btw if anyone's interested in the band (and especially Ian), Control is a must watch. One of the best music-themed biopics I've ever seen.

Nice one, Yoshers! (for once)

I see it's important announcement part 1... I hope it'll be an announcement of an announcement, culminating in the pre-announcement of the actual announcement in a grand announcementrilogy of Yoshikian proportions. But it'll prolly just be another overpriced dinner show.

So now the drummer will get to write "Dr.Cula" in his bio. Nice.

^ I've never heard of this band, but this sounds pretty neat. Gonna see them as the opening act for Eyehategod next week, should be interesting.

Started binge-watching The Boys today (just premiered yesterday afaik), so far so great. Unconventional superhero themed series from a reverse-perspective and exposing the seedy underbelly of superherodom, kinda like a modern-day Watchmen mixed with some crime/thriller elements. I also browsed into the comics a bit, those seemed cool too so I might give them a read later. After I'm done with The Boys, next up: the last season of Orange Is the New Black!

Great book, super informative with tons of reaaaaally underground stuff and a very thorough historical angle. For (mostly) visual kei fans there's also the book Jrock, Ink., although I don't know how good or accurate it is. But it has pretty illustrations of bands at least, lol.

Awesome bands, the both of them! I'll always be partial to Joy Division tho.

....Wow. Bummer.

Okay, this is pretty great. I could do without the first minute-or-so (I don't think it goes well with the rest of the song at all), but other than that, this might one of the most enjoyable 'Knot tracks in recent memory for me. Parts like the one from 02:05 onwards bring back that good ol' slammin' aggro-Slipknot vibe I've been missing.

As far as I've seen the most they've played so far was 10 songs in total: the tracks from the single + the rest is still unreleased (or at least I didn't recognize any of the titles). I don't think they're playing any stuff from their previous bands, or not sure. (source)

The band pics are really cool, but after listening to that song........ I'm feeling a bit of a disconnect between the sound and the look, lol.

His new song "MOTOR CITY" will be the opening theme to the anime series "ノー・ガンズ・ライフ" (No Guns Life). If you skip to the 1-minute mark you can hear a sample. Sounds very Kenichi-ish as expected! Fun fact: the last time (I think?) Kenichi's song was used for an anime series was exactly 10 years ago - "MAD SURFER" as the ending theme of "BLEACH".

Finally watched the latest Hellboy movie with a friend. We were prepared it was gonna suck based on what we've heard, but it was actually not too bad. The story was a bit jumbled and they tried to cram way too much in there imo, but the visuals were really neat and there were some satisfyingly gory scenes too. It was okay.

No "hats in VK" thread is complete without the KING OF HATS, Full (GUNIW TOOLS, NOOKICKY, SHILFEE AND TULIPCOROBOCKLES, etc).

Honestly, I could live without them. Usually when I get a new release I just put the obi inside the booklet, never to glance at it again, lol. So when I buy a used CD it's not a make-or-break situation for me if the obi strip is missing. The only case where I actually appreciate the obi is when the bands (or, well, the graphic designers) place some funny/amusing/cool artwork or note on the inside part, like a little 'easter egg'. Otherwise I'm not attached to them in any way.

I knew that YT thumbnail looked familiar...

At least now they won't be mistaken for the superior Guernica.

Apparently they'll be releasing a demo CD that will contain an Endo Michirou cover song too... pretty cool!

LMAO, off to a great start! Anyway, I really love the rawness and the energy of the samples, hopefully we'll get to hear more from these guys.
