Which part do you care about more, or end up leaning toward? Do both parts have to be good for you to listen to the band? Me personal, I'll go with vocalist because i don't really listen to music with out vocals. Also i can get attached to them, for example if a band disbands i want the vocalist to come back to music the most, and not so much the other members even if they were wonderful too. but then again the instrumental is what you moving to, hmmm what do you guys/gals think?

Hey So I'm selling some of the stuff I have [CDs are Japan Edition unless it's said to be EU] [shipping fees are: depends of the amount of CD you buy Ask for Pictures if you need it Everything gets shipped from France FOR LATIN AMERICA BUYERS: your post offices in Latin America seems to be shit (like really) so please understand that parcel may take a huge amount of time to arrive, and they don't seem to give a shit about tracking codes and don't scan it as they arrive so it doesn't get updated anymore. Furthermore as long as the parcel leaves France, I can't be held responsible for any loss Please note: I can't be held responsible for any broken case, when CDs leave my house, they are in great condition, if not like new, and I wrap them carefully to prevent any damage. It happened before that CDs arrive completely broken, this is most likely due to post offices putting heavy stuff on letters and small packages, result is broken cases.

Whats up guys, here we have a new band. After the last two single and the new single preview I'm thinking i really like them. For current vk, i'm thinking that they might be my number 3. I love the way they do metalcore, for me they do it best in vk (outside of vk I'm not sure). I like how the vocalist harsh vocals are not pathetic and are adding to the music. Clean sing wise it is good, but i not sure if he is really in it (singing from the heart), please tell what think about this. umm instrumental wise they have great break down, and other parts they are good. Also like the rap/cute bits. still waiting for them to make me cum. Looks: I like the first one, individuals for for eclipse and the last 2 were great (the vocalist character especially) . eclipse pv was horrible though.

Hey Guys so last night I saw Virge live for the first time and they were amazing!

I'm seeing Ghost live again tomorrow and thought it was about time this brilliant band got their own thread on the forum. I've followed Ghost since the release of their debut single Elizabeth, and I've enjoyed every release since then. Ghost is a big fucking circus with great music, and live they're a force of their own. Few bands can match the live shows of Ghost in 2016. As far as their live shows goes the most natural comparison would be Rammstein, rather than bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Foo Fighters. I think all three albums are top quality, but if I had to rate them: 1. Infestissumam Ghost goes pop-rock. Infestissumam sounds like a mix of Abba, Roky Erickson and with very little hard rock and heavy metal. Catchy as fuck. Only flaw is the weak production. Too polished and over-produced, but the brilliance of everything else makes up for it. Hightlights: Year Zero, Ghuleh / Zombie Queen and Monstrance Clock. 2. Opus Eponymous A hard rocking mix of Blue Öyster Cult, Black Sabbath and Mercyful Fate, though Mercyful Fate is named more or less only because of the atmosphere and feeling of the album. Highlights: Ritual, Elizabeth and Stand by Him. 3. Meliora By far their heaviest album IMO. An adventurous dig into progressive rock, heavy metal and hard rock. Sounds like a mix of Genesis, The Beatles and Blak Sabbath. Highlights: From the Pinnacle to the Pit, He Is and Absolution. I also think their covers of Abba's I'm a Marionette, Roky Erickson's If You Have Ghosts and The Beatles' Here Comes the Sun is as good, if not better, than the original songs. I also really like their cover art, even though the execution of Infestissumam is poor. But the film refrences of their cover art is nice and a cool touch to it all. Opus Eponymous - Salem's Lot Infestissumam - Amadeus If You Have Ghost - Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens Cirice - The Silence of the Lambs Meliora - Metropolis Year Zero - Paradise Lost (not a film, but still cool) They also have two tour shirts refrencing A Clockwork Orange and Jaws. Both looks sweet as fuck.

