Great concert last night. The 15 minutes I saw of Haraball was good, Haust delivered some awfully ugly blackened hardcore with conviction and Okkultokrati was heavy as fuck. Great gigs from al of them, especially Haust and Okkultokrati.

now that's a truly powerful feminist response to all that abundant son/dad gay fanfiction, yaaaaas @ this declaration of empowerment and gender equality

After-gig thoughts, but in more formal fashion this time: the gig in general was quite awesome- despite the fact that we felt a bit letdown before the show due to 1) quite lacking aesthetics (since we've heard rumors from here and there about "screens showing ART" etc.) and 2) hella long PA intro consisting of 80s new wave/post punk stuff (for  ~1 1/2 hours). Band didn't change actually from their previous Moscow gig look-wise, despite Kyo sporting some accessories he had in Rinkaku photoshoot (the hat and the pendant, that is). Mixing was quite pleasant - each member had its own 'spotlight' without being drowned by other instruments (honorable mentions: Yuchi and Mika had quite a good sense of rhythm - especially digging their impros during intermissions and "weirder set of songs" (hemimetabolism-vandal set)), not to mention that there were no major fuck-ups from members' part...but if we have to nitpick a bit, Takumi had a little programming mishap during "In All Weathers" (which he saved by guitar doodling, lol)
 
Worthwhile moments: 1) Uta was one hell of an energizer - the gig was quite "fanservice-less", but Uta tried his best to show his fan-loving charisma by shaking around and pulling off "noise rocker-like" shredding at some point etc. 2) there were 3 intermissions (not 4, my bad): one was an underwater ambient-like track, the other two were Takumi-led instrumental "jazz breaks" feat. the band (Kyo just danced around in one of those) 3) New song had a bit of "In all weathers pt.2"-like vibe, but I felt more *sense* there tbh.

Great gig, fun company.

Welcome, welcome! Yay for Plastic Tree & MEJIBRAY & Lycaon, nice taste!

D'ERLANGER's intro to their La Vie en Rose album (and consequently, the title track) is just too cheesy and weird and trying-to-be-dark-and-twisted that it's a treat to listen to. xD Made by the wonderful Hoppy Kamiyama btw who did a lot of synth/programming for the band and many others.

Zin must be the reptilian shapeshifter of vk, but I'm feeling the stoned rococo xtina look

Necroing~
 

and (one of those few "stadium vk" songs I remember very well)
(still gets me even after many years...)
(FURAAII FOREEBA, FURAIII FOREEBA)
(lovely chanson-ish melody)Dir en grey - JESSICA and
(my first DEG/J-rock songs and dear god, still loving~)
(hands down their most immense song...)
and (I like stylistic tendencies here plus good ol' soaring choruses from Mucc)
(his solo career might bore me mostly, but 'Aurora' is definitely something what keeps me listening to his debut album...just wow)
(one of those songs that define my "MTV discovery-filled childhood")
(I might not be liking them due to "too DM-y repertoire" - this one is a big, no - HUGE exception though)L'Arc~en~Ciel - Lies and Truth (my childhood...)

(silly but lovely - even to this day)Kuroyume - Yasashii Higeki (I might not be listening to them on normal basis, but pop Kuroyume is just everything!)

I hope they don't filter questions, but they're 100% going to. 
 
Someone ask why they lied about going on a dramatic search for new members who wanted to pursue the spirit of old school, then just changed their names and started over. Not that I'm disappointed, as Reload was awful, but don't front.

Bought Jigokue's demo remasters + a reissued Scissors Garden album from their vocalist recently -- support da goth-horror underground~
(speaking of horror, one of the CDs has a Lament Configuration box on the cover, pretty neat)
 

 
Got a free flyer and sticker as bonus.

I know there's a similar thread for everything on the forum, but I thought physical copies and merch deserved its own thread. Pictures of you stuff is always a positive.
 
 
Went to this record thing today where lots of people have stands and sell their shit, and I ended up with the following:
 
Vinyl:

Don Peake ‎– The Hills Have Eyes (soundtrack)
Roberto Donati ‎– Mangiati Vivi! / Eaten Alive! (soundtrack)
Steve Moore ‎– Horror Business (soundtrack)

Tape:

Don Peake ‎– The Hills Have Eyes (soundtrack)
 
 
 
Soundtracks is the shit. Will try to add some photos when I have my shitty-ass phone around.

^ it's probably a hand puppet Kisaki talks to when deciding how many layers of pipe organ he'll need to cover up his bass parts.

im the last guy from the left xD on a trip in a church durin our military practice


me and a friend on our way to the church ;p

and here durin our trainin ;p
sorry for spammin dats it ;p

A few more enders that I rate extremely high, and they're all by the same band as well. Heh.
 
 
Immortal - A Perfect Vision of the Rising Northland (from Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism)

This abum was Immortal's debut album and a very Bathoryesque album, and they nailed what Bathory did on Under the Sign of the Black Mark perfectly without ripping off the album. They mixes the raw and ugly with the epic, without going all retard with synth, folk elements and whatnot. A Perfect Vision of the Rising Northland is a 9 minute, mid-paced epic with some acoustic guitar and synth, but without going over the top with any of it. This is 9 minutes of cold, occult, epic and unholy black metal and is a perfect ender to a perfect album, and a song that would've made Quorthon proud.
 
Immortal - Beyond the North Waves (from Sons of Northern Darkness)

Ten years after Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism Immortal were back with their most Bathory-inspired album since that mentioned album, and once again they decided to end it with a song that would've made Quorthon proud. Fantasticly epic and majestic, and the ending of the song, man. The solo. Nothing complicated or amazing in itself, but it's very fitting and just adds a whole other dimension to the song. It's the way to do a solo.

Tsuzuku better deliver something like this http://macchalatte.blogspot.fi/2013/05/mejibray-kase-to-chinou-english-lyrics.html then
