I've waited so long for 'knight' to return.. now he pulls this.. this... gah! I hope Jun and the others will be able to find a decent replacement.

because there's enough demand for it + they're going to do in stores for it which means that their few hardcore fans will buy multiple copies regardless. but that doesn't quite mean that they're getting to be even close to popular. they're a baby band and there's mild interest and that's nice but popular probably isn't the word I'd use, is all
 
as for Nagoya--plenty of bands go there regularly. Even if there aren't many bands stationed there they get lives all the time from Osaka and Tokyo bands alike so I'd say there's still a high amount of competition...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'd take グリーヴァ over Dir en grey at any given day.

except that........ they really don't
 
i think they resemble valluna more.

Mr.unknown will resume activities at their live at Hiroshima NAMIKI JUNCTION at 2015/07/03

Eros/ice never had solid highs but his growls have always been among the best in visual kei.

echoing what ender-ender and rocketeer have said above..
i don't intend to change your mind (nor can i), but it's difficult for me to agree with how emotional attachment to the band or musicians behind the music is somehow a residue of childhood we must banish or the emblem of adolescent naivety that we all ought to eventually grow out of. ok fine, flesh and soundwaves are different things; but psychologically they aren't as separable as two disparate words on paper. after all music doesn't just fall off a tree - especially the sort of music that resonates with one on an extremely intimate level, and which profoundly affects him/her for a long time (maybe even the rest of their lives). it seems obviously logical then, at least in one's mind, to feel like the musician can speak to you (or a part of yourself) in a way that your parents or closest friends or the person physically beside you never could and never will. i should also add that lots of people i know capable of this experience lead perfectly normal and well-adjusted lives without the tiniest bit of delusional fantasies about the musicians themselves.
if anything, i've always felt that any dogged insistence on uncoupling music from the people who made it is precisely the kind of thought that drives some people to happily decide that the music is all they care about, as a result of which they couldn't care less about supporting the musicians behind it since these 'strangers' are so remote and divorced from their emotional investment anyway.
speaking for myself, i definitely enjoy the company of fans who are more intense (i.e. 'insane') about musicians whom they don't know in person but who means a great deal to them - and no, i see nothing 'weak' about that - over those who discuss bands and music matter-of-factly with a straight face as if they are being interviewed for their professional opinion on global warming. this latter group of people gets me terribly tetchy and over time i find it tiring to associate with them. i guess if you really want to you could call emotional attachment to the bands irrational, but for me this kind of irrationality is a lot more humanly valuable than the 'stoicism' you demand of people as if grieving a disbandment is somehow a betrayal of our own intelligence. because we are more than that.

not expecting much from these guys but cool to see Robin Kampf Alfread's vocalist is still around.

For the same reason as pulling off practical jokes on strangers, then trying to use 'Chill dude it was a joke' to save your butt, you can't just make fun of someone like that.
Unless obviously and clearly specified, making fun of others/bands/toaster brand of coice or whatever, is mean and unnecessary.
 
And no I don't herd around words, never heard of that before.
 
If you got more to say, throw me a private message so we wont fill out this thread with nonsense.

It really irks me when people judge why someone is attached to a band. Everyone likes them for different reasons. Stop thinking your taste is better than someone else's. News flash: It's not.
 
You don't get attached to bands and the music they create? Good for you. But when I love a band and find something special about their music, for whatever reason I deem fit, it's sad to know I'll never hear new music from that group again. Not in the same way it was created by that line up. Yes, we all know indies bands have a high likelihood of breaking up but that doesn't mean people shouldn't support them and believe in what they are doing. I actually find it sad how cold and detached some people can be. 

EROS <3 Finally they sound decent, grabbing this for sure.

Secretly hoping they pull off a modern version of what Piero Manzoni did.

I'd rather have them take their time, than rush anything.
 
Whatever it takes for Akane to stay within the scene, and not push himself beyond his limits.

I don't see how it makes sense to accuse someone who was recently under care for a serious disorder which ruins lives slacking for not rushing out a single for five people to buy and everyone else to download. I don't believe musicians are slaves giving their health away for the amusement of a moderate fanbase.
Despite that they have a healthy live schedule, still entertaining their fans, and what has been released is certainly understandable as it takes much less work then putting together and releasing something up to par with their two last singles.
They also do not have a solidified record label anymore. DC still lists them in some cases, although they have not been officially working with them and there is no info that I have seen on what label / manager they will be working with on their next official release. People might criticize DC, but it is a lose-lose for them, as they either have to seperate from a group they put a lot into, or continue supporting D.I.D. and taking the burden and blame for any health issues he may again come across, as thy would take responsibility for making and or allowing him to continue the busy stressful life of a musician.
Also, besides production and release issues (they can't produce or distribute the same quality as their previous releases by themselves), thy either still have Pablo from PTP on board, and want this to be a big release to not only make their comeback but use his popularity to push off of, or they don't have him on board and need to re-do the composition and figure out how to create a worthwhile sound without the same band set-up and minus a major contributor to their song writing.
Just my two cents.

VIRULENT live-distributed single "Blue" will be released at their live in 2015/04, and their 4 live-distributed singles (titles not yet finalized) will be released at their live in 2015/05-08 respectively
 

Understand what you mean, but as with both Scenes From Hell and In Somniphobia the guitars and riffs isn't exactly in the focus here. But a good rip/physical release might give everything a facelift.
 
Anyway, the riffs sounds like something from Hangman's Hymn. Very thrashy and cool.

Um... no. A single is qualified over here as 1-2 songs. Maxi single being 3-4. So an EP (Extended Play) means it will have more songs than a single... this means typically 4-8 songs is the standard. The problem is people use the label EP incorrectly and often. 

Other than that, pretty excited for his.

I was at their live at ikebukuro edge 2 days ago and it was amazing. He was like a completely different person in terms of stage acting compared to before his hiatus from the band. He was in full controll of his voice as well compared to the other time. They even played Nihilism at the show and Paradox. And he looked a lot happier than the last time. Still there wasn't a second guitarist on stage and they still couldnt play paranoid personality because of that very reason but i think they are far off from disbanding from what i've seen now.

Minus Jin-Say Orchestra's 未来予想図X, 桜ヶ丘流星群 and 少女Cyborg.
All of them are pretty difficult to find so when they were all up on pure sound I took the opportunity to grab them all.