There are some parts of this that I'm not really sure about, so feel free to let me know if you have corrections. I'm really happy they did a live video for this song because I liked the way it sounded in the live preview more than the version that ended up on the mini-album. #ソングライター / #Songwriter Music and Lyrics: Shinoyama Kosei A heart with a low-level rebellious spirit A Japanese person that’s withering away to nothing Saying it’s filled with slander is my air raid shelter from SNS* My soul must be defective When I face any hardship, I think having none would be better The ones still left on the shelf must be available at a bargain, But the return period on mine has already expired Won’t you stay for me? Please! I still need your money Looking at it from the opposite side, thinking something like that just seems the lowest – the worst – doesn’t it?** Guys like that can just hurry up and disappear I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?*** The truth is, I hate everyone But even so, I won’t flinch away from it I’ll accept this world Writing songs to play at festivals It’s alright if you get fired up I could hear voices from the area around me saying “It’s no good if you complain” Won’t you stay for me? Stay there Because I still need your money “Ah, that’s right, make sure to buy the CD after too!” That copyright is what's keeping me alive This kind of song is the result of my struggle This song is the type of song I can write right now Even so, it doesn’t matter I’ll accept this music I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?*** The truth is, I hate everyone But even so, I won’t flinch away from it I’ll accept this world I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?*** The truth is, I hate everyone But even so, I won’t flinch away from it I’ll accept this world I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies The truth is, I hate everyone But even so, I won’t flinch away from it I’ll accept this world What’s right, and What’s wrong An absurd songwriter Let’s sing along pointlessly Let’s lament this dying music scene For every suitably laughable songwriter**** Notes: *, ***, ****I’m not sure about these lines. **Meaning, looking at his own attitude from the perspective of a fan #ソングライター / #SONGURAITAA TeiREBE no hankotsu shin Yasehosori no nihonjin Afurekaeru hibouchuushou Iu wa SNS no boukuugou Boku wa kekkanhin no tamashii Konnan nara nai hou ga MASHI Urenokori no kaidokuhin Sude ni henpin no taishougai WON’T YOU STAY FOR ME onegai da yo Mada anata no okane ga hitsuyou desu Ura de sonna koto o omotte iru nante Saitei saiaku jan Mou hayaku kiete yo Uso bakari aisarete iru ne Daremo minna hontou ga kirai Soredemo itowanai Kono sekai o uketomeru yo FESU muki no SONG WRITE Moriagareba IT’S ALRIGHT Kaiwai no koe ga kikoete kita “Nakigoto nara NG de” WON’T YOU STAY FOR ME soko ni ite yo Mada anata no okane ga hitsuyou dakara “A, sou da, ato CD mo katte yo” Sono KOPIIRAITO ga ikiru-sube Tadoritsuita no ga konna uta Ima kakeru uta ga konna uta Soredemo kamawanai Kono ongaku o uketomeru yo Uso-bakari aisarete iru ne Daremo minna hontou ga kirai Soredemo itowanai Kono sekai o uketomeru yo Uso-bakari aisarete iru ne Daremo minna hontou ga kirai Soredemo itowanai Kono sekai o uketomeru yo Uso-bakari aisarete iru ze Daremo minna hontou ga kirai Soredemo itowanai Kono sekai o uketomeru yo Nani ga seikai de Nani ga machigai da Koutoumukei na SONGURAITAA Muda ni SHINGARONGU Sutaru MYUJIKKU SHIIN ni ureu Soutou kokkei na SONGURAITAA ni tsuite Kanji: In the video description

I just found out recently that they posted the lyrics for the digital singles they released in the past few years on their website. I really appreciate bands that do that. Plus this is a cute song. There's an official video, but I'm going with the live version from before Kimura left the band because the PV they made without him is really missing his energy. Cast a Spell on Me Music and Lyrics: Masashi Akiba Hey baby, ufufufufu Right now, I’m thinking the same thing Oh! Darling, stop the time I want to stay right here, just like this forever Ah, if this is a dream we’re going to have to wake up from one day anyway, Now, while I’m blinking, Cast a spell on me So that no matter how much time passes, No matter where I go, No matter what happens, I can come back here Cast a spell on me Burn it into me So that even if we lose sight of each other, Even if we fade away, I can come back here Lalala… Mahou o kakete HEI BEIBII UFUFUFUFU Ima onaji koto omotte iru yo OO! DAARIN toki o tomete Zutto kono mama koko ni itai yo Aa itsuka wa doose Samete shimau yume nara Ima mabataki o shiteru aida ni Mahou o kakete Itsu ni nattemo Doko e ittemo Nani ga attemo Koko e modoreru you ni Mahou o kakete Yakitsukete yo Miushinattemo Kietenakutemo Koko e modoreru you ni RARARA… 魔法をかけて ヘイ　ベイビー　ウフフフフ 今同じこと思っているよ オー！ダーリン時を止めて ずっとこのままここにいたいよ あーいつかはどーせ さめてしまう夢なら 今瞬きをしてる間に 魔法をかけて いつになっても どこへ行っても 何があっても ここへ戻れるように 魔法をかけて 焼きつけてよ 見失っても 消えてなくても ここへ戻れるように ラララ。。。 ^I typed these out from the image on their website, since they're pretty simple, but I might have made some mistakes.

Huh?” The departure bell resounds I don’t know which one is right Darwin, Darwin Am I really adapting to my environment well? Darwin, Darwin At best, I’m a monkey* Why do I want to survive? Hierarchies have no meaning to me Am I fitting in? Am I not? How should I live? Only god knows the right answer Ah Darwin, Darwin Today as well, I’m practicing my mimicry Will I adapt to my surroundings? Darwin, Darwin Will I be able to survive?

