finally got to watch this now and it's perfect, these guys are unstoppable, immediate icons

I find most western djent kind of played out except for maybe Architects and Northlane (if one could wholly slap em in that genre, I guess), but this is fuckin' FANTASTIC!! Feel like I'm gonna be obsessed with this for a little while.

I like the sound of this sample more than anything else they've put out so far, though perhaps because it sounds more immediately like Issei-era DIMLIM to me (which still isn't as good as current DIMLIM, but I dig nonetheless...) 

Songwriting seems a bit more cohesive and not as much ALLTREBLECLICKYCLACKY production so it feels like a step in the right direction.

Look is...something? On first look I was really taken by Mio and Uta's looks, but the more time I spend looking at it...hmmm...something is missing?

I really, really like this. Kinda rides the line of the shreddy metalcore stuff and modern VK in a way that isn't really breaking any molds, but sounds polished and well-done. Excited for the single! Also still absolutely crazy about their aesthetic, especially in the context of the video.

figured was worth sharing here also 😬

I see that you're new to starwave bands 

This is the only one that bugs me for some reason! lmao

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

 

Even after so many disappointments, my hope for them returning to form never dies. I'm curious how their two new singles will turn out, even though I feel that there won't be any surprises. But you never know.

Yeah - they're definitely something special (even by definition alone) within VK. Can't really think of anyone else that has done their sound specifically, even the other electro/goth leaning acts approach it from a different angle. Would love to see them inject some of that initial goodness into some new tracks, but at the very least I'm glad Kaya seems to be enjoying a relatively successful career (from what I can tell?)

Thanks for taking the time to do this write-up. I really enjoyed your perspective. Reminded me of exactly why I used to love this band and just don't feel too taken by them any more.

Still on the fence about these guys. Chain of Tragedy was just okay and I haven't gotten all the way through Folklore yet, but the production on all of them has seemed less than stellar to me.

The songwriting just feels a bit bland when put alongside their "peers." The production doesn't help them at all, either - makes everything sound flat and empty to me.

goth gf Ryuya is truly the look of looks

WOW the legend returns. Cannot wait for this. 

I love this band. Also IZA 🙌🙌🙌

Whoa. Nostalgia blast!!!

Welcome! Glad to have you here. 

Snatch Game left a lot to be desired, but that lipsync... LEGENDARY

have had the same account for what feels like forever. add me if you like!

Have never listened to them, but their drummer's look is ELITE. Gonna look em up now!!

I can assume they're taking the place of Karasuna Mei to fuyukai no tomodachi (and by taking place I mean just reorienting to this look/name, I suppose) at AREA on 5/6. I'll try to do a live report and write up my thoughts on their set (though hoping we get some music prior to that date)!

Just saw this on my Twitter timeline and got confused until I dug a bit deeper. Intrigued!!

nostalgia will be the death of me

Preview intrigues me much more than the video. Will definitely give this a spin.

My job is super generic office fare and nothing worth talking about ever happens, but in one week alone we've had a random film crew on site for some unknown Netflix show and yesterday they found someone dead in the parking deck so there's that

It's like they tried to write a speedy riffy metal song, but left the riffs at home 🤔
