I don't recall Retsu using that guitar live yet as they haven't played Rijin yet, but he is actually quite tall for a Japanese dude (180cm) so that guitar must be huge lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
123Sandman321 377 Posted June 7, 2019 Also, that guitar has the same colour scheme as Sho, so it's not THAT much out of place plus, Gretsch guitars have one of the best clean tones out there. 2 nomemorial and diryangrey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gret 90 Posted June 8, 2019 retsu's outfit is making me feel...things. as for the song itself, took me a few times to get into due to the vocals in the beginning but once it struck, it really struck. Another single on my to-buy list! 1 -NOVA- reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted June 12, 2019 When the A-side came out I thought I was already tired of the blessthefall riffs with the tapping gimmick and all that having gotten tired quick of their last album, but the B-side got me back. The vocals are sick on the entire single, and even if the wank didn't win me on the first track the funny one second long heavy chug around the 1.49 mark is fucking sick and the chorus hook is something else. The technically most able band in vk hands down if they only flaunted it just a bit less 1 nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YuyoDrift 1540 Posted June 12, 2019 Shit, this song takes you for a ride alright. Place me into the group that would call this Vanitas 2.0, as that artistic approach has been kicked up a notch, making the entire track sporadic. It's hard to put it into words but the song is so close to not being listenable due to the amount of ideas thrown into it. I agree with many others here that they need to take it easy considering how well they are doing right now in the VK scene. If its a rival thing with NAZARE then please let us know. I really feel my thoughts have already been mentioned by others but their work really does make everything else out in the VK world right now pale in comparison. There, I said it. 2 -NOVA- and nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish it had gone on for longer, with a gentle fade out. But on the other hand I'm almost thankful they blue-balled us like that, oh, and hatever Sho is doing here in this track fkn slaps.

sleepy coffee 1476 Posted June 13, 2019 Man I'm typically all for making stuff brutal and all over the top but for DIMLIM I dont even care if Sho never screams again with cleans like this 1 platy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmny 4139 Posted June 13, 2019 I love the "itoshisa..." sad disco thing + jazzy saunter + sukekiyoisms + killer vocal melodies + teasing Does it sound unfinished? YES. The song should be like 4 minutes longer to fit in all the ideas (come through attention spans of bangya, they'll never do it). Will i forgive them for it? YES. 3 platy, nullmoon and kuyashii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
