The Reverend

I could absolutely go for 'the god and death stars with kazuma vocalizing'

Just booked a ticket to The Netherlands for the end of August! Friend is going to The Hague for work... I am unceremoniously crashing her trip/free hotel room

Grieva!

Wait.. is that not how to pronounce their name?? Also, BOO they're not on the DC / northeast part of the tour.

The name and yu-ga doing his trademark finger on his face pose again are hitting the nostalgia hard but I'm a bit disappointed... I thought the last Gokiburi mini-album was the best thing he's ever done by far.

Damn good review of a damn good album. If you're here mostly for the VK (which I am I guess...) check this album out anyway and then play it for your metalhead friends that complain when you put on japanese shit... they'll thank you. Speaking of Boris and ISIS... I am supremely jealous of anybody who makes it out to these shows: That fuckin' line-up! And good to see COHOL getting equal billing (or at least an equal-sized logo) as those other bands.

[2] Seriously if someone here goes to these shows holla! I will shower you with money for this album.

Alright!

Dude was pimpin' that theremin. Also, second gallo video in a row where someone unzips their pants? Definitely diggin' it though.

I like J enough but his albums are just SO same-y. You could pick any of his LPs and pretty much have all the J you ever need... here's hoping he tries to mix it up a little bit (but I doubt it).

Probably skewing a little too 'mummy' for my tastes. Take off just a few bandages and they'd have an awesome La'Mule cosplay happening.

Hell yes. Only a month away!

Super excited for this! They have a great sound.

My bad... in the interest of 'never let (ting) their spirit die out' I subjected my carpool-mate to some Camellia & Alejandro today on the way to work... almost definitely at a volume not suited to 0700.

So I just listened to Camera Obscura for the first time today (I know, I know) and I'm digging the hell out of the stretch of tracks between the first two SEs.... doesn't touch the first half of Royal Order but way better than I was anticipating. Of course now I'm kind of bummed they're breaking up.

So what are people's thoughts on Mirror,Mirror? It sounds very Nega to me.... but also like a very boring Nega song that doesn't really go anywhere. Sometimes I make the mistake of equating rarity with quality, and I think I did that here. I got hyped cause it's a cool title and I didn't see it for auction for like a month after it came out... but I should remember that live-distro CDs are probably mostly made up of B-sides that the band already decided weren't really good enough for proper release, and that's exactly what Mirror, Mirror sounds like.

I probably don't need to keep commenting in this thread but I get serious pavlov-ian excitement when I see new rarezhut updates... looking forward to the live auction business.

Haha, no joke I thought the spots of real silence then the microphone noise 'silence' were a (bewildering) artistic choice.... I give this band too much credit. Excited for a new mini-album...although at this point after their prolific 2014 of releasing tunes I'd kind of rather have a live dvd right now.

AvelCain fan... Nagoya kei.... kind of old (ha! I'm 28).... we can get along just fine! Welcome. Be sure to tell us about the shows you hit in Tokyo.

Damn, picked up a couple of "I didn't even know this existed" rarez this time. Thanks for that 10%!

Heisei Ishin did the whole "oh us? we're just casually levitating over here" look wayyyy better. Liked some of Love It's album more than I thought I would though, so cautiously interested.
