Atreides

Drunk on a Monday evening.

Yeah, the thing about vocals and stuff is I don't really listen to music for them. I'm more focused on the instruments honestly. Also, Aurora is just great. Those songs they released are songs that I will be listening to for the rest of my entire life. I wonder what ever happened to those dudes, and I'm really sad they didn't make more music.

Hm, I can't really stand Lycaon, but MeteoroiD and DIAURA are really great. I also enjoyed the Nokubura song you posted as well. For me: 1. Marvelous Maiden - Another Warfare 2. Crowley - Sword of Madness 3. Pierrot - Vanity Dance 4. Zi:Kill - TOUCH ME 5. Verbal - Dope Boy Fresh 6. Dead End - The Damned Thing 7. THE MORTAL - The Mortal 8. KA.F.KA - Labiera Beladen 9. Tokyo Brass Style - Cruel Angel's Thesis 10. Malice Mizer - Baroque KA.F.KA is amazing, I really hope they put out more. Any band with Ken Morioka kicks ass though.

Ah that's such a shame about Jinkaku Radio. I really enjoyed their 2nd album. It was a different style than their first but it definitely left a good feeling inside me. I still bust it out occasionally. However, their 3rd album was ass.

It's a shame Isshi died, he was certainly one of the best vocalists in the genre. The great thing to me about Kaggra,, was their music never got old or stale for me. It's very rare for a band to have nearly no bad albums or singles. While Kaggra, did have a few here and there, they were far and few between.

Being a very long time fan of VK (but not an elitist), my biggest problem with alot of Visual Kei is the lack of originality. That singer? Interchangeable. Baseline guitar riffs, cheesy (in a bad way) keys. Those looks? They've been done before. This applies to many VK bands over the years, but don't get me wrong, there are still amazing VK bands that break the mold and are very original and talented, and as the scene changes, there are chances for fresh air and fresh sounds. Just my personal opinion, but bands I think really broke out with their own style and dominated the genre: 1. Kaggra, 2. Pierrot 3. Megaromania 4. D 5. Aurora ( One of my greatest wishes is that you'd released more than 4 songs) 6. Nue (can't wait to see what else they have in store) 7. Guniw Tools 8. Ayabie (specifically, their earlier works) 9. Janne da Arc 10. Malice Mizer (obvious but I had to list them) I would list some bands I'm not too fond of, but I really don't want to get roasted.

Ah yeah, Sakurai is another one.

Thanks for reminding me I like Guns n Roses, and to start listening to them again. Shit it's been a minute!

Yeah, Morrie from Dead End since maybe 2002 or so. The man is aging like fine wine. Also, see profile pic.

Wow, I've never heard this band and they sound really amazing! What's the translation of their name in English? Like.. 88 kasyo or something?

Not sure if it's been mentioned here but a good one I found that's neo-classic deathmetal Veiled in Scarlet from their album Idealism

For me personally I really love their 1st and 2nd era, but I absolutely cannot stand their 3rd. In regards to Double Twelve, obviously the production value is much higher, and I personally don't think Dada sounds like he's trying too hard, to me it sounds like he's matured. Nothing will ever live up to the original song Streets of Alice, however there are a couple on Double Twelve that I think come really close.

Just reached 9000 battlepoints with Vega in Ultra Street Fighter IV! I'm gonna make it to the top

I don't know much about Starwave but I will say that I absolutely love the band Nue, so there's that I guess.

I was hanging out here with a couple of my good friends and since I was browsing the forums here I put this song on for us. Pretty mtuch an excellent song, though we are not familiar with the Jamacain (?) scene we all loved it alot. The rythym and flow are on point, the song is dripping with flavor. It's the perfect thing to listen to while drinking and hanging out, it will definitely get you hyped. Our only complaint which isn't a major one is we have no idea what "Wine and Kotch" means. All in all though, absolutely excellent, 8/10. My song:

I just wanna say as someone who's been following Velvet Eden since they came out pretty much, Double Twelve is my favorite album from them. Sure they used alot of their old songs as a crutch but it really is an opus magna from them. However their new single was meh.

Desperately hope someone uploads some Laissez Faire for me in my request thread, trying to make good on a 2 year promise

What do you recommend from each of them? I'm not so much into like screamo/metalcore, more of straight metal and more artsy kinda stuff.

Not trying to sound rude, but in general the thai language just sounds like ass to me, I couldn't really get into their scene. I do like the rapper Thaitanium tho.

I like Extasy Records and Free-Will along with some of the stuff from early Undercode and PS Company.

I have tinnitus in my right ear as a result of severe head trauma. They had to drill a hole in my right temple to drain blood before my brain hemmorhaged. Tinnitus is a bitch, but very luckily for me music is one of the few things that lessen the constant ringing.

Here's one, you probably heard of them but I believe they are criminally underrated outside of Germany.

I'm just some random dude lol

For me in no particular order, they're all equal: 1. Malice Mizer - Mervailles 2. Due'le Quartz - Jisatsu Ganbou 3. Luna Sea - Mother 4. Soft Ballet - Earth Born 5. Dead End - Ghost of Romance 6. Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape 7. Rush - Power Windows 8. Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor 9. Siam Shade - Siam Shade II All of these albums to me are timeless, and I'll probably be listening to them for the rest of my life.

Just read your reviews, all pretty great. I'm just using them as a primer to get back into current vk really as I mainly listen to the older stuff (85-2010). Nue and MORE really stuck out for me they're great. As with MORE, I was a huge fan of Konig but I never heard Sugar. Pretty eye opening stuff. Nue's song Deep Sea was amazing as hell, haven't heard anything quite like it in a long time.