DEVIZE, first announced at the end of 2015 however the start of this band was in MARCH 2016. In September 2016 they hold their first ONEMAN which was SOLD OUT! Members Vocal … アル・フィオン → シャドウ → Lydiac(帝) → DEVIZE Guitar … LARM→ シャドウ → Lydiac(麗喜) → DEVIZE Drums … 爬 → ArcGarden → AvelCain(怜人→Dr.葬)[1] → 麗麗(Ba.怜斗)[2] → DEVIZE(Dr.爬) Past member: Bass … teoh - → シャドウ → Lydiac(ジン) → DEVIZE I myself really like them, somehow they create music different than 99% of the visual kei bands who are around now. Their music always feels as every melody fits on the right place, also the vocalist voice is nice to listen too. Maybe not the best grunting however NO PIGGY SCREAM! *_* I also really love the style of the drummer. However when I first recovered this band, I really thought "those guys look to amazing to sound good". However After some plays I truly felt in love with this band. I truly hope that Double River Record will be good to them. I would be sad if they would break up anytime soon. All I can say more is that their upcoming single "jikisou" is again a great singe. and it's easy to buy on CDJAPAN. will be released at 2016.12.14 <-GRAB IT!~ only 1200yen! And I also can't wait for: this single is also available on CDjapan 2000 yen. and will be released at January 18 2017. Someday I really hope to see this band LIVE!! I really think they great, however the feedback about them on this forum is a bit.... I still think that they sound as so great as their first single AXIS! And I truly can't wait for their album release! So I hope those who only liked their first release to give DEVIZE a 2nd change, EXODUS is also an amazing single. Which still can be bought at CDJapan and of course on other websites. DEVIZE is for me 100% one of the best bands of 2016. Which I really didn't expect when I first checked them out.

I don't really know anything about this band, but I've got a weak spot for bratty singers, and from what I've seen, this guy is like the human form of the word gaki. The translation I did might be a bit off in places, but I think the general idea is pretty clear. As usual, please note that my Japanese sucks, so if something sounds wrong it probably is. Feel free to let me know if you have any corrections. I'm a クズ人間 / I’m a Garbage Human* Lyrics: Kawai Kazuma Music: ReVision of Sence I’m a garbage human The Japanese representatives of the dregs of humanity that have been forced to the fringes of schools, workplaces and families and looked down upon – let’s start our counterattack now! Good people, FUCK YOU!!! More than yourself, you need to look out for others Help those around you Help those around you If I become easy for others to use and smile, am I a good person?** It’s strange, isn’t it? It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? It’s the norm, but something about it is wrong, isn’t it?*** Are the eccentric people that have gone off the rails really trash? Boys, even if you’re trash, It’s fine if you don’t become a good person There’s no good or bad The line between fitting in or not is always paper thin**** Your selfishness will become for someone else’s sake one day If you have the time to give thanks, then go do it We are garbage people I’m a garbage human Going to a good university, getting a good job, and being surrounded by a wife and kids Who decided that being able to buy a family home is the definition of success? Even if you hurt someone and give up on being courteous, You might as well live for yourself, and then one day you’ll end up doing it for someone else***** What do you want to do now? What do you want? Where do you want to go? If we’re supposed to be free to do anything, Why can’t we go anywhere? Even if you quit working for a company and go to a public employment service, you’ll be judged for being too picky about work Is a life that’s gone off the rails really trash? Boys, even if you’re trash, It’s fine if you don’t become a good person There’s no good or bad The line between fitting in or not is always paper thin Your selfishness will become for someone else’s sake one day If you have the time to give thanks, then go do it We are garbage people I’m a garbage human Boys, even if you’re trash, It’s fine if you don’t become a good person If living only for yourself is garbage, Then being garbage is fine It’s your life – you’re the one that needs to take responsibility for it No matter how low you are, there is a place you’ve been dreaming of For me, it’s here Where is it for you? We are garbage people I’m a garbage human Notes: *I feel like “I’m human trash” works better in English, but the “I’m a” being in English rules that out **. ***, ****, *****Not sure about these lines, so I’d take them with a grain of salt I'm a クズ人間 / I’M A KUZU ningen I’M A KUZU ningen Gakkou, shokuba, katei sumi ni oiyari mikudasareta KUZU nihon daihyou no wareware no gyakushuu o ima hajimeyou Ii hito FUCK YOU!!!

My faves アルカラ (Arukara) will release a new album sometime this year! It's their first since their 2015 LP. No other info such as release date has been revealed yet. There is, however, a new making-of video with footage from the recording sessions (which is basically how the news got out lmao) HYPE

I've gone to all of them since vol. 5 and it's become a bit of a tradition for my friends and I - especially because it's so cheap - but I'm not sure I'm feeling it this year.

Ex-Suck a Stew Dry guitarist Fuse Tatsuaki's band yorunitokeru is releasing a new mini-album titled "perfect white fictions" on April 30th. They released a free mini-album in 2015, and I guess it must have done good things for them, because they uploaded all the tracks from the new release for free streaming today. They'll be up until the release date, if anyone is interested. perfect white fictions 1.halation 2.paranoia 3.diva 4.parade 5.conscious 6.nightmare You can stream the songs here: https://eggs.mu/artist/yorunitokeru Website: https://www.yorunitokeru.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/yorunitokeru_ ^I always get the feeling that Fuse watched one angsty VK MV too many as a teenager...
