Hot on the heels of announcing their upcoming single for February, BUCK-TICK has just announced that they will be releasing their new album "No. 0" on 2018/03/14. The new full-length (which will be their 21st studio album) is planned to feature 13 tracks. The release will come in 4 types: regular (CD), limited Type-A (CD+Blu-ray), limited Type-B (CD+DVD) and limited Type-C (CD+VR content). The bonus video contents of Types A and B will be the same. Furthermore, they will hold their nationwide "BUCK-TICK 2018 Tour No.0" from 31st March to 19th July.

I'm wondering how much footage will fit on that one DVD, lol. I'm thinking it might be a mixture of songs from both gigs, since the runtime of both would well exceed the limitations of a DVD... Still, pretty cool parting gift!

So it kinda seems this is what Tsuzuku and Koichi were 'signalling' at the end of the tour final then, interesting.

They are pretty much breaking up, yes. At least for now it seems like.

^ Ooooh right, I completely forgot the fact that 「Dead[en]D」-1- and 「Dead[en]D」-FINAL- are the titles of their last gigs. The contents sound much more substantial now, haha.

Sooooo it's basically a bunch of intros and then their last live versions of the title track I'm guessing? ...okay.

Cool look! Been a while since I listened to these guys, but gonna try to check out this album (if it ever makes its way online, lol).

Yeah, that was exactly what I was thinking about.

LMAO @ the nonsensical album title underlined in red. I hope they did this ~ironically~ (if not, wow)

I always skip the singles cuz meh. But ofc I will check out this album for sure!

Metal percussionist / industrial musician / soundtrack composer 石川忠 (Chu Ishikawa) has passed away on 2017/12/21 after battling a lengthy illness, with a funeral held shortly afterwards among close relatives. He was 51 years old. He was the founding member of short-lived '80s industrial unit ZEITLICH VERGELTER and founding member of industrial / metal percussion band DER EISENROST with whom he remained active until recently. What he was more famous for was his soundtrack work, having provided the music to most of Shinya Tsukamoto's movies in particular, like the cult hit "Tetsuo: The Iron Man". He was working on new music which he planned to unveil in 2018. (source) May he R.I.P. Goddamn, I'm devastated, he seemed like a really cool guy and all his stuff is amazing. Gonna blast this big boy today for sure.

Goddammit.

I wish they'd just release a widely-available full album already... ;w;

I've read the name then listened to the sample, and now I'm afraid that if I'll hear bad vk vocals again I'll get hungry. #Pavlov系

Well. That sure was a... thing.

Awww so this was their big announcement... I was kinda hoping for another world tour. ;(((

omg reaaaaaaally hoping it's UCP Dali~ In any case, more info will come on 30-31st December (ok it's early morning, I can't math XD) judging by their countdown on the website.

RIP...

yeaaaaa boiiiiiii Also, thx Google Translate.

Wow... most of these actually sound kinda nice. I'm back on board, lol.

mother! - This was interesting. I liked the whole concept and how it became more and more surreal and unsettling as it progressed. Neat stuff. Brawl in Cell Block 99 - Damn, this movie. Just brutal on all levels, both physically and emotionally. Another gem from the director of Bone Tomahawk. Can't wait for his next one!
