  2. Hello We are pain
    convolution -Welcome to hell-

  3. Finally a good new song from A9! 'Echo' is miles ahead of everything else in 'IDEAL'. curious about the backing vocal on that track, anyone knows who is she?

      But still, IDEAL over all is pretty solid.

  5. Also, new SHADOWS is KICKASS. FACT lives! totally deserves a review

  6. I  reallly don't understand some business pratices... I would purchase so many more songs if itunes didn't follow this dumbasfuck region lock shit... I refuse to go through all the hassle of creating a japanese account with bogus data just to be allowed to EXPEND money on music

      And still have to buy gift card, not to mention that they are much more expensive

  7. BAROQUE's kei solo work is so fucking brilliant. This dude single-handedly influenced SO MANY bands, his composition style was mimicked so many times, and sadly the western fanbase don't seem to think so highly of him... a shame

      @madygrain his solo is mostly a followup of baroque's Sug Life, which is undeniable his most sucessful work. Yeah, Akira and Ryo had their glory moments, but later baroque composition-wise and style direction is definitely all about kei. (Akira had a larger say on early baroque afaik, which was still influential as heck). Listen to Gakidou bridge, for example. From the top of my head, I can say bis, DoGinTHEPWO, EVE, DOPES, Canzel/UNiTE, xTRiPx, Called Plan, SuG, DIV, Downer, Purple Stone, auncia all have songs that draw inspiration from that structure. That goes without saying the dn'b baseline in vk songs, but that I kinda attribute to The Mad Capsule Markets or Dragon Ash. This is an interesting discussion, if I find time I'm thinking on writing a bit about this

      @chemicalpicturesI only listened to Unite/Cancel out of all of those. I will try them out just to see how it relates to Kei stuff. Thanks!

      @madygrainCheck out xTRiPx's clever noise (the r.i.p. version is my favorite!) and past<future, bis' Yasashi Kaze/Seasons (so many Ila. vibes) and color of mind or SuG's CRY OUT... those are all great songs, and nice examples too!

  8. CatfisT was a bloody good band. Criminally underrated.

      they always struck me as mini-gazette idk why

    3. Biopanda

      That was pretty much what I thought until I saw them live and found out they were extremely... not so good. I think that might have been around the time that their vocalist was sick or something, so maybe that had to do with it?

  9. Balalaika's Welcome to Hell is da bomb! great tune!

  10. A prize for anyone who can decipher what the hell Ryuga is shouting on Sel'm's S from 00:12 til 00:35, lol. what's with some vk bands that doesn't put the entire lyric of a song on the booklet?

  11. Any Stromae fans around? He uploaded his Racine Carrée full concert on youtube a while ago and it is absolutely MINDBLOWING:

      I think he's very talented. I'm proud of him as a Belgian. :grin:

  12. Pour up, drank, head shot, drank

    Pass out, drank, wake up, drank
    Faded, drank, faded, drank

  13. Tryyyy too Haaaard kaeruuuu koto no naiiii miiiiichi deeee

  14. GAGA was such a nice band. tohka pig squealing was on point, their two singles kicked ass... till this day I can't understand their disbandment =(

    1. tetsu_sama69

      tetsu_sama69

      Because this is visual kei and we can't have nice things

      @MihiI woke up today with that chorus on my mind. a fucking banger indeed!

       

      @tetsu_sama69lol, that pretty much sums it all up... vk is just like a ungrateful son, came to earth just to cause disappointment and to break our hearts

  15. Lolita23q's revival debut is a bit underwhelming... watered down guitars, strange sound engineering decisions, everything sounds so same-y... I miss the punch, the in your face feel you got from songs like lost minerva, B.I.O.S, HIKARI, Tenkyuu Symphonia... Yeah, they are kinda aiming for a different sound now that Sou is back, but there's no need to make the compositions simpler just because of that...

  16. How would you guys translate this section of GazettE's OMINOUS lyrics?

    忘れないで 心は死なない
    忘れないで そう 夢は逆夢

     

    I've seen so many different translations around...

      Don't forget

      Don't let your heart die

      Don't forget

      Dreams are not reality

       

      It's from the booklet of the EU edition of DOGMA

  17. alice nine's GEMINI 0, I and II are brilliant. Brilliant on Elementa Alchemica or Art of Life levels

    1. Spectralion

      Spectralion

      Art of Life is definitely amazing, but I still can't enjoy Yoshiki's piano solo :/

  18. New R-Shitei mini is good stuff!

  19. People should keep an eye on Black Sirene's Taro. One of the best newcomer vocalists on vk in such a long time. Seirēnes fuckin slays

  20. Strong contender for worst vkei song of the year: Chloe's Canaria. I'm speechless.

    1. Aferni

      Aferni

      AHAHAHA HE'S SINGING OVER MIDI IN AUTOTUNE...FUCKING LMAO

  21. Arlequin never managed to capture my attention for longer than one or two listenings, but Makka na Uso and Kageboushi are some pretty solid releases, specially those b-sides. good stuff!

  22. 最後の歌 is the best track on xaa-xaa's latest. probably the only one I'll spin again, tho.

  23. Wish DIAWOLF were more active. A9 hasn't been good in a while ( the breakdown on the end of 荊棘 is nice, tho)

    1. IGM_Oficial

      IGM_Oficial

      They announced a single last year... not even a release date until now

  24. cocklobin's the dark. so many chills, damnn

  25. sever black paranoia is criminally underrated. Their ELIZA album is really freaking good
