Visual-Kei DEATHGAZE will be indefinitely on hiatus

[Zeus 7997]

they need to fire Ai

I think you misspelled "disband DEATHGAZE". Ai IS DEATHGAZE. No Ai, no DEATHGAZE.

[beni 2149]

I ONLY SAW THIS NOW? HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL NAW.

No seriously, my heart.. why do most of the best band go on hiatus.. and an indefinite one!?

Hoping this isn't the end!

 

Edit - *looks below* nekkichi-san, so mean! D':

[nekkichi 6042]

this is awful, but i truly hope sadie are next

[Messenger84 253]

Members stated that they reached maximum with "ENIGMA" and there is no point to release more. Sounds like disbandment!

 

BTW

They've been 11 year on scene, performed with many great bands. I feel sorry for them now when they have to perform between Neo boys bands. Times changed, many "real" vkei bands gone and they felt the same..time has come to say goodbye.

[Lestat 2167]

I truly dislike how it's such a trend to disband quickly in this scene. Eleven years isn't long at all compared to western metal bands and such. 

[shizukasou 47]

As much as it displeases me, maybe a hiatus will help their creativity, yeah...Many other bands could use a break actually, imo. I think all these releases Japanese bands produce in short periods of time often result in early burnouts, but that's just my two cents. Wishing the best for them anyway, regardless of what they decide to do after this pause...

[Trombe 22025]

their book "DEATH BOOK VOL.7" will be available for ordering through their official web-shop since 2014/12/18 and will be delivered in late 2015/02

[Sakura Seven 593]

About time.

[Rosebetz 302]

Kinda feel sorry for them going on the HIATUS but i still believe the will come back with new greater ideas for songs ^^

[Shir0 1303]

^ Yes!!! a German proverb says 'Hope is the last to die!'

[Furik 832]

Members stated that they reached maximum with "ENIGMA" and there is no point to release more.

 

I hope, for their sake, that isn't true. ENIGMA is a horrible way to end their career. If they are to call it quits, they should've quit after DECADE. No, after THE CONTINUATION. ENIGMA and CREATURE were horrible albums.

considering most of their good song ideas are stolen elsewhere, they probably finally hit THE artistic block

[Elazmus 1873]

Random but does anyone else forget that the album Bliss Out happened ? I even find myself listing their new albums as Creature - Enigma, even though I definitely listened to Bliss Out.

I still like them but this is pretty interesting and lists all the plagiarized songs.

Wow, now thats a surprise didnt know that..., well...

These are so off. How on earth does Vice sound like Redeemer for example? I definitely got D'espairsRay vibes but I wouldn't call it plagiarism.

there's a more accessible list of what they've stolen, and a lot of it sounds 1:1 sans Ai's vocals (which I personally always prefer over original western vox., but it still sucks to know how little good stuff they actually came up with themselves.)

[blackdoll 907]

I think you misspelled "disband DEATHGAZE". Ai IS DEATHGAZE. No Ai, no DEATHGAZE.

late but i guess because he is an original member or last. anyway forming a new band without him would work too since they are no longer worthy of having death in their name.

[smilesxchibi 265]

Their drummer is the other remaining original member. So without them it isnt DEATHGAZE

[Furik 832]

omg they played scatologist.

That last set list was pretty solid.

I hope they recorded it.

What's with the third encore? They just played the same song four times?

[rekzer 599]

^ they probably switched member positions like they always do each time.

 

weird that they barely played anything from ENIGMA. I know the album would sound a hell of a lot better live. without the robot voice.

[freesia 714]

Does anybody know what Ai is up to now?

[DogManX 179]

Well the album just sucked. In retrospective we know they just did it to be done with it.

 

 

As far as this "disbanding" goes, well... I didn't notice a thing. Because Ai's solo project is Deathgaze. It's the same fucking thing, same sound, same composer, same vocalist. And I for my part do not expect naything relevant from this band to come, so they might as well disband. Their greatest songs were almost all plagiates.
