fitear1590 2414 Posted April 27, 2011 Nemesis (네미시스)Nemesis is a Korean rock band. Jigsaw9 originally introduced them to me in the thread where I was searching for "light, romantic VK"-type music in other countries. As of right now, this band wins. Their style is generally soft. Sometimes melancholic, but always dramatic, they have lots of orchestration and piano, which really kicks the pants off of some VK bands (Matenrou Opera comes to mind; guh, their cheesy keyboards!). They also have pleasant moments with a nice neo-classical sound or impressive guitar solos. What really separates them from their VK contemporaries is a pretty non-visual appearance and GREAT vocals, haha. Now I realize there's the exception every now and then, but VK doesn't really pride itself on technically great vocals. OMG, TETSU FROM MALICE MIZER IS SO EMOTIONAL THOUGH!I've listened to their two albums, La Rose de Versailles (2005) and Lovesick (2009) and I highly approve of both! Both albums have one track that doesn't exactly live up to the band's sound ("Quean" and "Break Up" respectively), but the other tracks more than make up for them.Please check this band out!Samples from La Rose de Versailles: Samples from Lovesick: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anieresus 270 Posted April 30, 2011 Wow I love the symphonic influence in their songs, they sorta remind me of Secilia Luna especially their song eternity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rikurikufu 3 Posted August 3, 2011 I love this band!! Though they're still on a long hiatus. I'm waiting for their comebacks so bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitear1590 2414 Posted August 3, 2011 Yay, another fan! And tell me about it, this hiatus sucks! Do you know when they plan to come back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted August 3, 2011 Don't hold your breath at least for the moment. The reason for their current hiatus are because most of the members are doing military service at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rikurikufu 3 Posted September 10, 2011 They're not in hiatus anymore!! They releases new album entitled The Piano. Finally! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitear1590 2414 Posted September 12, 2011 Yeah, thanks for posting the exciting news!Just so everyone knows, their "3rd Album Part 1" is entitled "The Piano". The tracklist is below:01 우리는 사랑이었을까02 Last Scene03 엔딩 크레딧 (Ending Credit)04 패러글라이딩 (Paragliding)05 꿈을 꾸지 않았으면06 악플 (Feat. EVE 김세헌)07 오빠가 잘못했어08 엔딩 크레딧 (Ending Credit) (Inst.)Here's the new music video, Ending Credit: I thought the album was really solid, but I suppose if I had any complaints, it's that they need a little more variety. I love their style, but if they put out a fourth album of similar stuff, people might start getting tired of it.By the way, what do you guys think "3rd Album Part 2" could be? Maybe instead of "The Piano", a focus on another instrument?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted September 13, 2011 I'd like to check these guys out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rikurikufu 3 Posted October 5, 2011 Word. I'm thinking about the same thing, this band are great but they need something different to offer in their next album. Otherwise, it'll be so boring. About the "3rd Album Part 2", i'm hoping, they will make "The Guitar" because i'm so into Ha Sebin's solo guitar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JukaForever 758 Posted May 24, 2013 Finished listening to Lovesick and Piano, I pretty much agree to previous descriptions of this band but I think I would need to get really accustomed to Korean singing in a rock enviroment. It just doesn't sound as hard or edgy, instead it is smooth and strong with easy transitions to light sounding rhythms. Pretty cool band overall and unique in their own rights Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orangetarts 249 Posted July 25, 2013 Late reply is late as fuck, but i LOVE these guysssss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitear1590 2414 Posted January 11, 2014 What the fuck!?!?! Their new single doesn't sound like them at all... Well, vocally, you can still tell it's Nemesis, but the music has gone a rather K-poppy direction...Feeling very strange about this. I wonder if there next full release will be in this style (really hope not) or if this is just a one-time thing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted January 11, 2014 Yeah...I don't really like it that much either. It's not even good K-pop, haha. Actually it reminded me of ViViD for some reason. I really do hope this is a one-time thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fitear1590 2414 Posted February 24, 2015 New song "Jekyll" to rinse away the awfulness that was "GO AWAY"! It sounds like they're back to their usual selves, yay!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_Jc9eWq2vAAnd live version: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
