though, so you'd have to check to see if it's fine. Otherwise, it's just like Champ said. And I wasn't aware that Visual Kei was a phenomenon outside of Japan o_O

I'm guessing Eversince is going to be the ballad version this time?

This! What the hell happened to her? x 3. Such underrated talent...:\

Probably not, since they're sessions and sessions usually don't release material.

Isn't NEW ALBUM going to be a full-length or am I mistaken?

It most likely is because of Hideto. VK bands are notorious for quitting altogether when one member can no longer/no longer wants to continue.

Im not interested in this band but i thought they were pretty known around here and got some fans. So, whats the point of those people always going with this anovwlbla. If youre not interested why you even post? To piss off the (few) fans the band got around here? Isnt information somewhat of a purpose of a jrock forum? To inform about bands even if they're not known so much in your opinion? (I know that there is a Minor News Thread). Think about it like this - when you have a thread of a band disbanding that only a few people care about it's fine for them to come into the thread and say "Man, this sucks. They were so good and full of potential!". But what about the people that didn't really like the band or thought they were capable of more? You don't think it's fair that they can enter a thread and say "Man, they weren't really all that special. I thought they were capable of more but now that they're gone they can move on and start potentially better projects."? The way I see it, as long as everyone keeps it civil and no one's stomping on anyone else's toes there's no problem with saying you never liked a band that's disbanding.

*insert joke about how the best VK indies band around is one that no one here knows about*

We need a topic prefix called [ANOVWL] so every time Trombe announces the disbandment of an indies visual band almost no one here has heard of, we already know. Having said that, I hope Hideto gets better.

58GNGRHlOEE New album title called NEW ALBUM? IDK.

‎"Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish have decided to take their orchestral influences even further by creating a movie to compliment the album. This project is set to release in 2012 and the shootings will begin this spring. The name for the album and movie will be Imaginarium." /day

Initially I would think that he'd cover Lycaon songs because those are the ones he already knows how to play. But Rito MUST have taught them how to play Jesus, Marigold, EROS and PINK MILK, in which case wtf is this band all about.

This is the band with Tomozo correct?

If they're going to cover EROS, why did Mio decide to leave Lycaon in the first place? :\
