jduv86 224 Posted May 10, 2013 D.I.D. -VS- Nocturnal Bloodlust Aggressive as sh**. Heavy as sh**. REALLY AWESOME SH** that they play! Who's better D.I.D. or Nocturnal Bloodlust? Personally, I prefer Nocturnal Bloodlust. The harsh vocals I think are one of the best currently in music. Also, I feel that even though I like auto tune every now and then, D.I.D. uses it WAY too much while the vocalist in NB just seems to naturally have it. Thoug neither band is doing anything extremely new, I feel Nocturnal Bloodlust has better song writing as well structure wise. Outside of the music, I enjoy the fashion sense (yes, I look at fashion along with the music too) of NB for than D.I.D.....so yea...Nocturnal Bloodlust overkill for me...BUT what do YOU think?

Dark Kinma 960 Posted May 10, 2013 I prefer D.I.D and I don't like N.B (I like just two song of them...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rize 1593 Posted May 10, 2013 I love Akane but I'd go for NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST. Hiro's voice is just too amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greyen 173 Posted May 10, 2013 Nocturnal Bloodlust wins this one easily for me, Hiro is a way better vocalist. And I completely agree with his harsh vocals being completely top notch for the scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miyuu 40 Posted May 10, 2013 i voted Nocturnal Bloodlust .i think hiro is way better vocalist too. and i agree with @jduv86 's opinion. (except the best vocals in the scene part ,not sure about that) D.I.D. vocals annoy me so much.i have a serious problem with his vocals. (from the pvs only because i didn't listen anything more after seeing the pvs . i don't understand how people listen to that. seriously. wtf is these vocals.lol . also i hate autotune.) as for fashion sence. they are ok both.i like them. they are pretty similar, aren't they?(i find more attractive Nocturnal Bloodlust vocalist though lol.random) also that new pv spot of N.B. was so awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kodama-kun 25 Posted May 10, 2013 I really like Akane's vocals. I think it's way better in D.I.D. than in para:noir (there was a LOT of auto-tune and it didn't sound so good). Hiro has a weaker singing voice, but his screams are better than Akane's, I think. Their music is similar. I think NB is a bit heavier, but I think the sound of D.I.D. is better. So I voted for D.I.D. Also, NB's PV preview was really awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted May 10, 2013 If NB were still doing their non-visual deathcore thing they would be an obvious choice for me, but the way things currently are: D.I.D. all the way! They manage to keep me entertained (eventhough it sometimes borders on the ridiculous), while Nocturnal Bloodlust I find terribly soulless and run-of-the-mill. It's funny because I loved that new PV preview of theirs, so I went back and listened to the VK stuff I've been missing out on from them but just...nope. 1 blackdoll reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeus 7997 Posted May 10, 2013 I don't like D.I.D at all, but there's something to be said to a band that sticks to their ideals. Nocturnal Bloodlust has just bugged me since they've turned visual kei because they seem to be going through the motions more than playing music they want to play. I said it when they first switched and I still stick by it now. However, NB is just head and shoulders above D.I.D so I have to choose them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Velovelo 18 Posted May 10, 2013 D.I.D. kind of irritates me, especially with Providentia. The way he uses his voice makes me cringe a little, even though I know he can sing really well. But there are so many random peaks and screechy notes in there. I cannot consistently enjoy it. It gets downright irritating at times, and that makes me sad. Nocturnal Bloodlust is another thing going into a direction I don't particularly like. The use of Melodyne and Autotune really ticks me off at times, and it really sounds like they don't really enjoy what they are doing, somehow. Their first two songs under the new name were nice, but it quickly went downhill afterwards. I'd call it a draw, but I'll give Nocturnal Bloodlust my vote, because their potential for great music is marginally higher to me. Mind you, I don't really like either of them at their current state, but D.I.D. will probably not do it for me at any stage of their lifetime. I just hope that NB will at least gradually drop that autotune crap, because I sincerely cannot bear it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greyen 173 Posted May 10, 2013 Obligation was the only song they have produced with autotune though, unless I'm deaf. besides their last single "referring to disaster and not unbreakable" did not sound any different then the stuff they released before going visual. On top of that they have all of those songs not counting their first demo on the album. So people who say they forgot about their origins, in my opinion have no idea what they are talking about.

