carddass 273 Posted December 3, 2017 On 11/25/2017 at 2:25 AM, Kiyoharu is God said: There's a new SADS album being released next year. And another solo album which won't be a rhythmless release like this upcoming album. So if you're not into the rhythmless stuff you could look forward to that. I don't think he's going to do anything in the tone of KUROYUME's final releases/SADS early releases ever again. I don't know if he can sing like that anymore anyway. I was listening to SAD BLOOD ROCK'N ROLL recently and it's crazy how much different his voice sounds now compared to then... Mr. YA it's like a whole different person singing. Agreed. His vibrato / screamo voice he had the first two or three years in SADS is nowhere to be heard now. Whether it's from stylistic changes or an inability to do so anymore, who knows. I've always speculated that what I imagine are a pack-of-day cigarette habit over 20-30 years probably doesn't help musician stay in their prime for long. Compare that to someone like Ryuichi Kawamura of Luna Sea who after a certain point in his career started being healthier and taking his voice and singing seriously. He's able to do those marathon 70-1100 song concerts and did some mic-less ones and his voice still sounds pretty damn good. It's a shame that his solo work leaves much to be desired. 2 Kiyoharu is God and TheZigzagoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually think Kiyoharu's voice has held up pretty damn well considering he always has a cigarette in hand XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SakuraFox512 99 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) (I haven't seen another thread about the album, so I assume this one is still fine) Update about Kiyoharu's upcoming album "夜、カルメンの詩集" -- the release date has been postponed.
