Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted September 6, 2019 Does anyone know who owns Chaotic Records? Their CDs are released under them, and they use Speed Disk Distribution for distribution. I assume CR is a record label formed by one of the band members, but I'm also seeing on vkgy that another (or same?) label with the same name also housed CalorZe.

Gonna make a random guess, one of calorze's guitarist was in a random band in the past with Mar, from what I can tell Mar sort of runs the show in Verxina so idk maybe those 2 are the ones running it or came up with it Also just checked again and calorze also has another guitarist who played in hiro's gossip so idk theres some connection there probably Edited September 6, 2019 by chipathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kabukichoatmidnight 269 Posted September 8, 2019 I've always been a little confused how labels work in V Kei as a lot of bands do seem to just make up their own labels. haha. Like are they officially registered companies? Or is it just a name for distributors to identify the band to? It's pretty weird. I'm assuming a lot of bands are more or less 100% DIY as well and don't have a "proper label" getting everything sorted for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy coffee 1476 Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Looks like an important notice from the band but i cant read it, anyone wanna give a tldr translation? Seems to involve coco so hopefully nothing bad Edited September 13, 2019 by chipathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ambivalentideal 183 Posted September 14, 2019 Just watched their two PVs; I actually really like this band! But that might just be because their PVs look/sound like they could have been released in like 2008-2009 and I'm a slut for that era lmfao. Their look reminds me of Nega or something, I really dig it. 2 Kabukichoatmidnight and monkeybanana4 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A really nice blend of being heavier but retaining that typical melodious side of V Kei as well which not many bands seem to balance quite as well. (in my opinion anyway, often is a bit black and white with a lot of bands) But tbh I lost interest a bit in them after their full length, not that it was a bad album but just all seemed pretty samey, so feeling like I have enough Verxina to keep me occupied for a while, so unless they release anything exceptionally amazing it'll probably stay that way. But the two singles and full length are enjoyable at least if you're interested in them. 1 ambivalentideal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean, I think many recent bands have been leaning towards one or the other and not as much a combination of the two, which is kinda what I think of when I think VK. So that's cool to hear. I'll definitely check them out a bit further. Thanks for your input 1 Kabukichoatmidnight reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGM_Oficial 1964 Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) What's their problem with covers? I mean, they take too long to release cover art and, in the meantime, we have to rely on scans from stores, when available. Edited January 5, 2020 by IGM_Oficial Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleepy coffee 1476 Posted March 13, 2020 Zikiru has officially departed verxina after their oneman a day or two ago and he will now be support bassist for Pisarro. On the other hand verxina will have 2 bassists filling in as support for upcoming lives, Yoshi who was in catfist and supporting Laplus, and also Taishi ex. DIMLIM who also happened to be the bassist in Hiro's previous band Varyl. 1 nekkichi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) I've been digging these guys, but scaling back the synths on their new single really did wonders to their sound imo. The songs themselves are golden too. I feel like this is some of their best work yet! "link" especially made me nostalgic (totally has that 2003-2005-ish vk vibe, haha). I hope they'll release another longer record soon, maybe a mini album. Edited March 14, 2020 by Jigsaw9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
