New song rules! Can't wait for the album!

Oh wow, they're releasing an actual album! Hoping there's a fair share of new songs on it!

They're bringing PLUNKLOCK back because the band wanted to tour Europe again. I'm not really happy about this, I don't think people will rush to see the same band twice over such a short period of time. But bringing a more popular band is no easy job, it's costing them a lot of money as it is. I don't think they can afford it. So at the moment, it's either indie bands or nothing at all. And about Orochi, they were voted to come back by the European fans, so technically it wasn't the promoter's decision. We had the chance to see some great bands, but no, people still wanted to see Orochi. They probably didn't even bother to check out the other bands in the poll. Seems the EU fans do want more of the same after all.

Awesome news! I'm sure it's gonna be great, they never disappoint!

So they end up disbanding again, nice. Can't even say I'm surprised anymore.

This is so exciting! And the cover art is really pretty!

I'll try going to Budapest, I can't even imagine missing a lloy concert seeing how it's so close to my country

Has anyone heard the album? If so, what did you think of it? The Birthday Massacre is my favorite band and I think they really topped themselves again with this release. Very captivating and beautiful start to finish. I though it balanced their fun poppy side with their otherworldly and ethereal side pretty well. A very dark album thematically, for sure. Favorite song overall is definitely "Play With Fire".

Oh, I see, that's good news, I hope we'll get to hear it soon, his last album was way back in 2007 if I remember correctly. I listened to all 3 of his albums, but I kinda lost track of him lately. So he had a "new" single, I'm gonna have to go hunt for that. And thanks!

Ohh, I like this thread! I like Seo Taiji and Kim Sa Rang too, I remember he made some buzz with his first album, but I don't know what happened afterwards, he does seem pretty overlooked today. Here are some of my favorite Korean bands at the moment: The Pony (포니) - They started off as alternative/indie rock but they went into a more new wave influenced direction on their latest EP. NfRVrw4pQW8 GOGOSTAR - They call their style disco punk and they're probably one of the most unique bands in South Korea right now, both in terms of sound and image. FNGXiYvsp4M Glen Check - Insanely catchy indie electro-pop with perfect English vocals. 2r4UnHQzGVg Eloise (엘루이즈) - So far they've only released one EP, but I really like their music, hoping to hear more from them! pjFUBABiqls Aaaand I think that's enough for now.

Looking forward! Their stuff is always good, I'm sure they'll deliver.

I went a bit WTF as well at that sample, but it doesn't sound that bad after all, it does sound a bit like ADAPTER. Depending on what they do with the rest of the song, it can go either horribly wrong or surprisingly interesting.

Finally something new from these guys, hope it'll be good. The second song kinda sounds like ZORO, quite an interesting change in their sound.

Great news! Still, November's so far away

I think it's mostly the visuals and the glamour of it all. If someone was almost exclusively into VK bands, who mostly play rock music, then the logical step for them to take if they wanted to try some Korean music would be Korean rock bands. But most Kpop fans entirely ignore any form of rock coming from Korea, yet some of them continue listening to VK because they "also like rock music". Ok, so why not K-Rock then? Maybe because they actually like "Asian pretty boy music" and the rest are just excuses and rationalizations for their superficiality. Of course I think it's fine to listen to Kpop and whatever you want if you actually do like plenty of different music, it's understandable that people enjoy a variety of music and genres. Kpop is fun music, I myself don't like it, but it's pretty easy to like, that's for sure. But obsessing only over VK and Kpop and ignoring everything else is pretty telling of having 0 interest in the music itself.

Hopefully they'll release something new soon, it's been a while since "devil's moment".

Good! Now where's that album?

Another sad disbandment this year after Psysalia for me One of the best VK bands around IMO. Curious about the new album though.

Great news, can't wait to hear it!

What?? This must be a joke, I hope it's a joke! Came out of left field too. Seriously disappointing.
