We've already discussed this a million times. 

Great to have you back!

It's your old pal from Sweden, we lost touch around the time Skype usage died off I think. 

Welcome~ 

I'm sure you will fit right in here!

Most people here like the old school kvlt stuff.

Well hmmm. I'm just happy to see a one-day revival =O. Reminiscence, the single version, was always a favorite of mine. I still remember playing guilt trip, where Jin screams like a maniac at the end, in my car to freak people out.

Reminiscence has that great line  "I believe that you are white". 

That's what I remember the most about it to be honest. 

Welcome!

I like your profile pic, looks a bit like Toda from Shinjuku Gewalt, haha.

So just a La'mule session band? That's sad... gladly the rest of the lineup is good

Seeing Isuke do something is really cool though, he wrote most of their music and didn't do anything of note after the band.

Track three is basically a chuuzetsu by kuroyume homage.

It feels like it lifts some elements from Dir's Zan and the okashii part from autism as well.

Looking forward to this album, sounds great so far.

Awful look and new song promised to sound like one ok rock or new Dezert?

Didn't think I'd say this about the band who made the best single of the year, but, my expectations are close to zero for the album.

Not sure what happened but maybe the momentum died with the two guys who left/was forced out. 

April 2009

It's not the actual band, it's a session. The vocalist is Juri from Deluhi.

The total tax increase over the past 5 years is only a few percent from 5 to 8 and then to 10 last month I believe, so that cant explain a hike from 1200 to 1600. I'm guessing other additional charges and falling sales explain the higher prices.

Just reform WERKMARE already, none of his subsequent bands were anything to write home about. Good work on the self-cover.

As far as I remember, black rain is a reference to the atomic bombings of Japan, apparently it rained black rain for several days afterwards. I saw remnants of black rain on a wall at the memorial museum in Hiroshima.

Not saying it couldn't be a reference to something else though, but that's at least one interpretation. 

It's becoming harder and harder to love this band for every new page of this thread. Leaving VK, whining, programming instruments instead of finding replacement members...

I proclaimed them saviours of VK some time ago, now I'm wondering if they will last the year.

How things can change.

Ay, I was so mad I missed that! I literally found out that it was happening a day after..... 😭😭

You're from Poland? If so, I'm in the planning stages for a second event in November, I can keep you posted! 

From when I hosted my VK club in Warsaw, Poland in July. 

I absolutely love their enthusiasm for overseas fans and the fact they seem to know, acknowledge and be thrilled about MH users in general.

The music was good too, too early to judge them as a band before any proper releases are out but I enjoy the style they're doing.

Excellent, looking forward to seeing how they perform in this format.

Lots of good selections here.

I'd like to add Phantasmagoria - Kami Uta, I think it was even frequently done as an end session in under code events and similar things.

tbh it's really not that bad of an idea to crowd fund releases or events, so long as they come through and actually happen. In this case, he's also bringing a team of people with him and isn't going to be sleeping on Whirling Black's couch (I think?) and that's pretty expensive. On top of that, it seems like he's organizing this on his own and isn't relying on some glue-sniffing promoter to fuck up the day of 

Hey, I live in Sweden, that would be pretty inconvenient if he's playing in France. 

Girugamesh played Omae ni Sasageru Minikui Koe twice during their last live. Two and a half times even since they had to restart the second time.

It might not be commonplace in the scene as a whole, but it happens. Especially with newer bands before they have enough material to fill the setlist, repeating their most popular track(s) in the encore is not rare. Look through various setlists for bands first oneman shows if you want.

Också svensk här! Visserligen har den här tråden inte uppdaterats på ett år, men gör ett försök. Någon som fortfarande är kvar? 😊

Jodå, vi är några som är här! Men vi känner varandra IRL nu så vi använder inte tråden så mycket, haha. Var i Sverige är du ifrån?

From my experience both IRL and online, here are some quick observations based from my own perspective.

Male fans tend to be more deeply into the music and as many bands as possible. Most walking Wikipedias of VK (myself included) are male, I find.

Female fans are the absolute majority and the span of kinds is much wider there, but I generally don't tend to find as many die-hards when it comes to general scene knowledge as when it comes to the male fans, but rather often specialized highly on one particular band, or just a casual fan. 

Most major collectors of physical media tend to be male as well. Except for cheki, most male fans I know don't care for those.
