Visual-Kei Dr. 川瀬 left Thousand Leaves, new OHP & new album

[Zeus 7997]

Bach really needs to announce these things ahead of time...

It's pretty safe to say that at some point in 2011, Dr. 川瀬 (Kawase) left Thousand Leaves. It doesn't appear to be amicable either. There's no mention of Kawase's works (LED, Goodbye Mrs.Humbucker E.P & LIQUIDARIZATION are missing, check it yourself) and Thousand Leaves is touted as Bach's solo project, if that is any extra proof.

Also, Bach has announced the release of a new album IMMORTAL VENGEANCE for December 30th.

Tracklist:

1. Prelude to extinction / 月まで届け、不死の煙（東方永夜抄）

(Instrumental)

2. Immortal vengeance / エクステンドアッシュ ～ 蓬莱人（東方永夜抄）

(Vo.ウェストヴィレッジ)

3. Crimson moonchild / ツェペシュの幼き末裔（東方紅魔郷）

(Vo.ウェストヴィレッジ)

4. Darkest night / 妖魔夜行（東方紅魔郷）

(Instrumental)

5. Days of misery / 緑眼のジェラシー（東方地霊殿）

(Vo.ウェストヴィレッジ)

6. Mystic scherzo / Mystic Dream（東方怪綺談）

(Instrumental)

7. Forever darkness / 平安のエイリアン（東方星蓮船）

(Vo.ウェストヴィレッジ)

8. Finale(Resurrection) / 月まで届け、不死の煙（東方永夜抄）、

エクステンドアッシュ ～ 蓬莱人（東方永夜抄）

(Instrumental)

Here's the new OHP

Damn, that sucks.

I really loved some of 川瀬's stuff, LED had some absolutely amazing songs. Even though I seem to be mostly alone with my opinion, lol.

I've met a few others who like LED

I'd chalk it up to musical differences on this one but I'm not too sure about the dynamics of the band. Maybe Bach wanted to have TL be a strictly melodeath outfit? Maybe Kawase just started releasing albums without telling him? Did Kawase get bored with doujin music? Can't say but all of this really is odd.
