I haven't really got the hang of the single yet (granted, I'm only through with one listen, lol). 不味い麻酔 is the only song whose style is the closest to my preference, but even that one is kinda "heard it all before, and better". Dunno.

Thanks for the live report, it was great to read. I'm also looking forward to your next one, when you have the time.

Heyyyy, this is not bad! Kinda reminds me of 2005-2010-ish indies VK that mixed heavier nu/modern-rock with melodic elements (like Girugamesh and such). Might keep an eye on these guys. Memorable name too, lol.

Not posting today's setlist because it was almost exactly the same, but instead of "FUTURE SONG -未来が通る-" they played "タナトス", and instead of "密室" they played "Tight Rope". Not bad.

I've been really enjoying Gaahl's new album too, I didn't expect it to be this good. Very cool and memorable atmospheric sound. Also side note, I gave the new Deathspell Omega a spin but it's totally not for me. Sounds like some dude giving an edgy poetry reading while nonsensical 'progressive' extreme metal noodling is playing in the background. Shame cuz I really liked some of their older stuff but for some reason this new one sounds totally alienating for me.

Probably this.

Today was the 1st gig of the band's 2-day event "Locus Solus no kemono-tachi" at Makuhari Messe, and looks like they played some stuff they haven't for quite a while! Also some acoustic versions, which is not something they usually do. Here's the setlist: 01.獣たちの夜 02.GUSTAVE 03.PHANTOM VOLTAIRE 04.Lullaby-III 05.謝肉祭 -カーニバル- 06.キラメキの中で… 07.相変わらずの「アレ」のカタマリがのさばる反吐の底の吹き溜まり 08.ICONOCLASM 09.FUTURE SONG -未来が通る- 10.BABEL 11.Moon さよならを教えて 12.密室 13.RONDO 14.THE SEASIDE STORY 15.BRAN-NEW LOVER 16.DIABOLO ENCORE 1: 01.スズメバチ（Acoustic） 02.BOY septem peccata mortalia（Acoustic） 03.形而上 流星（Acoustic） ENCORE 2: 01.愛ノ歌 02.さくら 03.HEAVEN

I've been slowly making my way through Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay. I saw the movie version a long time ago, and came across this book one day with a discount price, so I was like 'why not'. There's a lot more stuff happening in the book than what I remember from the movie and it's interesting enough... the slow trudging through it has to do more with me and my short attention span for novels these days, lol. I'm also getting back more into comic books lately, feels really cool and refreshing to catch up on some stuff I've missed. Thankfully there seems to be somewhat of a small 'boom' here in Hungary with random collected edition comics so right now I'm just jumping from volume to volume, whatever I can get my hands on that seems good: - I've just finished volume 6 of Jodorowsky's & Moebius' The Incal (I've been buying this series steadily since they first announced it), it was a very creative, profound but also funny space opera. I'm curious to see whether they'll continue with releasing the prequel story in Hungarian too. - Finished up the 4th collection/trade paperback volume of Mike Mignola's Hellboy. This guy just cannot disappoint me, gotta love the dark lore and fantastic art style (this edition also contains a story illustrated by Gary Gianni, different but still cool visuals). - Began reading Alan Moore's and Eddie Campbell's massive From Hell, so far so good. It took a while for me to get used to the dark and sketch-like art style but I realized that it fits the mysterious and grim atmosphere of the story perfectly. I'm still at the first few chapters, can't wait for the rest.

Just by the looks of it, I can taste the blandness already. I hope they surprise me tho.

Sounds great just like their mini album, but no matter how much I dig this I gotta agree with @filth_y on the vocals.

Chernobyl is really strong so far, this week's episode was especially dark (tho it always is, so hard to rank them I guess). Utterly dreary atmosphere. On the flipside, I've been enjoying some What We Do in the Shadows too. Possibly the funniest show currently, totally lives up to the movie!

That was awesome! Reminds me of her work with Neko Saitou~

Rightfully so! That's amazing!!

Lucky New Yorkers, damn!! And the venue looks perfect, too, for an intimate acoustic-style gig. Should be a treat.

Same here.

Awesome! Hope their single's good too, heh.

If you ever wanted to see B-T drawn in the style of ゲゲゲの鬼太郎: https://natalie.mu/music/gallery/news/332018/1163225 Merch with this design will be sold at the band's upcoming 2-day live "Locus Solus no kemono-tachi" at Makuhari Messe on 2019/05/25-26.

Haha, true! That's one of my highlights too. Also really enjoyed Radio and Puppe. The other songs are okay too, but I don't remember that much of them yet.

The preview sounds good, looking forward to hearing the whole track/single~

Tyler just dropped his new album. I LOVE IT. ♥ To me it sounds a bit like the beauty of Flower Boy filtered through the experimentation of Cherry Bomb.

Here are the details for the band's upcoming album "We Are Not Your Kind", to be released on August 9. 01. Insert Coin 02. Unsainted 03. Birth of the Cruel 04. Death Because of Death 05. Nero Forte 06. Critical Darling 07. Liar’s Funeral 08. Red Flag 09. What’s Next 10. Spiders 11. Orphan 12. My Pain 13. Not Long for This World 14. Solway Firth Interesting how they don't include last year's "All Out Life" on it (maybe they just wanted to avoid paying any more royalties to Chris? lol). Anyway, what do you guys think of the new track "Unsainted"? I'm a bit on the fence with it, tho I think I can dig it more than "All Out Life". I like the background choirs and the breakdown/interlude part too. The chorus is a bit too familiar/unremarkable 'copy-paste melodic dramatic nu-Slipknot style' for me tho. edit: Performances from last night's Jimmy Kimmel.

How are you guys liking the new album? Surreal to think there hasn't been one for a decade. Personally I quite like it so far (after one-and-a-half listen). I feel like they brought back some of the 'old-school' clinically cold Rammstein vibes, but maybe I'm just thinking that because of the stark synths. They also experiment with some new sounds too (I don't think they've ever done such a straight-up disco/electro-rock track like "Ausländer" before, haha). In any case, most of the songs are entertaining enough and with 45 mins the album doesn't overstay its welcome. I'm enjoying this one.

The piano's giving me Coldplay flashbacks, lol. Song's not bad but I prefer the crazy/mysterious sukekiyo more.

I love these guys, but that cover art is tragic, lmao.
