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.

@nekkichiand @Carmelzors- let's not derail the thread any longer with your lover's quarrel. ; )

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.

There is no commanding someone elses' taste, however. There is a lot more to it than just being unable to find bands that musically appeal to these people (myself included). I always read how others say that bands cannot be compared (and truly, they cannot), yet there is always a persisting feeling present that inherently compares a listening experience to previous and past ones. For me personally, something in me cannot recreate the same emotional attachment when we place, say... Gossip-ゴシップ- (whom I adore) and Lareine (whom I of course, also adore) next to one another. They are completely different bands and I hold both in high regard, but something within me cannot reach as far toward Gossip-ゴシップ- as I do to Lareine. The music industry is ever changing and therefore people's perspective on music is also changing. I feel that my connections to current bands (especially in Visual kei, because of the unstability in the scene in general) are a lot more shallow and insincere. I cannot connect to the music or the faces behind the music all that much anymore and I feel like my favourite musicians are simply set in stone, without much room to let new names in. Incidentially, these names are all from twenty or thirty years in the past, and I sorely miss their presence. While there are some new names I enjoy, they just cannot live up to what I experienced while discovering bands that are long gone but left a much greater impact.

This is exactly what I wish for my Death metal to sound like. And as the artwork implies, it sounds like it's recorded in a stalagmite cave, or simply somewhere dark and cold. It has just the right amount of technicalities to a point where it doesn't sound like the band are simply try-hards or attempting to show off purely to boast their 'awesome' guitarwork. I've yet to listen to the full album and only heard this track just now, but I'm just so eager to listen to it straight away. 
 

R指定 (R-Shitei) will release their new mini-album "日本アブノーマル協会 (Nihon Abnormal Kyoukai)" on 2017/04/05. More details TBA. In addition, they will hold a one-man tour from 2017/04/06 to 2017/05/19

Why do people who can't sing insist on being vocalists?!

Sounds pretty cool so far.

How did I not find out about this earlier? xD. I mean, as a huge GossiP fan, I thought I would have found out about this. Then again, where I live is comparable to living under a rock.
I actually really liked their last single too! Especially the look that came with it. Peaked Caps are just yus. Also, it seems as if Saku has gotten really good at his growls. I remember in JyuLie, his screams and growls were pretty crappy, but when GossiP began, he really improved. I really liked the heavy feel that Tenjotenge Yuigadokushou had, and the Punk rock vibes that Aa, Chuunigakusei gave. I mean, GossiP has always given off Punk vibes, but it was always Hardcore Punk vibes, or Emotive Hardcore/Screamo in the case of R-18. 
Also, haha for the shade throwing at me, @nekkichi. Very funny. Like omg, I'm so triggered over that. Next time, just mention my name and be brave, won't you please? Throw shade at me to my face like a man, daddy~. It won't ruin my day. I'm not gonna say anything back, because this is not the place, or the time. 
I'm not trying to start an argument here, because I hate arguing.  I just authentically want you to say whatever you have to say about me to my face.  Seriously, just message me, because this is honestly not the place to be even worrying about this, so inbox me please
