BrenGun 2261 Posted January 16, 2019 His voice is a typical VKei voice nothing special, doesn't give the music any real extra feeling. which makes vkei in general totally boring for me tho. Can't they just give us their real voice? But, melody is nice, but can they also do it like this live? how would be his voice without filter 😛 Because then you notice if a band is really that skilled So if they ever pour out any live footage, please share it!~ After all I give them Hopefully they will stay alive longer than 2 years o.o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And you have to hear a band live to judge if someone can hit the tones how they have recorded them. verxina recorded shizzel is listenable, but the voice of the vocalist,, mmm it's as so many others... But since you saw them, If you cannot remember it, then it was neither good or bad. amazing or bad vocalists you always remember 😛 unless you are drunk as...

Jigsaw9 6783 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Nice newcomer band! They actually caught my ear because of the vocals, haha. And then the instrumentals are competent and nice too. Of course, it's early to judge but their first two singles gave them a really promising start imo. Can't wait to see what they can offer us through a full album... I just hope they have enough steam to make it exciting, seeing how young of a group they are (unlike, say, MEJIBRAY did with their first full-length).

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted January 16, 2019 I loved their first music video: it was a nice mixture of mid-2000's influences, modern influences, and the melodic chorus really sold me. I don't think I've listened to their second single yet, but I am glad that they have gotten enough momentum to put out an album already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's hardly any live footage but the last 40 seconds of this video shows what he can do. I agree with everything else you said though, he's not amazing or anything and the band feels like it's lacking something. Still gonna check out the album though.

BrenGun 2261 Posted January 17, 2019 @Tanishi Ah... no that's not his live voice at all, they tuned it up and added it to the video. haha... But if I can watch this band someday live, I surely gonna watch them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted May 3, 2019 This album of theirs is so fucking vk from top to bottom that it'll take time for me to digest it properly before I'm able to decide whether this stuff is awesome or not. Does anyone know who's their composer? Their synth at least sounds exactly what I've heard from Himegoto. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monkeybanana4 1732 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Yup, the composer for all their songs is the drummer, Mar (credited in the lyrics booklet). Edited May 3, 2019 by monkeybanana4 2 sleepy coffee and Karma’s Hat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted May 3, 2019 thanks for a really quick response. i was probably too quick on the trigger to assume that the one guy with an ex-crazy synth band was the composer when pretty much all of them come from crazy synth bands. this really is the ultimate shit kei superband 2 Marchen and helcchi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kabukichoatmidnight 269 Posted May 6, 2019 Really liking what they've put out so far, a good balance between the heavy/more brutal side of vkei and the more melodic side of it. Look forward to seeing what these guys keep coming up with in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
