The Reverend

This lineup is solid. Good to see Karin back too!

That song with "11" in the title was some A+ pop rock fun.

He pronounces phalaenopsis really well.

That bag is amazing @evenor!!! Let me know if you think the gx3 live is good after you watch it. (I don't think they put a preview online...)

This. I liked these guys.

Nice! Bringing it back to the good ol' days with an 'in-the-woods' PV. (Song is alright I guess.)

That new toe sounds sweet! Y'all both got the wrong song from Chedoara though... the last minute/outro riff of "愛憎につき..." might be my favorite part of a song from this year so far.

Geez they look young. I'm gonna guess Slayer cause I think they were teenagers when they started and maybe around the right time period (but these dudes look very British so I doubt I'm right)

Fun topic! (Correct me if I'm wrong and they did release something...) I don't think there was really a live DVD from Kagerou's indie, pre-full album days. Basically I wish they'd released a concert DVD from the show(s) they recorded the Wrist Cutter PV at. Zekkyou Psycopath was good, but nothing touches Daisuke's sequined suits from the wrist cutter video.

Mono new (and 10th!) album "Nowhere Now Here" will be released on January 25, 2019. Tracklist: 1. God Bless 2. After You Comes the Flood 3. Breathe 4. Nowhere, Now Here 5. Far and Further 6. Sorrow 7. Parting 8. Meet Us Where the Night Ends 9. Funeral Song 10. Vanishing, Vanishing Maybe Check out the short film featuring the new track "After You Comes the Flood" below:

Filled in for a sick driver this morning at work.... today my bus passengers were subjected to Celtic Frost's Into the Pandemonium and Death Angel's Frolic Through the Park

I like my homage-kei to be either really subtle or REALLY blatant. Vajra? Boo they should've either leaned into more or less. Grieva's Tokage? Yes please give me more.

Bummer. (Hopefully just the Kiwamu affect and not something to do with worsening health)

I enjoyed the song too! Took some balls to come at the dude who had a movie made about his battle-rapping skills haha. I don't think I've actively listened to MGK before this song, but I like his flow on this one. (Though I agree Eminem's last decade+ of music has been boring....)

Wait, Nacht *was* on Spotify... and now it's not. And it will be again soon?? (I remember playing Nacht a lot last summer after you posted about it in the shoutbox...)

This is indeed great news!! Been way too long....

What's the over/under on 'amount of people that would even recognize that you were covering Mis†ake songs'? 5.5?

Acme Dezert (both have just their new albums)

Awesome live report! I have never had the nerve to venture to the lowest section of AREA as a similarly tall dude. (though I've never been to a show there that had 50% boys...) Amazing.

At first I thought maybe there was some connection because their mail-order flier(?) looked so much like Ren's always do.

I kinda like the song too! (other than the 'rapping') I just think the video is bad/very low budget and ripe for making fun of. If there were nothing redeeming about the song I wouldn't have listened to it enough times to critique the video haha.

Damn and I thought I had been into VK a long time. Welcome! So there are a lot of people here who go to lots of lives and are pretty much experts.... but if you want the perspective from an American dude who doesn't speak Japanese and is sure he's doing it wrong feel free to drop me a line haha, so far no one has yelled at me for doing something wrong at VK show.

RIght? Pretty big time considering they'be been around like a year(?) Their live show was tons of fun though, I get it.
