少女椿

A new band, called Də'mëŋ†ɪa Ṃa:liϧ, formed recently consisting of vocalist 「XXX」 and keytarist 『xxx』.
While there isn't much known about them at this point, they did announce their first release.
 
PROLOGUE~Shuukyouteki na Mousou~ (プロローグ~宗教的な妄想~) is set to be released on April 16th.
 

 
Both the design of the cover and its medium (demotape) suggest
that we can expect an interesting addition to the new wave of bands that bring back the spirit of 90s visual kei.

Then the majority of their income comes from their job as a physics professor or as a host, I reckon. 
 
This horse has been beaten to death on this forum. When children are starving and people are being droned and shot all over the world with the compliance or the guns of the governments most of us belong to, then even considering to pose downloading music as an ethical question is stupid and embarrassing. There's no reason for anyone here to care, those who download will dl and those who won't won't. I stream bands on spotify when they are there, I bought Anfiel's second album digital because i liked them back then, I wouldn't pay a buck for david if it's able for purchase online because I think they suck, but I'll still dl it to know what it's about — everyone else will continue to do more or less the same unless they have a mental disorder where they live vicariously through their fave bandmen. 

It's a grey area for me. On the one hand, it's way easier to chuck $2.58 at a single on iTunes than it is to spend $30 to have it physically imported from CDJ. But at the same time, sometimes record deals fall through or the band splits and then their material is gone from streaming services. 
 
For example, GE+IM's digital single is now gone, and all of UnsraW's materially used to be streamable, but that got removed a few months ago.
 
Unfortunately, being available digitally comes with an asterisk that says *(for now)

Absolutely love, because yes, AESTHETIC.
I was trying to explain my love for 90s vkei demo tapes and it ended up with conclusion that the main point of this love is nostalgic vibes. 

I'm talking either awful mixing because someone is a shit engineer or the kote kei kind where they deliberately make something sound like it's from the 90's when music production in VK was bare bones like La'veil MizeriA (might not count since Starwave record songs in an empty tunnel or something) or Crucifixion and the Matina label who did such a thing deliberately as it's a part of the aesthetic. I personally have times where I really like it and times when it's unlistenable compared to more well produced bands.

After AC disbandment Karma gets much less attention, and it's sad to see gaijins seeing nothing but nazi context of his new look instead of tweet something cheerful, as japanese fans always do...
 
 

we're in the middle of a global pandemic and twitter ''activists'' still have the time to get mad over a fucking hat? amazing

the boy slit his wrists live, i don’t think he’s really gonna give a shit if a couple of gaijin are using google translate to tell him his hat is Bad ™️

The band with the 90's gimmick has the 90's and japanese rock 'n roll as a reference point so when the spread of white nationalism obviously wasn't his intent, then all Karma is guilty of is just not reading The Symbolic Gestures of White People on Twitter memo that was sent being to everyone irregardless of their culture and nationality.  I'm not saying that we can't be cognizant of the fact that it's dodgy and ignorant of the feelings of people halfway across the world, but looking at this shit on twitter I thought it's over my dead body that these morons start policing vk.  

I don't mind it. I like the idea sort uhh yeah. Not their best tho. 
 
By the way thank fucking christ by the way these pig gaijins on twitter don't realise that he dun' speak no english, 'cause if he did, I'd be embarrassed. When did these people start listening to vk? Karma is obviously going for some old Japanese rock aesthetic with the hat and the song and the rest of it, so sorry if the rest of the world doesn't give a shit about what some Americans and Europeans on their white man's burden quest of civilising the world think about their hats.
