    There was a topic for Fixer? :o

    How did you like "ARBITER"? And yeah I have no idea why this topic just suddenly died shortly after "FIXER" started and before they even signed with "Starwave Records" in fact I'm really not sure why the discussion didn't pick up again right around then. :oro: But Now's as good a time as any to pick this topic back up with the release of "ARBITER".

     

    Edit: Wow! I just realized that this topic was last active two years before you even joined lol

     

    Edit 2: The last time this topic was active only their first two singles had been released. They have came a really long way since then. I guess people just forgot this topic existed, because I've seen plenty of people on here talking about "FIXER" for years.

    I remember sometime before the album came out, roughly late 2006 I would say, that there had been a of leak of 4-5 songs in pre-production quality through some form of security breach in their internal servers. Apparently only a small handful of people got their hands on it though, and I never did, so I can't say for certain and it was over ten years ago, but those are my recollections of what I heard at the time. I know that @Furik was around at Batsu at the same time so maybe he remembers something about it too? 

     

     

    Wow this is cool come on help us out @Furik and lj vets.

    How on Earth did this topic die!? FIXER are so good rn. ARBITER is the best single of 2018(so far of course).

    An here's how they look now:

    Anyway this Punk Nu metalish rock sound of this time is really brilliant I'm surprised bands with this sort of sound still don't exist today. "Ｖｉｓａｇｅ" , "パニックちゃんねる",  "ＬｕＬｕ", and  "Cuartet" are among some of the best vk bands I've ever heard. "螺旋錠 (La;Cen-zhow.)" are also very underrated.

    Ah @filth_y I was listening to some "Cuartet" and it reminded me of "Saki's" short lived "brutal kei" band "THE MAD SIMPSON" I think you were hyping them back in the day right? They're pretty badass though progressive metal, grindcore, kinda experimetal.  Are you familiar with them @VkBrutaliaN?

    I've been binge listening too "Ｖｉｓａｇｅ" and  "パニックちゃんねる"  all day and now I'm trying out "Cuartet", I can't believe I've never listened to any of these bands before.

    If we see 2003 as first bands and around 2005 as the real first wave, i think 2007/2008 the second startet maybe triggered after Diru's TMOAB and UROBOROS (i would do give Diru a lot of credit here but ultimately the western bands influencing them on the Family Values Tour 2006). Then i would even go so far and say the likes such as DIMLIM or Deviloof can be considered 3rd or 4th wave even, mainly Deviloof because they didnt come from a vk background? But i feel i start nitpicking.

    Yeah I think you maybe right it depends on how you break down your timelines but I prefer to only break music down by the decade and since the first bands started in 2003, I consider everything after 2010 "second wave". But like I said it depends on how you break your timelines down. Also your right about DEG although honestly I think you can trace their contribution to this sound all the way back to their "Nu metal" sound in "Six Ugly 2002".  It was right after "Six Ugly" that you started seeing bands like Awoi, √eight, SINCE1889, girugamesh, DEATHGAZE, and other bands of that sort emerge.

    I always thought the first wave of "heavier" vk and that inspired those as Origami, Golbeza, Re:dis etc. was around 2005-2006 with songs by Velvet Nightmare (later DI3SIRAE), Schmelz Cure, It, Since1889, 闇撫, THE RUDIE SATAN PARK, Leviathan and maybe even partly brodiaea or ネガ, followed by Silentline, GREGORY, GremlinS, UnsraW, THE CRIME, ヴェルテクス-Vertex-, etc. etc. etc. and the ones you mentioned plus maybe 20 other bands that disbaneded after 1 live distr. or even without any real CD.

    But i think they dont have much in common and are not related to the likes of DIMLIM, Deviloof, etc. who more have influence from western and real "brutal" music?

    Truthfully the real first wave began in 2003 which is why you can see 2003-2010 in the tags, with bands such as: Awoi, girugamesh, DEATHGAZE, SINCE1889(which stated in 2004), etc. and I agree with the information you mentioned here as well. Everything after 2010 I consider "Second wave" which is when bands began this electronic metalcore/deathcore sound. That's why bands such as DIMLIM, Deviloof, and JILUKA sound different; however, I definitely still think they were drawing off of and inspired by the 2003-2010 wave of "brutal kei" bands. 

     

    And bands of the 90's like Aliene Ma'riage, ∀NTI FEMINISM, and 妃阿甦(THE PIASS) can be considered precursors that inspired this sound.

    actually i am pretty certain (without sounding like a poser) i was the one who invented the term "brutal kei".

    since i used it since probably 2009 to describe the very first heavy wave of Vk bands which imo started around 2009 with bands such as Origami, Golbeza etc...

     

    also the video you are talking about, also from that link it was actually done by myself! ;D

    proof: scroll down to the 7th comment... it mentions "matsuya89" which was my name on yt before i changed everything to VkBrutaliaN.

    I thought so but I wasn't certain but I'll edit the op to reflect this lol
