  1. Last Call and farewell...

     

    Again in case anyone wants to stay in touch you can do so via twitter @VkBrutaliaN since i have no means on joining any new forum anytime soon. Of course that could change over time but for now that's how i feel.

    MH was the only forum i ever joined and  it definitely was a fun and very intersting experience throughout all the years.

     

    Now that everything comes to an end i kinda wish i would've been more active here although i guess i was active enough... XD

     

    Anyways as this is officially my last post here, thanks to everyone which made my time here a fun stay and hopefully anyone else will continue to to spread some more LOVE for Brutal系 elsewhere like i tried my best to do here. ;D

  2. Anyone heard of the band FILL THE VOID? They even have a song featuring Hiro from NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST.

     

    When i first discovered them a few days ago i was just sitting there staring at the screen cuz i didn't know how to think of it other than i had no idea that a band can be so ridiculously heavy that it almost gets disturbing...

    But somehow i came back to them and now i love them. ;D

     

    Definitely need to get a physical copy of their 1st EP somehow...

      no he was legit under 20 and couldnt drink alcohol at the time when i saw them but they may have also been under a different name at the time. i assume he's probably over 20 by now. i suppose i could ask my bf who is in the scene but i'm not that invested

       

      i remember liking them live but that was years ago 

    3. VkBrutaliaN

      VkBrutaliaN

      Ah i see how you meant it.

      Yeah from my research a couple days ago they went under a different Name a few years ago and also different Type of music. (Not that heavy)

      And i believe they are with their new Sound and Name around since 2019 but too lazy to luck it up exactly right now.

      Looks like he turned 21 the other day. Time sure does fly.

      Pretty sure I preferred the old sound but i barely remember it 🤔

      Feels weird to be so disconnected from the metal scene because of corona

  3. And finished! 8D

      I'm still waiting for my copies of the last 3 singles :sad:

      ^ Hope you receive them soon, but surely also depends on when you've ordered them.

  4. Although i knew Graupel for many years i just started to like them a few days ago when i listened to their new EP "Fade Away" - what an epic song! And the 2nd song Flashback is ridiculously brutal.

    Check 'em out - it was an instand buy for me! 8D

      wow, this sounds really american, metalcore-ish. esp. track no 1. second track is nice, but IMO, if you go this br00tal, you should go with more br000tal blastbeat, too. 

      thanks for the recommendation, I felt like I heard this type of sound before (metal core-bands from USA)so it did not quite click with me. happy for you for this discovery.

      Well it's pretty rare for me to like japanese Bands with complete english lyrics but these Songs just have something that Really draw me into them.^^ 

  5. This year sucked in many ways for me but at least musically this year was totally AMAZING.

    I discovered so many great japanese none-Vk bands (although Vk still will be my number one "genre") like GOAT, Fushi, Fall of Tears, Farevvell, ONE LAST STAND, kokeshi and the list goes on...

  6. Selling:

     

    DIMLIM - VARIOUS (live ltd. edition)

    DISGUST - Ω-OMEGA- (live limited)

    If anyone is interested in any of these please let me know by contacting me via DM.

    If no ones interested i guess i'll have to wait to sell them until my next visit in japan...

     

    (i think it wouldn't be worth anymore to create an extra thread...)

  7. Does anyone know if there are none-japanese bands which play melodic hardcore with spoken parts like for example Catalysts or Fall of Tears etc.?

    Or is it really only a japanese "thing"?

     

     

     

    1. Jigsaw9

      Jigsaw9

      I myself don't listen to them, but I heard La Dispute employs spoken word parts heavily.

    2. VkBrutaliaN

      VkBrutaliaN

      Thanks for the recommendation.

  8. I am very glad there will be a new forum with J-ROCK ONE to continue what MH was known for.

    But honestly as of now i dunno if i will continue to contribute like here or if i'll just visit as a guest or so called lurker frequently.

