Loudness

Lots of bands I enjoy. Awoi, The Kiddie, Boogieman, holding out hope for Stereo C.K... I haven't listened to their newest release yet. But I have followed Tora for too long to give up now.lol

1. BUCK-TICK - "形而上 流星 -metaform-"
2. Mudvayne - "Skrying"
3. D.I.D. - "invidia"
4. ギルガメッシュ - "patchwork"
5. The Winking Owl - "Orion"
6. 李玖哲 - "死結"
7. Pay money To my Pain - "Rain"
8. We Came As Romans - "Ghosts"
9. akissforjersey - "Marvin Gaye And How I Stole Myself"
10. Block B - Nice Day

Super hard to choose between girugamesh and PTP but patchwork brings back good feelings and Rain still hurts. My brain still doesn't accept K being gone.

Oh no! TAT I was not prepared for this. Gutted.

+1 to everything Jigsaw9 said. Life and Death is a great introduction to their music and I highly recommend you check them out if you liked the video.

It's over guys. We've moved onto pms. I won't go into anymore in this thread about that conflict.

As for the single, I'm really curious to see how major label suits them. But I can't imagine a huge change from the recent stuff.

I love that they made this video a huge throwback to their early releases.

I don't see why so many bands think that in order to be VK they have to have one member dressing like a doll, and one member must be wearing a mask.  That's like cookie-cutter VK now, and its not shocking at all.  Or different.  Perhaps different to those who are unfamiliar with VK, but that (to me) isn't what VK is about.

I have a small comment in reference to this. Because I've noticed, in Japanese music in general, and in Visual Kei as well, it's all about trends (Well, this is not just Japanese music now that I think about it). So one lolita and one masked member is a thing, just like how it seems song and album titles make the circles. Last year and this year I saw so many refereces to "End of the World/Owari no sekai/World's End". And now I've seen like 3 albums coming out in recently or the next couple of months all named "Supernova". I think while some people value being different, there's still a huge Japanese sentiment of 'following what everyone else is doing so you can be included'. A lot of these bands are simply trying to follow the formula that they believe works for the scene they want to be in. And I think VK has always had a lot of this, I remember there being a lot of bands that had similar looks to X Japan in their heyday, lots of bands who were called "Dir en grey clones" 10 years ago, ect. The popular styles now are just not as shock value oriented as they used to be, but lots of bands are just following what is popular.

I'm pretty new to them, "For Bored Dancers" was the first thing I've heard. By the sounds of the new song I'll probably enjoy the new album too.

Once Zess ate beans that tasted like shit, thinking, "what the dick?", so threw them at the cat cause he is such a crazy little bastard. After drycleaning vigorously, everything

You don't realize that when you go into all the genre talk, it's often out of nowhere and is not adding to your conversation. It's actually convoluting it and making you sound really pretentious and condescending like you know everything about music and you're blessing us all with your presence here. If you tried to stay on topic more, or make your own threads to talk -specifically- about genres, then you'd make a whole lot more friends. I'm trying not to just ignore your comments, because we actually seem to like a lot of the same bands and when you're not going into all of that, you have some really valid opinions on things. But all your lazer focus on genres, no matter what the original topic was, is really hard to deal with and distracting in normal conversations. We're just asking you to tone it down.

To spare the thread, if you want to talk about this more in depth, pm me. I'm civil. I promise.

I think Apocalyze is as good as every album they make , they are a band that moves around and cant stand still in one place doing the same stuff over and over again , their first ep was one of the best melodic deathcore released , for their first full album they tried something different by mixing Industrial and Melodic Metalcore , Zion was what a lot ppl call Trancecore , a mix of Metalcore and Trance , well Trancecore is in reality Freeform Hardcore a subgenre of techno and what they mean is Electronicore , but only now with Apocalyze they encompass what true Electronicore is . I hope theyre next release will also be in a new direction cause thats what i love from them , also Koie is the best shouting(grownling , shouting is what most ppl call growling , growling in reality is heard in death metal and it sounds lower) vocalist in japan , but he has an amazing clean voice as well so hope they do something that would show this part more as well .

Fixed that for you. Because really, you need to chill with shoving all of your labels down everyone else's throats, please. With all that taken out, you still made your point just fine ok.

I agreed, Apocalyze is a solid album. I don't understand why so many people hate on it. I don't think Ken is the best screamer in Japan, but he's definitely up there among the current modern vocalists in his scene. He could use more dynamics in his range. His lows are great, but his highs could use work, imo. His clean voice has come a long way since the first album. I think we'll be hearing his cleans more and more. 

Conception Complex

weird, it say sth like "Content not availible at the moment" in german for me. maybe it is only visible to north american IP adresses?

I guess. It's strange though, I would have never thought you could modify things like that on facebook. 

Anyway... I took a quick screencap for you just so you can see what I'm seeing, if you wanted.

I like a lot of those artists. Mucc, B-T, Meevs. ♥ Your Kpop's not all in my vein, but I'm rather fond of Jo Kwon.

1. Envy On The Coast - "Head First In The River"
2. MERRY - "日ノ出町、街角ツンデレラ?2番ホーム篇?"
3. Block B - "Movie's Over"
4. Peelander-Z - "O! Sha! Re!"
5. Sevendust - "Going Back To Cali" (LL Cool J Cover)
6. Dance Gavin Dance - "Swan Soup"
7. cinema staff - "salvage me"
8. Adam Lambert - "Sleepwalker"
9. BUCK-TICK - "愛しのロック・スター"
10. A Day To Remember - "Casablanca Sucked Anyways"

This time around was fairly mellow, but I enjoyed it more than a lot of the others so far. 

hmmn, that post seems to have dissapeared. it's neither on their facebook nor on their OHP anymore O.o

It's still there for me? o.O  Can you see this? https://www.facebook.com/crossfaithofficial/posts/768671566517065
