It sounds like it was recorded in a single take in their bathroom ... Speaking of bad vocals, the vocalist of Lebens Ende, whom they're having the two-man with is probably the laziest sounding vocalist I've EVER HEARD! The dude has a cool look and their logo looks rad, but goddam is that awful.

ORCALADE

Yeah, I'm 99% sure it was kaname. I'm too lazy to dig up their CDs to find out, but I do remember it being him.

These guys may be one of my favorite newcomers to the scene.

For some reason, I've always dug the (fake) dread style. Aggy from DELUHI Ruki from The GazettE

It's been quite a while since they've put out new music. I want more!

Oh, I'm not disregarding them all together. I just think that his voice is not quite in my wheelhouse at the moment. He's young, the band is young, and they're all going through changes, so I'll keep tabs on them for sure.

I'm glad I could bump my boys into all those categories! I'm surprised I didn't see DADAROMA in anything, though.

This design just doesn't do it for me for some reason. Like, why make a frame around a design and then put it on a piece of clothing?

The ED theme to that show is great, but the imagery does NOT fit the mood of the show and makes me cringe. I actually didn't notice it was MIYAVI until after watching the second episode today. I tend not to WATCH OP/EDs because they usually are lurid with spoilers for the series.

I'd rather not since it messes with the binding and all. There's literally nothing in the book other than the lyrics, though.

It's only the kanji since I had to transcribe it character by character. If others want to submit romaji or a translation, I'd be glad to update the post, but as of right now, I'm not really looking to do that.

I've transcribed the lyrics in kanji, but if somebody's willing to translate/romanize, I'll gladly update. All spacing is a replication of how it is printed in the liner notes. 2. ESCAPE 3. Natural Born Killer 4. Return of the Curse 5. DESTINATION 6. LOVER 8. EGOIST 9. M.F.JAP 9. 怠惰の罪 10. HERO=MURDERER

But are they dead or alive?

I'm sure the girls in the back didn't come for FED, but for the love of god, you're at a live show. Move a little! I've never been to a live show were I didn't at least nod to the beat of the opening bands.

I see they're playing two dates per venue, but these places aren't that big. DROP is tiny and Route Fourteen isn't really any bigger. I would have figured FED would be filling larger venues ...

Okay, I'll try and get that done today and tomorrow. I'll post it in the lyrics section of the forum.

Shattered Tranquility wrote a rather vapid live review for their Revival and Destruction live. Among the discrepancies include them listing "aishite kudasai" as a song from their mini-album, but at least they state that Ray sings in "Return of the Curse."

So I'm still not sure what I think of this release. I really wasn't super thrilled with their works before as I think there's a lot of work to be done with the vocals, but this just isn't sitting right with me. He sounds a bit like Kyoutarou from √eight/Black:List/COCKROACH. It's scratchy and his high notes aren't quite there. The growls are all a bit flat sounding on this release. I don't know, I guess I'm not really talking to the right people, but I still don't see what the allure is with this band. I love Ryuya, he's a chill dude, but I'm just not feeling this band quite yet.

If you have a .wav for Mercy Rain, would you be willing to share?

Thanks @Kathy! Were there any other songs distributed this way??

This isn't new ... this has been their look since Ajna-SgVer-.

Maybe a re-write of sicks? Although honestly I hope not. I think their sound has far surpassed that by now.

Ricko screamed the candles out! I can't stop laughing!!!