     

    therefore just in case, until i know what i wanna do, if anyone wants to keep in touch for trades etc. feel free to do so on twitter @VkBrutaliaN

      I followed you over on twitter (I'm @gaijinjonny). I need to follow my favorite brutal-kei stan!

    2. VkBrutaliaN

      ^ Thanks, i feel honored to hear that! XD

    3. patientZERO

      I've always respected and agreed with what you had to say and most of your taste in music. Haha!

  9. Just finished listening to DEXCORE's [METEMPSYCHOSIS.] and OMG what a sick ride! Definitely album of the year. Tons of cool ideas like in "the Ground". That simple "beep" noises - love it!

     

    Also i was kinda worried about the 2nd Disc with the re-recordings because of the comments i've read before listening BUT i dunno what's the problem!? Imo all re-recording songs are AMAZING. This is re-recording old songs done damn RIGHT.

    I never really liked the drum sound of old DEXCORE so alone for that fact the re-recordings definitely have the right to exist.

    The only thing which is kinda debatable is the Breakdown in "Brain Washing" but since i know that Kagami always did the vocals live the way he did in the re-recordet version i wasn't disappointed at all.

     

    Anyway now only gotta wait until i got my hands on [METEMPSYCHOSIS.] -WHITE-. Can't wait to listen to the last 2 remaining songs. 8D

    1. nekkichi
    2. zombieparadise

      zombieparadise

      the Ground is so good, totally agree. I find that the tracks on disc 2 are either a bit better or a bit worse than the originals, but I'm glad they exist.

  10. If you like progressive metalcore definitely make sure to check out EPHEMERA - Invisible Crowd. Usually i dislike everything with the label "progressive" in it but alone that KILLER riffage from the start - OMG!!

      the best shit ear this year 2020 

  11. Anyone knows the Band Oaktails? Their 1st EP "Unchanged" is pretty amazing!

    Love most of those japanese hardcore bands with "spoken" parts. There's so much emotion within their songs.

  12. This just sounds ridiculously brutal!

     

     

    Always kinda mind baffling how such a band only has 137 views on this video and only 17 subscribers...

      It is... and honestly i guess it's probably only because they are japanese.

      If they would be some american band or whatever i bet they would've got way more exposure compared to what they have now after being active for over 2 years already...

    3. Enki

      Enki

      Theres plenty of american deathcore bands nobody listens to

  13. Always fascinating how many insanely good totally underground japanese metalcore bands exist out there. 

    My latest found "GOAT" GROOVE OF AGE TEDIOUS.

     

     

  14. Oh well here we go again...

    Live houses opened and immediately Bands announce new Live Limited Stuff. It sucks ass to be back at this again but i totally understand it since its the best way to draw an audience to your lives.

    Although i gotta admit when it comes to being total "collector scum" like some People call it, its always an amazing feeling to score some live Limited Stuff.

     

    Also it felt kinda depressing even as an oversea fan when you see some Vk Band opening up some Webshop where they sell a Live Limited CD and still they aren't even able to sell 10 copies within a week.

    Made me wonder how there can be so many Vk Bands around when probably 70% barely make any Profit off of it.

     

    Anyway done with the rant... 😅

      I agree with Zeus that it doesn't bother me as much. Most bands I still listen to have stopped doing them, and now I just avoid new bands that do. Keeps me in a bubble, but it's a wallet-saving bubble~

    3. TheTrendkiller

      TheTrendkiller

      Selling copies in live only is a lot less hassle for the bands. Getting your CD into retail stores, webshops etc is very costly. So this way they don't need to be worried to be left with a huge pile of unsold CD's. 

    4. VkBrutaliaN

      VkBrutaliaN

      @Seimeisen

      Definitely agree about the wallet saving thing and in general thats probably the smartest thing one can do but unfortunately that doesn't Work for me since i'm a huge sucker for new Bands... XD 

  15. If you like underground Post-Metalcore i urge you to check out the band ONE LAST STAND. They fuckin' slay!!

      The vocals on STAY REAL sound like they're with the mic halfway across the room. There's some real potential here, but I think they need more polish.

