DAMY 「虚言癖」

Glad he's back

Good for them. They've had it rough with labels and drummers, it'd be nice if they could catch a break. Thanks for answering all my questions btw, I know I've asked a lot!

That's good, at least. I don't know much about production costs and all the responsibilities of forming an independent label but I was wondering how it stacked up against finding another label. If their contract with Ains ended they technically could have, right? But maybe creative freedom was worth more to them idk I hope they'll be able to make full use of it

Do you think that will be better for them overall?

True. Kisaki's a tough act to top lol. Yukika still somehow manages to pull them in... who's kuroyuri with now?

I see. I remember reading a long thread on him and Ains a little while ago, he's one shady dude. Starting new sub-labels and secret ones and who knows what else, and shifting bands, dropping bands, I really wonder how he keeps track of everything.

Yeah, they put out a pretty solid single though so I hope things are at least looking up. I think that was one of the biggies I was wondering when Memento Mori disbanded if they would cut all traditional instruments out of their music, it would be good if they do get more opportunities to experiment (and not just bc I miss MM) I didn't know that about Mei! And they left ains a little while ago right?

I was worried about this band for a while after they released their first album since they didn't do anything for what felt like a really long time... and man, it's such a bad habit. It takes so much longer for me to get un-sick of a song than the time it takes for me to get sick of one you'd think I'd just learn and include some variety with new songs but nope!!

The dark look is really nice, I hope the single matches

That's too bad, the new support drummer's going to have a lot to live up to. Did they say anything more after their oneman?

The title track was pretty good but I really enjoyed the third song. It's not their greatest, I do prefer their heavier stuff, but they're a versatile band. Whatever they do I think they'll manage to make it work for them.

lord I hope so

hakkyou no karte and toshabutsu are my two favorites atm. I was pretty down when memento mori broke up but I looked forward to kuroyuri. I liked their first album quite a lot but I think I listened to yokusou too many times and ended up getting tired of it

catching up on new bands and old bands' new releases, thinking about the 12 hour drive I have ahead and how I can barely drive in-city

I've been a vk fan for 6, 7 years and even in the beginning I had cycles where vk was all I would listen to and other times I couldn't get away from it fast enough (although these times were fewer). It's not like listening to other styles is being unfaithful to vk or anything, sometimes it's good to get a break. It also reminds you of what keeps bringing you back. Even the bands need breaks from the scene occasionally, it makes sense for fans to need one too. I don't think that means current vk is hopeless or anything, and bringing in more variety and other influences helps keep it from becoming stale. For me, sometimes after a band I loved disbanded, starting to look for new music/bands to listen to can be emotionally draining because I want the new shiny songs I find to mean the same as whatever I'm trying to replace, and that's unrealistic to expect. Maybe what brings me back to vk changes too. Change isn't a bad thing even if it doesn't suit my tastes; it's okay to grow and let my expectations shift along the way.

Yeah this is the kind of style I would've expected if the vocalist had been Karma, it's interesting coming from lime

love the new look

sounds good. wonder if they'll stick with this style
