Living for Bidoh's pants.

I saw them once in 2005 or 2006, I think — might attempt to grab a ticket for their last show in Amsterdam, if only for going down that nostalgia lane. I think they improved greatly from 2007 and upward, I have definitely enjoyed and played Venus Doom and Screamworks an agitating amount of times. Truly disappointed and sad that they are calling it quits because they seemed like one of those eternal bands that would simply stay around until the end of time, but 26 years is quite an achievement nonetheless.

Always nice to read your ever so positive insight on others' tastes in here, Bear.

This is about as crunchy as death / doom can get. Comes from an amazing album, never heard of this band until now but I am so honestly glad that I discovered them.

Definitely not. I suppose we are all still anxiously waiting for someone to upload it... No pressure, though.

In general, my family is quite tame on Facebook — with the exception of my Mother's sisters. I believe I am only befriended with one of them, because most will attempt to unveil your 'hidden agenda' from any small thing you post. They are always fighting over supposed incidents on Facebook because of the unnerving unending suspicion they seek behind every update. If one has lunch with another, the others who were not present will begin to comment with snarky remarks and push their ego until they get noticed. It is honestly tiring.

I am only watching Onihei and ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka when you consider new shows and not sequels, both are very good. The rest is... the usual (harems, school settings, ecchi).

People who unfriend you over your voting choice on a political election. Oh, the ease of Facebook's anonymity and the safety behind a computer screen.

umbrella will release their fifth single 'Frontier", on May 17th. 01. Frontier 02. ハイキ 03. スロウレイン

So they re-recorded 終焉のカンパネラ and War of the Dead paradise. Although 終焉のカンパネラ did not quite need the change, it is still a very good choice on the latter, thank heavens, as on the live-distributed single's version it seemed as if they were recording the drums on tin cans. The mixing seems off as the volume changes quite significantly between songs, might just be the Youtube video's rendering though. Regardless, still looking forward to this very much.

I have been thoroughly enjoying the Italian Human's new album "Contemplating Soliloquy", and I was wondering if anyone has come across any similarly sounding releases from this year yet. I am most definitely interested in listening to more technical and/or progressive death metal albums as this one and Sunless's "Urraca" are great contenders for yearly lists thus far.

Because it is a popular thing to do so here, similar to how it is a popularity matter to disparage Yoshiki or Kisaki (actually, insert any commonly demeaned Japanese artist here - it is the same thing). Their album nearly made it to my favourites of last year, they are an incredible amount of fun, and this song makes me eager to hear their new releases in full.

Just some advertising for my friends' Black metal band who have their new album coming out in April this year.

I watch a lot of dog-related (rehabilitation) television shows and with small dogs it's almost always the case that they're being handled like small children and people forget that they are dogs. People stuff their dogs in clothes, carry them everywhere, allow them on the furniture and speak to them as if they were infants. Of course a dog will grow anxious when they aren't provided with mind-stimulating goals, such as learning commands or learning what is and what is not appropriate behaviour. Their 'mommies' understimulate their brains and their only instinct is to protect these said 'mommies' because everything else in their natural behaviour is surpressed. Which is why some of them become aggressive and snap at everything in reach. My aunt is an example, she has a Shih Tzu and she treats him like a child, what happens is that the otherwise intelligent dog does not know any commands, will not listen at all and jumps on the furniture and defacates in the house. I really do love her but she is just so unhelpful to the poor dog. We're lucky that he doesn't bite or snap at anyone because of this, but it could have very well been the case. It's so unaccomodating that especially small dogs are essentially being seen as 'fashion items' nowadays, because how many people do you see with Chihuahuas who have grown out to be demonic little monsters, simply because the owner has no idea how to handle the dog? I feel like everyone should take some sort of test to prove that they can be a responsible owner, that would be a much better improvement than to simply blame everything on the dog.

My dog won't be able to walk outside without a muzzle anymore if this law is passed on 'aggressive dogs' in the Netherlands, simply because she is a Boxer and falls in the category of potentially aggressive. Supposedly this is to 'protect people'. She would end up with a muzzle because she was harmed by people and still doesn't trust them, especially men. We rescued her from France where she was left abandoned at a campsite, almost starving to death and protecting herself from the humans who had beaten and abused her to a point where she would even assist these criminals with break-ins and other crimes. My Father spent months rehabilitating her, we're about six years ahead in time now and she is still apprehensive toward strangers but very much a sweet and loving dog who wouldn't harm a fly if she had the chance. She is gentle with children (after getting to know them, before that she is simply withdrawn and suspicious), gentle and curious toward smaller animals such as rabbits or guinea pigs, and very accepting of touch and play. This 'vicious' animal will be restrained against those who harmed her, so she can not harm them back and protect herself and the ones she wants to protect. Who should actually wear the muzzle here? I find it absolutely absurd that this law is even considered, especially when you consider that any breed can be brought up aggressive, Labradors, Chihuahuas, Jack Russells and every other breed equally so. Restrain the real perpetrators here, not the victims of vile human beings. The only solution to end aggression in dogs is to put an end to irresponsible breeders and owners.

Oh yes, this looks and sounds exactly like early ネガ. Let the reminiscing begin...

The band have revealed their new look in commemoration of their 14th anniversary. The theme is 'Dark fairy tale'.

LACK-CO. are truly a lot better than the people who judged them from merely one song make them out to be. They are quite similar to Develop One's Faculties in their song structures and smart usage of jazzy elements. Very refreshing.

This sounds a great deal better than their previous two or three releases. I wasn't ready to give up hope on them yet.

It's not exactly about the music itself, but I am growing tired of the people who say that every band should go in a heavier (a.k.a. 'br00tal') direction. I believe the majority of the current bands already cannot exist without screaming vocalists — leave the clean-singing ones as they are, please.

New look. It looks like these support members (Ayato on guitar, Zaki on drums) could end up formally joining the band. Album cover and tracklist. 01. SE 02. 終焉のカンパネラ 03. PHANTOM FRONTIER 04. 業 05. 死華の涙 06. 殉愛の女神〜one's end persefone〜 07. ダンス・マカブラ 08. Requiem 09. W†SUISIDE 10. APOTHEOSIS 11. War of the Dead paradise 12. 輪廻転生〜Judgment day〜

The only thing I can think of is that the seller was not aware of what she offered up for snatching and that she hadn't checked out the price that it goes for. She didn't seem to know, so I didn't tell her. It was a good steal, if I must say so.

The most interesting piece of information I have regarding them is that I bought their single Isis...～愛園に微睡む魅惑の華～ for ¥500 while it goes for at least ¥10.000 at auctions, aha.
