Peace Heavy mk II

Maybe it'll sound like Bullet or Visions, you never know!!!!!!!!!!!! (it won't)

they mu-ved on

I feel like there are more albums being released in the past 5 years than there have been in the 5 years prior to that? Could just be a memory bias, but vkei albums aren't super infrequent. I think the scene in general has wisened up a bit and realized that releasing stuff c o n s t a n t l y may not be financially viable, especially with historically smaller crowds buying physical releases. A Matina-styled "demo tapes every 3 months, plus omnibus exclusive songs, plus video tapes, plus cross-cover singles, plus interviews, plus..." doesn't really work today, as cool as it would be. With the internet, oversaturation and over-promotion is a very real thing and there's less of a need to be constantly bombarding people with new products when your old ones are more widely accessible. Unless of course, you're signed to -AINS-. Then you get a 101 stop tour and are forced to release two albums a year that are 80% new content, plus some live distros to keep the children occupied in the "off months."

Years of therapy are finally paying off!!

Yohio's Imp✩ct!!!

none of them, they'd just try to steal my wallet

The bass line in "Cage" and "Moon-light-dance" are some of the best melodic bass passages in the whole scene. I don't listen to modern Diru, so I cannot attest to how Toshiya sounds now but I imagine he does whatever prog-sludge-kyopera-metal thing they do pretty well. Mago and later Kisaki, I feel, isn't really known for being a bass wizard? He's more known for general atmosphere and musical aesthetic that's undeniably his, or inspired (read: ghost-written / "produced") by him (I think someone described it here as a "magical forest" feel in a review). I don't hold any Lin songs in high regard specifically for the bass work, but that doesn't mean he's a bad player. I hold Mana in a similar regard: I don't think he's a shredder like Hizaki or Leda, but I like his music more for the whole composition.

Malice Mizer - Illuminati Edit: the format of this post is fucked

Their pattern as of the past few years is to release a bunch of music video teasers on YouTube, then release an omnibus DVD that's an anthology of all of the label's music videos for the past 6~8 months. They did something similar with Scarlet Valse's single "Flames" -- live limited, digitally available only in Japan, a PV teaser, and then later it ended up on a music video collection disc.

If only -AINS- held out for 6 more months...

It looks like that's a mail-order-only version of a previous single that is now a mini-album but everything on it is old and it's only 49 copies and white people aren't allowed to buy it and

Misery were pretty similar to La'Mule Their song "Boku ga Koroshita Kimi" is my favorite, but I don't believe it's on YT. Plus like, peak vkei aesthetic
