-NOVA- 3027 Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) DIE/MAY will release their Debut album ODIUM on 2018.11.23. Since the departure of their former vo. Seiki the band feels completely different and this new sound sounds pretty promising. I'd like to know everyones thoughts on this Edited November 9, 2018 by -NOVA- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

colorful人生 2777 Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) Just adding a post before this thread gets locked :P. The instrumentals are not bad, but the vocals and the mixing of the vocals is pretty bad. Some of the songs sound like the vocalist recorded in the bathroom and then dubbed over the existing track. The over-enunciated/accented Japanese has and continues to be a deal breaker for me, but that's stating the obvious. Overall, they've improved, but they need more work. (Honestly, I feel like this is the case with many gaijin-kei bands that are at least semi-talented) Edited November 9, 2018 by colorfuljinsei 1 suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted November 9, 2018 always excited for a gazette parody album! I'm glad one of them learned how to blend/gets a better photoshop treatment x 1 emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvrgf 1182 Posted November 9, 2018 I forgot DIE/MAY was even a thing. To be honest, once Seike left and they changed their style, I completely lost interest. Tsuomasu could arguably be considered more technically capable than Seike (though for as much as I like Seike, that really isn't saying much), but I find his voice a lot less interesting/more forgettable. Having said that, I will say the previews were a lot better than I was expecting them to be, though riotcolor's mixing skills still leave a lot to be desired and I feel like the music suffers somewhat because of it. Definitely promising, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmny 4139 Posted November 10, 2018 reigning queens of gaijin kei!!! tbh the mix of the vocals is perfect because i dont want to hear them but the instrumental mix is incredibly rough like the drums sound sequenced and the guitar tone is way too trebly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axius 2019 Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Die/May has been through a lot of weired style changes they really need to scrap this band and start over the sample doesnt does that bad its just i get annoyes at the double voices. His screams are on point when they arent mixed with weird voice changers and sht. Edited November 22, 2018 by Axius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kuyashii 124 Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Those are some seriously good harsh vocals! Not too big on the cleans nor the songs themselves though Edit:DeG wants their songtitles back! Having one track sharing a name with another artist is okay, but two? Edited November 28, 2018 by kuyashii Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ahnchc 309 Posted November 30, 2018 Woah. Got some serious DeG vibes from "THE UNTOLD HYPOCRISY". His accent is pretty noticeable, but imo they sound like any shitty VK band. They're just gaijin. They definitely sound better than when Seike was the vocalist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
