Anyone know who the drummer is? This is fucking incredible, starting off right!!! 
 
Edit: his name is 諒平(Ryohei) Twitter is https://twitter.com/DDRM_ryohei
 
I believe he’s Ex member of Link and Clack inc, correct me if I’m wrong! 

The drummer in the PV and song is Ryo (ex-girugamesh). Great Track!

Great news! 
 
(Happy to see Eve here; 'eve-writing-everything' era Avelcain was my favorite Avelcain)

Mixing in the acoustic arpeggiated sections in the verses paired well with the high-tempo distorted riffing in the pre-chorus and chorus.  Razor is becoming my favorite VK band in this era.  I hope this next single is solid.

Vpngate.net always has Japanese proxies.

Whiteout was jarring, but slowly is growing on me.

This is how I would describe all their albums. I figure you can start with what sounds appealing to you and make your way around. My personal favs are Macabre, Vulgar, and Arche.

Gauze - Classic 80's/90's jrock with a bit of bite, a nice mix of pop songs and heavy metal
Macabre - An evolution of Gauze with more experimentation
Kisou - Crunchier, heavier, and more industrial than the previous two
Vulgar - An evolution of Kisou, heavier, more industrial and refined. Still retains a fun upbeat atmosphere. Strong Western rock influence.
Withering to Death - A stripped down form of Vulgar with less industrial sounds. Even stronger Western influences and a darker more vicious listening experience.
Marrow of the Bone - Raw, violent, unrefined and dark. Very depressing and hopeless atmosphere.
Uroboros - A change in direction. Injects strong oriental and spiritual vibes into their sound. The album is a journey.
Dum Spiro Spero - It's like an exaggeration of Uroboros. Takes the sounds from previous album and intensifies everything. More spiritual vibes, heavier, more contemporary/avantegarde song writing.
Arche - A return to form. You can hear a bit of all their past work mixed in with their current sound. Overall, a softer more tame listening experience.
 

I second this tbh. (Though I'd probably start with Vulgar.) I'd known Diru for a while but got into them right before Withering came out. Since it aligned with my music taste at the time it was easy to get into, and from there on they continued releasing things in a fairly logical diru-evolution (along with my own). I've always liked Vulgar as well but the ones before I've never been able to link with. Maybe if I'd gotten into them earlier.
 
 

The production really takes away from how hard the riffs hit in these tracks.  The instruments are too low in the mix compared to the vocals, and the bass needs to be up to make those heavy sections really punch.
 
Don't get me wrong, I like this band and this music, but I honestly think the production is holding them back.
 
Edit:  The synth sounds are also way too front and center.

You can watch “Falling” on their official YouTube channel 
 

Same old FED, the worst mastering on the scene. Even the drums sound like a programmed machine, jesus lord

I like it just fine at this point.  It sounds like a return to the Beautiful Deformity era.  Not my favorite Gazerock era, but it has some punch and hooks, so I'll take it.  I'd like them to experiment with some acoustic ballads again, like Reila, Cassis, or Dark Long Night again, instead of all chuggy rock - Ominous was a good track for the change of pace.  I really like the Dogma release, so I hope the new album stays heavy like that bug tries to get more proggy and experimental as seen in tracks like 13 stairs and Undying.

I wonder if the new song will sound anything like what we hear at the 1 minute mark of the new song trailer. Way cool!
 
Although I gotta say, making a trailer for one song, several months in advance? Really dude? Also, I was actually expecting the new album to be released around 3/10

Personally I'm way more fond of that LCR dude style if we are talking about a solo vocalist, I think it fits much better. But yeah, their duo on Solace is AMAZING. Someone that can balance that is ideal, I agree. Syu (ex. Heartless, boogieman) would be a good fit, love that dude

克哉 (katsuya) (Misanthropist, ex-CodeRebirth) new band will form, & he is recruiting a vocalist.
