The instruments are very muddy, but I like the vocalist's tone.

Nice! I'm glad they're making this one more readily available than Hellraiser was.

I'm looking forward to see with who the guys will play in a couple of months, since their sound doesn't really fit any visual kei event... 

Given the guitarist openly writes/wrote music for HOWL and unite, I'm going to guess them.

I have Dimension and Into the Great Beyond and they were standard and pretty unremarkable metalcore at the time. If they give their current flare to the older songs, it may be a decent release, but otherwise, I'm not terribly thrilled for this kind of re-recording.

This sounds like a song used for a commercial for an online university.

Those sandals ... Hazuki looks like he just stepped out to get the mail and then they asked him to record a music video.

Meh ... that guitar solo was just noise. It's not a bad song (pretty mediocre-core), but knowing how childish Hiro has been about the band, I don't know if I can support him anymore in good conscious.

Facing the worst-ever situation in its history with the departure of its members 2 years ago and last year’s “incident”, Nocturnal Bloodlust came under strict scrutiny even from fans.

The most scrutiny they faced was self-induced when they made a diss-track ...

Shame that he didn't bring such an amount of energy to the album.

I don't think he had any input into the album, given most, if not all of the music was written before he joined. The dude's been doing covers and drum play-through videos on his twitter for ages and he slays them skins.

This band needs more fans.

When Tsunehito (ex-SCISSOR, D bassist) was in +ISOLATION (Tomozo's Sequence Records pet project session band thing), he had an eyepatch.

Develop One's Faculties' drummer Johannes always has one eye covered with a contraption of his making. Does that count?

In the beginning of UnsraW's career, vocalist Yuuki wore a patch often.

They spend more time recording covers and snubbing Hiroto than they do promoting and writing their own music.

Shinya has joined the band as their official drummer. (Was a drummer for some tokyo deathcore band called inception of genocide but otherwise cant find anything else on him besides him being slothreat support drummer for the past year or so)

Full length album will be release this september.

TIL Inception of Genocide disbanded back in 2018 ... no wonder they haven't released anything lately. Shinya slays and I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he played drums for Nocturnal Bloodlust before they went visual as a session drummer.

So the vocalist can actually sing ... and TP (the dude on the left who looks like that guy from Watch Dogs) apparently ghost-writes music for Unite and HOWL and used to go by 太志 (Taishi)‏.

The dude on the left took PPE to the next level ... and then forgot how to tie his shoes.

I started watching Barry on the recommendation of my roommate. Starring Bill Hader, the narrative follows Barry, an assassin that decides to take up acting when he finds one of his hits is taking an acting class taught by Henry Winkler. The premise is ridiculous, but it works and is far more real than it is funny. The acting is on-point and the show legitimately made me laugh, cry, and wince in fear. There's a lot to be said about PTSD from war veterans as well as some of the unethical methods in acting. Tons of trigger warnings, though. Still, I highly recommend it and I've only just finished the first season.

can anyone download this in decent quality and share it? 

I do belive @platy was working on it?

DADAROMA will be streaming their ONE MAN live that was supposed to happen back on April 14th, but will be a no-audience live-stream on May 20th on YouTube.

It would have considering the current situation. But since the encore was going to be the bonus at each oneman this month it was probably too late to include it on the already edited, printed and produced DVD. 

And probably wouldn't have even been included at all when the DVD inevitably went up for purchase on their store.

...although I can't seem to find it yet.

"ex.KYOKUTOU GIRL FRIEND
ロフトはJAPANESE ROCKの中心だからね、ど真ん中だよ。 この国に生まれてバンドマンを志したなら、目指すべきステージなんだよ。頑張って辿り着くべきステージだよ。 これからも、ずっと未来も、 ロックを志す少年少女たちが目指す、憧れの市松模様が新宿にあり続けますように。
＜林田倫堕、ケッチ、サリー、亜門＞"

He pretty much said that Loft was the place that aspiring bandmen hoped to play and hoped that in the future as they were the center of Japanese rock and that he hoped Shinjuku would desire for the checkered pattern [their stage floor].

Yeah, only involved in the production of Oni (oficially, they joined the band last year). Seiya and Hiroto left shortly after Kaika was released.

And I would say they had little input, if any at all, on the song-writing. Most of the album had been released before on Kaika and an omnibus, as well as been played live for a while before Kaika or Oni, and even the new songs are credited to Keisuke for writing the music and lyrics. The rest are all Keisuke and Seiya, even though he wasn't in the band at the time of Oni's release. If we're going by credits alone, the only other person credited Oni is actually Ryo (from Gilgamesh) who composed all the instrumental tracks.

Damn, they sound incredible live 😮

Can confirm. They're one of the best live bands I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot. RIcko is always on key, they have such good chemistry with each other and their energy is always on point.

Crystal Lake have announced a single with two new tracks. Physical versions in Japan will also feature a DVD with live footage from their set at Resurrection Fest in Spain last year. The single is set to release digitally world-wide and in-stores domestically on July 8th.
