These are still available if you're interested! DM your address to me and I can check out the postage cost

I dropped them after Dadaism 3. I can't believe they still have fans at this point to be quite honest. And yet pathetically I keep checking these previews hoping for that heaviness to pop up again XD

These are selling fast! Only a few left if you're interested!

Bumpy bump!

Shameless bump

Clearing through some stuff at the mo and wondered if any of you were interested in the following? I'm moving soon and I need to make some extra space!

My boy Yuura absolutely KILLING it! This actually sounds pretty good. Looking forward to hearing the full song. NoGoD's last album was a bit meh.

Certainly sounds like Akane.

Surprised there isn't more of a buzz for this album! I've spun it quite a few times now and for a first album I think it's great! Like Chedoara it has its pros and cons but I think I actually regard both albums as equals. And damn, that vocalist is good. Those high pitched screams are something else. The only thing I really can't stand on the album is the guitar tone on some tracks. The sweeps end up sounding really ugly at times.

Agree with everything you're saying here. I was so disappointed with TIW but Arche just gets better and better with each listen. It's no Uroboros but it's got some damn good tracks.

Ahhhhh that makes sense

I think I'm the only person who preferred Adolfism (minus the name XD)

It's pretty quiet on here! What are your thoughts on the band's output overall? I only had Near Equal until recently and wow, I was missing out on some amazing tracks. However I'm not convinced by the direction they're going in. Does anyone else feel the same? 😕 Pre-Near Equal = Awesome. They're clearly finding their sound but this resulted in a lot of good experimentation. Near Equal = A few decent tracks but otherwise meh. Pre-Utopia = Lots of experimental, harsh tracks, and some of the strongest singles to date. Utopia = Same as above. The title track was a bit meh but this was a huge step up from Near Equal. Post-Utopia = Er...where did the screaming go? Most of the singles sound generic and even the B-sides seem to have lost their charm.

Berry is fucking great. Taiyou no Ao, for sure.

May as well remove half the album while you're at it and you'll end up with a solid mini-album 😛

I keep meaning to listen to these guys as I adore the song Iolite. I can't see a discography on here though?!

The best thing to do is come back to this in a few weeks/months. I can imagine people's opinions will have changed wildly by then

I have the exact same sentiments and will be replacing the album version with the single version ASAP. Save the one-take versions for future bonus tracks, don't put it on the album we've been waiting 4 years for.

I think it's genuinely interesting that everyone has such different lists when it comes to this band. I listened through all their albums recently in the lead up to TIW and Gauze really shone for me in particular

Surely this is in reverse order? There are many here who would burn you at the stake for putting the holy quadrinity dead last 😂

Unpopular opinion: I think I'm the only person here who isn't blown away by the new album. Maybe it'll take more listens but barely any of the tracks are grabbing me at the moment. On first impressions it's like a bland Dum Spiro Spero, and I'm not a huge fan of that album. Ranunculus is the stand out track to me. 赫, Followers, and 谿壑の欲 interested me the most I think. The rest just washed over me. I think it's the first time one of their albums hasn't immediately grabbed me unfortunately. I cannot stand the new vocals on 詩踏み, they sound like a half-arsed live version in comparison to the original vocals. I find it akin to the album version of 激しさ. Ew. Anyone else agree? No? I'll just sit down Glad to see so many people having fun in the lead up to, and the release of, the new album though! Happy listening everyone! ^^

Yeah those SEs are garbage. I took these out and put Hito to Katachi as the first track; it provides a Sukekiyo-esque opening with a strong closer in the form of Vanitas

Don't get me wrong, it's certainly a strong album and an astounding one when compared to first albums from other VK artists Miles ahead of that terrible EP they released many moons ago!

Same here. There was a lot of hype for it on here but after the record dropped there wasn't much activity. I assume people were disappointed? I myself built it up in my head quite a lot but after a few listens I find it just 'OK'. There are some great songs on here so i'm not sure why.
