Mamo 1172 Posted January 19, 2018 @Jigsaw9 The vocalist was really good but the rest of the band was rather mediocre. I wish the vocalist would have continued though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they're pretty good actually and they're the only vk BAND I know of on "Metallum" https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Qeddeshet/3540431115 Also their latest EP "COCYTUS" is on Spotify: Edited January 21, 2018 by Mamo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VkBrutaliaN 1890 Posted January 21, 2018 to keep this topic rolling what are some styles you would love seeing brutal kei bands starting to incorporate within their music? like black metal/doom metal/grindcore or whatever? since i am a huge sucker for everything "...core" i'd love to see some bands using some downtempo/beatdown elements within their music... there are only a very few rare occasions with bands using such elements but like for example the beginning of DEVILOOF's song "M.F.JAP" is total beatdown gloriousness... although in case there would be more bands using downtempo/beatdown elements i don't even wanna think about all those cute dressed up girls doing hardoce/slamdancing just in case. its already total ridiculous within none Vk... 1 Mamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mamo 1172 Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) @VkBrutaliaN Check out the above band. An to answer your question, I would like to see some "black metal" and more "Dark ambient" stuff. I think I once heard mention of a vk band doing "noisecore"? Edited January 21, 2018 by Mamo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VkBrutaliaN 1890 Posted January 21, 2018 when i heard of the band QEDDESHET forming and there band concept even before they released the first listenable sample i was pretty excited but the excitement faded away pretty fast... imo they sound totall uninspired and boring... also one very big gripe i have with them is that nothing about their sound says "Vk" to me... take american band X and replace them with QEDDESHET and you won't hear/notice any difference... 1 Mamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(American_band) you being sarcastic? Anyway I like them alright but I don't think they're the greatest thing ever or anything. They sound more like a real western "death metal" band. Edited January 21, 2018 by Mamo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VkBrutaliaN 1890 Posted January 21, 2018 ^ according to what they claim themself (and also from what it sounds to me) they play "deathgrind"... also if you like them thats cool - no offense!^^ there's nothing being more diverse than musical tastes! and with american band "X" ~ WTF!? i just meant X in sense of a place holder and not knowing that there is an american band actually called simply X for real... XD 1 Mamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VkBrutaliaN 1890 Posted January 22, 2018 there would be tons of bands to add to the list ;D but yeah DiSPiИA definitely about FIXER haven't heard their latest single yet since no one uploaded it to youtube so i can't tell yet if their new maxi single is again a brutal kei worthy release ~XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VkBrutaliaN 1890 Posted January 23, 2018 @Mamolistend to FIXER's "ARBITER" maxi single now and gotta say it was pretty good (as i hoped from the samples) imo cuz they only released boring stuff since they joined starwave that with this new release the are like 80% back to previous form. 1 Mamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesR 119 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) It looks like the "Nu-Metal Apocalypse Revival" is in full swing on the VK scene... I mean, how many nu-metal VK bands rose to prominence in the last 5-6 years? DEZERT, Kuroyuri To Kage, DAMY, Piglow in Gloomy, Mamireta, Bless This Mess, Savage, even NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST adopted some pretty strong influences. Funny thing is those bands' material is better than most of the drivel shoveled out by Western bands like Coal Chamber and some other third-string acts... Anyways, enough off-topic! imo D.I.D. are the kings of brutal kei: Agressive but technical riffs, some of the harshest vocals in the scene and killer bass lines and drums Edited January 23, 2018 by JamesR do you even grammar, bro? 3 Mamo, appl- and Wakarimashita reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
