I don't mind the production that much (tho it took a bit of time to get used to). Songs are okay, nothing special but decent.

Out of those samples only "Purgatory" really caught my interest. The rest could be good too, we'll see.

CORE edition is da bomb, rest of the artwork looks like garbage, lol. Looking forward to it, still!

Yoshiatsu 20 years from now be like

a cry for help

This, 1000%.

It's a headless guitar. Shame it's wasted on........... this, lmao.

Damnnn that is rough! Wishing him all the best and a thorough recovery.

Sadly it's been harder and harder to find time to actually immerse myself in any quality reading since I got my new job, but hopefully things will pan out soon. I'm making my way through the Hungarian edition of Patti Smith's Kids achingly slowly, but enjoying every page of it. I had already read the book in English before but got the translated volume as a gift from a dear friend, so I figured now is the time to delve into it again ('now' being, like, two weeks ago and I'm only halfway through lol). Before reading this book I only knew Patti as a singer-songwriter and never imagined she would be such an excellent literary author. Her writing is very genuine, wholesome and lyrical (but not on the artsy end of the spectrum). Good stuff.

Nice energetic song, I dig it. Do the beginning and the verses remind anyone else of The Gallo for some reason? lol.

big OOF.

The guys finally released the PV for 天国で待ってる: is this my brain on drugs?

That preview is hilarious, it almost sounds like a generic neo VK band badly imitating SIAM SHADE. How the mighty have fallen...

I'm already on board with this based on the preview. Sounds like they are picking up where Grieva finished. But yeah, album art could be better, lol. Looking forward to it in any case!

Curious to see what this is if ex-Grieva members are really involved...

I like it.

Some extra info: according to the members' comments on the official GeGeGe no Kitaro homepage, we can expect the new song to be romantic and reflective of B-T's gothic worldview. It will also feature a violin and an accordion.

According to the band's Twitter, 弱小の美学 and ガタガタ will be remixed for the album... even though I don't recall them previously releasing the former song, so maybe they meant 妄執, lol.

New Martyrdöd track just dropped, album will be released on 10th May. Song slays as expected. Pulverizing but melodic crusty goodness.

I'm quite hopeful about the new song too. Even though I found their last few albums kinda unremarkable, they've always really shined when it came to anime tie-in tracks for some reason.

Bustin' out the retrock kei, I see~

BUCK-TICK has just announced that they will be contributing a new song titled "RONDO" for the currently ongoing ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 (GeGeGe no Kitaro) anime series from 2019/04/07 (episode 50 onwards). Other details such as the actual release date of the single are currently unknown. edit: The single titled "獣たちの夜 / RONDO" (Kemono-tachi no yoru / RONDO) will be released on 2019/05/22, more info further down this page.

That cover art, I'm dying. :'DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Awwww yeahhhh~

Well... it sounds like a solid song, so good for them I guess. That said, I think this is where I'm officially dropping off the DEZERT train cuz it's clear where they're headed stylistically. It's not that I don't like this style but if I wanna listen to DEZERT this is not the kind of stuff I wanna hear, if that makes sense. I know, I know, "musical growth" and "progress" and stuff like that, but to me this sounds like a completely different band and not a gradual organic transition.
