Visual-Kei Sadie will be on hiatus & new maxi single "Voyage" release

[diamondAss 114]

i liked the song, PV not that much. although i think everything sounded and looked more of a permanent goodbye. i somehow feel sad about the hiatus. probably because so many great bands have disappeared from the present scene already. and so many will in the future.........

[ghost 2687]

Okay.

I can't be the only one who heard Power Rangers in the guitar solo of Call of Pain. 

 

[Elazmus 1873]

both of the b-sides are such classic Sadie style

End of the World seems like a heavy song written in the style they used on the remakes from the BLEACH mini (what I strongly wanted on the album)

 

 

^^^^Power Rangers yes I heard it too lmao!! and somehow it made me feel harder

[Yukimoto 1237]

@Noodle That's because Power Rangers was amazing LOL

Oh

[Elazmus 1873]

haha kyo look. good though

[doombox 4421]

It's like Dir en grey and Gazette had a baby. XD Still looks nice, though. 

[Lestat 2167]

So Mao is Kyo, Mizuki is a blond mixture of Aoi and Kaoru, Aki is Toshiya, Kei is Shinya with short hair, and Tsurugi is Uruha?

[doombox 4421]

I was seeing Mizuki as Uruha and Tsurugi as Kai/Shinya too, but your version works just as well. lol

[Des 289]

They'll rename themselves to 'Dir en zettE' one day

[Deathtopi4 428]

Love Mao's floppy-looking hat lol

[Trombe 22025]

[Zeus 7997]

For a band going on indefinite hiatus they sure spent a lot of time and money promoting themselves with this new look...

[LIDL 692]

I am not sure what's the point of new look

when they are on hiatus?

[Deathtopi4 428]

I wonder what's up with the numbers?

[saishuu 3220]

gotta give them props for going on hiatus 10 years later the same way they started out, as a DEG copy band.

To be fair, they sounded more like indie GazettE when they first started. Me personally, for the most part, I didn't hear DEG influences until Madrigal (and the piano opening in Parasitic Scene).

Rant

Take these songs for example:

-Meisai

-M.F.P.

-Children of despair

-Silent Eve

-Ice Romancer

-Crimson Tear

-Swallow Rain

-Ever

-crymore

-rainfall

-koe

-voyage

Do any of these songs sound like DEG? Besides some songs being dark and heavy, in melody and style there's not much similarity. And these are songs both early and late in their career. They've taken influence from a lot of other bands too. Some parts of "awaki gunjou" remake sound exactly like parts of lynch.'s "ambivalent ideal". And let's not forget "Suicidal Rock City" intro ripping off the GazettE "vortex". Call them out when they deserve it but give them credit where it's due. They're not just a DEG copy band and, when they choose to, they've proven they can write some great music.

Rant end

I think Mao's look is the only thing that was Diru-esque. I mean c'mon, when have/will Diru ever attempt something like GANGSTA?

This couldn't be any farther from the truth. While it is true that many of their songs and albums are Dir en grey influenced(some borderline rip offs), they have a crap ton of material that's downright original. Master of Romance, Cold Blood, Gangsta, and hell, even Voyage are perfect examples of this.

That Dir en grey copy band joke is so overplayed, it's not even chuckle worthy anymore. Granted I'm not a big fan of them but they clearly have proved themselves to be able to stand on their own.

[nekkichi 6043]

I srsly wish most of their music was as well done as this final (?) photoshoot tbh

not surprised they're serving face like mad before going on hiatus, those closet child record leftovers should go!!

[RED RUM 49]

^ bless.

[kyoisKILLINGME 195]

yeah everytime i look "Dir en grey copy band omg!!" seriously its not funny no more ==;;
