Yonige, anyone? Been into this girls lately after getting their second demo last year. Bought their first mini album, Coming Spring that been release last week and been spinning it non-stop.
 

Ok, this is my first time listening to this band. Don’t know the history behind them, but I saw some hype surrounding them so I decided to check them out. 
 
I’ll get right to the point and say it left me very unimpressed. This a below average release.
 
First off the intro track is way too long. It isn’t interesting enough and is very stale, not much if anything changes over time. Should have scrapped this track or cut it down to under a minute. I did love the screams at the beginning though.
 
The next three songs have lots of problems. First the synth leads and electronic bits are way too overused. In some instances they’re used effectively, but during the main parts, they’re not melodic or interesting enough, or don’t have sufficient support from the rest of the instruments. Heretical Child is the prime example of this. If your'e going to rely on synth leads you better make them melodic and memorable. 
 
Another issue with that track is the transition into the chorus and the chorus itself which is really weak.
 
Jubaku is a slight improvement, but its still a below average track. The chorus is passable on this song, but the rest of the track is forgettable. It’s trying to be a heavy hitter, when in execution is comes across as a generic and a convoluted mess. Those “heavy” parts ruin whatever interesting ideas the track had going for it.
 
Black Lilly started off promising with the cool piano, creepy vocals, guitars and drudging bass lines and then the crappy synth leads and the band trying to be brutal ruined it.  Come on guys >.< this song had potential.  
 
Anaclisis. Ok, I actually like this song. It’s the only track the band got right when it comes to mixing the electronic and metal styles. The composition and build up of the song actually make sense. There aren’t any distracting electronic leads, the transitions are serviceable, the chorus is decent, and the band properly used a breakdown.  \m/  The only moment on this release when I went hell yeah and wanted to headbang. 
 
  The last track on this release is probably the best. It’s a ballad and it’s actually well done. Good emotional chorus, cool piano accompaniment, nice string sections, and mandatory emote solo. If only the rest of the of the songs on this release could have been held to this standard.
 
One last problem I have with this release is some of the guitars solos. Heretical Child has the worst solo I’ve heard in a while. Even the solo on  Anaclisis is not that good. It’s literally just a wah pedal that leads into sustained half/whole notes. It ends up sounding very boring, and emotionless. Which is strange because the solo on Jukai no Yubiwa is actually really good. I don’t know what’s up with the inconstancy but that needs to be fixed.
 
If 5/10 indicates a average run of the mill album, then I’m going to have give this release a 3.5/10.
 
 
Too many songs and pitfalls ruin it and the only 2 good tracks can’t make up for that. 
 
Things the band needs to get together
 
- Better electronic leads
- Know when to transition into heavy parts ( don’t just randomly throw the listener in and out.)
- Get better at combining the electronic and metal aspects. 
- Improve the guitar solos

Oh my, oh my, times to grab a beer....XD

Thanks for posting that Asian Chairshot video. I didn't realize they had a new release this month! I just happened to see it when I realized I didn't have the release with Mask Dance on it, and that was the song that turned me on to them in the first place. OTL Still, good tunes all around.
 

been interest in korean indies for quite some times and the best part about korean indies is that the bands do use bandcamp to promote and sell their music:)

PANIC in the BOX have planned to release a new digital song for 29th August.
More detail soon.

Pretty good 1st album by them,  been listening to it non stop

ready the cannons

DS is finally live! We're a bit exhausted at the moment as we've been finalizing a lot of things today in anticipation of the launch. So forgive me for not having much to say right now!
