Is GUTS AND DEATH still a thing too? o_O Not sure lol I just checked LSN's OHP and it looks like they don't have anything in their schedule after 10/14. Maybe he's switching over and LSN will stop? 1 Mihenno reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The musicians change everytime. and I don't thing GUTS and DEATH was a serious thing tho... 1 Mihenno reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Musicians change all the time, yes, but it's a different story if said musician is the vocalist (literally the face of the band). It's a lot more difficult to keep a band going once you lose a vocalist (but again, not sure if he's actually leaving LSN... I have literally never heard of them. Can anyone shed some light? Perhaps a different topic is necessary for this discussion?) In any case, this is borderline becoming off-topic lol. Anyone else have thoughts on this new band? Personally, I am pretty excited, despite their apparent copy/classic-rock style XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted August 19, 2018 Just now, echo said: Musicians change all the time, yes, but it's a different story if said musician is the vocalist (literally the face of the band). jsyk they started with hakuei and some no1curr rapper, I lost interest once banshee-pitched chanteuse joined.

madygrain 515 Posted August 19, 2018 OMG! Looks like the LSN is really changing their lineup for their first album and some of the support members decided to keep the ball rolling. This is great news all around. Did Guts and Death ever actually take off? They had tha phone app gimmick to sell their music but did they actually held regular lives all this time? I thought they faded away as LSN activistes ended up being pretty intense actually. 1 echo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think a lot of VK vocalists actually sound much better live. Maybe you'll like him more in future, more polished releases of their songs! If not, hopefully you can get past his vocals and enjoy the music for what is >< Just now, nekkichi said: jsyk they started with hakuei and some no1curr rapper, I lost interest once banshee-pitched chanteuse joined. no clue what you're talking about (nor do I really care lolol) but thanks for the info! I'll go do some research b(^▽^)d 1 platy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps a different topic is necessary for this discussion?) LSN is Ruka's solo project. The thing is that Ruka plays mostly drums. The other members including the vocalist, are support members. He had 3 vocalists come and go from LSN by now. They project won't suffer from it because people don't come from the vo, they come for Ruka. Having a vo. they are familiar with is icing on the cake. In fact Ruka is having the most intense fanclub activities compared to his Nightmare bandmates, who actually sing on their new projects (except for the bassist, ni-ya). This is not a regular band. This is a solo project around the most prolific Nightmare composer doing his own thing with the musicians he sees fit for what he wants to sound like.

I don't know anything about Guts and Death or LSN >< I did a quick search and it seems like there's not much info about them on MH? I did a quick search and it seems even the GnD OHP doesn't offer much info lol if anyone has a source, I can try my hand at translating!

I don't really keep tabs on Nightbare (I literally don't know anything about them lolol), so idk the details, but I'm pretty impressed that a drummer can maintain such a loyal fanbase! Drummers usually have like NO fans lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chemicalpictures 1888 Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) PV Song is pretty boring, but this is good news, nonetheless トゞメの美学 is better, loved the funky guitars, but it's not really different from what kiddie used to do before DYSTOPIA Neither are the other two tracks, but all of them are more interesting than Normcore amd I agree with anyone who said LSN was better with Hakuei, but that's on Ruka who wrote some shit ass songs, Yusa drew the short straw Edited August 19, 2018 by chemicalpictures 1 echo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