Velovelo 18 Posted May 11, 2013 Yeah, Obligation is the song that put me off. It's not a good idea to feed your vocals to a computer if you can sing well enough and the FX isn't properly utilised. Autotune doesn't fit them, and I'd be happier if they dropped it, as they never use it to do something that benefits the song itself with it. It just sounds out of place.

Licio123 181 Posted May 11, 2013 DID just didn't do it for me. I found the vocalist really annoying, though instrumentally, it's a very good band. But it kinda annoyed me, the vocalist mainly just growls, growls, growls and that's it. At least NB has a more diverse pattern, being aggressive without extreme growling. And their songs are great. So, NB takes this one easily for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Augie1995 325 Posted May 11, 2013 Oh. man. A tough one for me. Well, I absolutely love D.I.D, they have been awesome and they used to be just as awesome back when they were para:noir... but, Akane's voice always autotuned and just doing that same high pitched screaming and MMMMMMMM growls gets annoying. I just got into NB and HIro's voice just blows me away non-stop. I can tell you that the pace and fast-action instrumentation in their song Rise Above from their Last Relapse single beats most D.I.D songs for me. When it comes to heaviness, D.I.D is more of the janitoraI-style, sweeping all around and then breakdowns with most songs unless they decide to have some sweeping solos. Nocturnal Bloodlust's breakdowns actually sound different and distinguished, plus the guitar work is absolutely spectacular. Both bands are amazing but in the end, I'm more excited for Nocturnal's new album than any release from D.I.D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PumpkinPatches 48 Posted May 30, 2013 As someone who actually follows both these bands and goes to their lives... UGH. May as well ask me which foot I'd like to cut off. I'm going to go with Nokubura, mostly because their newest album is FANTASTIC. DID's new single is great, but on par with everything on Grimoire... it just isn't fair right now.

nullmoon 784 Posted July 20, 2013 I much prefer D.I.D. to Nocturnal Bloodlust. The latter group is pretty derivative of Western deathcore. While some of their songs really kick ass, I feel that D.I.D. are much stronger and inventive musically. The guitar work is much better as well; sweeping actually takes skill. I don't really get this auto-tune argument as well, they hardly use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoseOfHizaki 131 Posted July 21, 2013 Hmmm, strangly enough I loved Akane's vocals in Para:noir, especially for Merciless Sorrow & the code number [13.] I have been listening to D.I.D but I'll have to listen to their stuff again just to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mitsubana Posted July 21, 2013 Personally I prefer D.I.D. Not a fan of Nocturnal Bloodlust~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
togz 2004 Posted July 22, 2013 Nocturnal is definitely my choice I used to follow akanes projects, but my interest changed I guess. But hey I guess Hiro used to live in Seattle Washington? That's where I live so I guess that's pretty cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elazmus 1873 Posted July 7, 2014 D.I.D.... I still can never get into Nocturnal Bloodlust 1 nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoseOfHizaki 131 Posted July 7, 2014 Nocturnal Bloodlust no contest. I think when i made my above comment i hadnt even heard of N.B let alone started listening to them. I wish N.B had more material available though. I really like their stuff but ive always been into the heavier side of music anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaolan974 6185 Posted July 13, 2014 DID because I like Akane since julius. He has something to say in his lyrics. He has a strong personnality. Musicians are really good too. I love their concept since Para:noir. I like NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST too but...I didn't like when they became a Visual band instead of "normal metal band". I think they just did this because they wanted more fangirls... 2 zaa_zaa and Elazmus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
