    Synthwave bros & girls in the USA/Canada! If you have time make sure to check out my homeboy LAZERPUNK on one of his 30+ North American tour dates in September/October (supporting Aesthetic Perfection)! So proud of this guy finally having a proper live run overseas, he totally deserves it. Great dude with a total DIY attitude (and bangin' tracks).

    It's been a long time since I've seen him perform but as far as I remember he does a super energetic and killer live set.

     

     

    (Also, he's currently crowdfunding his first official music video, drop by here if you want to help out)

    Madeth gray'll is by far my favorite. Actually, except for them I can't really recall any other outstanding band, they all just kinda blend together for me (or I just haven't listened to them enough).

     

    Vice†risk and Mëbius were cool too, I guess.

    Thei full-length album "THE INITIAL IMPULSE" is now available digitally at a ton of places:

    Who knows, maybe there are some passable tunes on there... (update: guess not, lol. there's nothing remotely "crazy" or even "punk" about this based on the samples, just sad embarrassing how-do-you-do-fellow-kids rock)

     

    edit: haha, @The Piass beat me to it. :D

    If it’s common practice you’ll have no trouble citing several examples from the past year, right? It’s definitely not common in music; but among bad VK acts then maybe. 

    If I remember correctly, NICOLAS (ex-Gossip members' new band) or L'eveil en Roseraie did this for example, but I don't have the receipts. Actually back when I was in a band we did this a couple of times too with our most popular song, back when we didn't have enough tracks. It's not a super-common thing but it's not unheard of.

     

    Anyway, good to see they came prepared with an album's worth of tracks already. Regardless of the quality of the demo samples, I'm somewhat still curious to hear more.

    Mr. Bungle, the experimental rock band consisting of Mike Patton, Trey Spruance, and Trevor Dunn, are reuniting for their first shows in nearly two decades. What’s more, they’ll be performing their 1986 demo tape, The Raging Wrath Of The Easter Bunny, in full.

    Patton, Spruance, and Dunn will be joined by special guests Scott Ian (Anthrax, S.O.D.) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies, Dead Cross) for a trio of shows taking place in early February. They’ll play the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on February 7th, the Warfield in San Francisco on the 8th, and Brooklyn Steel in NYC on the 10th.
    Tickets go on sale Friday, August 16th. A press release warns that “there will be no additional cities added to this itinerary.” 

    (rest of info and some background on the whole thing here)

     

    Damnnnnn, wish this wasn't only limited to three shows in the US. :-(

    I fully agree, @Euronymous, great album! It'll always have a special place in my heart as it was my first Marduk CD. But other than that ofc it has some exceptional songs and I really enjoy the slower pace too. Also, the segue from "Obedience unto Death" to "Bonds of Unholy Matrimony" is just awesome.

     

    Never had a problem with Legion meself either, although I've seen people giving him shit. Obviously you could find better or more captivating black metal vocalists out there but he really added flavour to Marduk's music that's for sure.

    I still swear that one of those stupid goofy-ass Japanese 'Human Tetris' gameshow things used part of Metronome's Computer as background music at some points, for example at around 7:20 or so in this one

    Wow, that is Computer I believe! :D Unless in a plot twist it turns out Metronome actually sampled that synthline from this gameshow, lol.

    Found another one from Mr. McFarlane, this time it's Spawn issue #78 (so just after the previous "X whiskey sighting").

    Funny thing: as the story of the comics progresses, sometimes we are treated to a page of three news anchor talking heads (like the above) commenting on current events happening in the world of the comic book. The first two characters are always seen with the same TV channel logo, but this third guy is such a don't-give-a-shit loudmouth that he constantly has to keep switching jobs at different TV stations it seems, as he is seen with a different backdrop/logo every time, lol.

    Did you ever just go about your life as usual, and suddenly saw a picture of a visual kei musician/band where you least expected to? Or did you notice an intentional (or unintentional) reference to J-rock somewhere totally out-of-place? I find it pretty fascinating whenever I come across something like this out of its usual subcultural bubble, makes me think whether the person who dropped that bit of VK in there did it knowingly or did it just happen by random.

     

    Here, I'll show you what I mean:

     

    In 2005 a Hungarian publishing house released a collection of short stories from Russian author Yuri Buyda (Юрий Буйда), titled "Porosz menyasszony" (Прусская невеста/Prussian Bride). The cover ended up being a photo of Mana (MALICE MIZER, Moi dix Mois) somehow...?

    Issue #77 (October, 1998) of Todd McFarlane's famous comic book series Spawn apparently features a reference to X JAPAN on a whiskey bottle. I tried checking online whether this product was actually a thing, but I came up empty. Anyway, looks like ol' Todd might know a thing or two about Yoshiki & co. :D

    I totally stole this idea from a metal forum, but I thought it would be fun to do with visual kei too.

     

    Mods: if a thread like this already exists, pls delete this one and merge my post into it.
