Peace Heavy mk II

They're also having a oneman in Shanghai in June http://www.babykingdom.jp/schedule_detail/79773

Ugh I was actually starting to like them more than Hueye, but it was apparent that they were the ugly step child of PUNCH’s lineup.

Xavat announced on twitter that they will be releasing a new mini-album. Further details, other then it being live-limited in pre-sale, have not been announced.

@suji isn't allowed to say anything other than "he's leaving" in this thread

At least this many lmao

How many bands are going to use that riff around 2:40 lol

Meidara were kinda boring from what I remember, but these guys look cool. I'll check them out when their first release drops

Call the finale "The Gazette" and book it at O-east for lulz

My first initial thoughts: -Intro was too long. I thought the small tonal change around 15 seconds was going to be the real start, but there's another 25 seconds of buildup after that. -You do repeat a main theme a couple of times in the song, and perform a couple of slight variants on it here and there. However, it felt like a couple of sections were disjointed and random for the sake of diversity, rather than adding to the idea as a whole. For example, when your drum structure changes around 1:50 to be less syncopated; not a bad idea, but there's a lack of context since it happens, then shortly bleeds out of that pattern without going back to it or playing off of it again. -You're good at writing buildup. I found myself anticipating the next section of the song because you led me to want to. However, I felt like a lot of times there wasn't significant payoff as a reward for that anticipation. (This could just be because this kind of bleak post-apocalyptic style isn't really my genre of choice. I'm trying to be objective about musical structure, rather than the content itself). -That ending was really nice. The way the beeps build up akin to how a lot of EDM songs do their first drop, then end in a flatline was a nice touch. It shows you put some thought into how it should end, rather than just fading to grey or something less deliberate.

stunt http://hyperurl.co/45z191 Here's where to get the new single. It doesn't appear to be on Spotify at the moment, nor the US iTunes store (this could be because it isn't the 22nd as of when I am writing this)

@Himeaimichu I think I mentioned it earlier in this thread, but the bass part around 1:39 is also from Baiser's "Damage." They use a lot of old-school vkei references in their music, but they are very good at hiding them / making them their own.

http://hyperurl.co/abx64t On a side note, they also changed their Spotify profile to be "ZERO[Hz]" instead of "zerohz".

ugh I'm hoping the serious announcement is them forming a new band or something.

If it's also during the olympics, good luck!!!

everyone looks either bored or in duress

lmfao

this is why you spellcheck your creatives before you tweet them, kids

Kind of two weird examples today. The first, I think it is more coincidental, but I could be onto something. The main melody of the song "After Dark" by Seraphim Shock sounds a lot like Aliene Mariage's "SUICIDE," just at 1/3 the tempo and without the cRaZy vKeI VoCaLs ayiiiiiiiiiiiiiii edit: it'd be really great is the spoiler tags weren't eating each other Now, this particular case I think is more of a coincidence, than a ripoff. While the Seraphim Shock song did come out first, I don't think they were popular enough for a relatively small (on a macro-scale) goth band across the world to pick up their albums and thing "...huh, I could be a prettier version of this!!" That being said, I have seen people say Aliene "borrowed" from Slipknot on their 2nd album, so it's not an impossible thing to imagine. However, I am leaning towards this sample being a weird, but cool, similarity. Example number two: "Brave Heart," from the Digimon OST vs L'arc~en~ciel's "Vivid Colors" vs

what a boob

That's vk.gy vk dot gy!

That album art is gorgeous, so I'm going to have to get the best-fan-ever edition again 🤑

Dad rock Kiryu put their stuff on Spotify

mmmmmmmmmm SW at least helped get their first promo-single digitally distributed. They might be like Visage, who was "supported" by UNDER CODE but wasn't actually signed to them.