  16. After around 2 years and 3 weeks i finally finished copying all my 1100+ Cds to my PC.

    I don't even know what to do with my newly won free time... XD

      Although i have to give your suggestion a huge no, at least i learned something new. ;D

  17. It's pretty much exactly 2 years ago since i started the project of copying all my CDs to my harddrive and STILL i am not finished.

    Who would've thought that it will take so long. Sure time and motivation plays a huge role in this but still...

     

    At least i hit finally the V section yesterday and once i am finished with V-Z i only need to rip plenty of caseless CDs... 

    So probably around 200 CDs to go until i'm done...

     

    But once i am finished it'll be surely worth it. Alone the fact that i "re-discovered" tons of bands which i haven't listened to in years or CDs i remember i disliked when i bought them and now i really love them.

    And so far luckily there was only 1 CD-R which got fucked over time. it still plays but there's a constant screeching noice over the song which makes it kinda unlistenable. Luckily it's only one song from a band i don't care about and a ballade - still sucks though.

     

    Anyway - got work to do... XD

  18. In case anyone cares Akane posted a very long story on his twitter about pretty much broke middle-aged bandman?! óÔ

      I just picture Akane screaming "Abe-Ue!"

    3. Tanishi

      It's criticizing middle aged bandmen (pro musicians) who were against japan's government/claiming to be anarchists/all that rock and roll stuff, who are now hypocritically begging Abe for money. Music is a high risk/high reward game so he's saying these times are what they should have expected being experienced musician and that they should step up and inspire their fans to dream in these troubling times (despite being middle aged/going nowhere with dead dreams themselves) using the power of determination or something. That's what public figures are supposed to do and if they can't do that they should quit music because this begging is pathetic.

      It's incredibly blunt and aimed at a very specific audience but it's a fun read (as expected of Akane).

      @Tanishi
      Thanks for a better sum up.
       

      But he is right tho...

      And we all know, and many of us don't do it...

      We know that we shouldn't spent all our money but that we also have to safe up money, so that we can survive for  3 months or longer.  Because it always can happen that something in the world happens or that you will lose your job. 

       

      And Abe said, he will help everybody....

      Do you really think he will let go the "red district" / "entertainment" die?  

       

      But well it goes slower than in the west... but isn't Japan much bigger than most European countries...

      So then stuff also takes longer isn't? Also we shouldn't forget that Japan is still a "Paper"  country.

      While here (Europe) 99% goes digital. 

  19. Because i felt like it i've posted 1 song from the DEXCORE×NAZARE split in the "Requests" forum. (didn't know where else to put it)

    So if you are interested to listen to it go watch it since i'll delete it within roughly 48 hours...

      sorry but where is the "Requests"forum located

    2. VkBrutaliaN

      VkBrutaliaN

      @o0sofuck0oif i remember correctly you can few it only if you have at least 100 posts made on here...

  20. I hate it... out of all Vk live streams of course RONOVELL which had one today and i would've loved to see that, they haven't archived it on their yt channel... >.>

     

    Well at least i was able to watch L.A. bate about a week ago which was crazy cool!

    1. IGM_Oficial

      IGM_Oficial

      It's on th liv archive

  21. I am probably the last person on planet earth who has listened to MISC. by DIMLIM but i finally did it. And DAMN what a positive surprise!! When it was released i only listened to the samples on amazon and had very low expactations because of all the negativity around it and to be honest the 30sec samples all sounded super samy which got me extremely worried.

    But now that i have listened to its entirety i gotta say i LOVE the album!!! There's not one single song i dislike and Sho's voice is so powerful that i don't even miss his harsh cuz he delivers so much variety within his clean vocals its just amazing in every single way. HUGE THUMBS UP!

    (listened to the album 3 times for get some thoughts together)

  22. ...cuz why not and it sounds good...

     

    Yuta Kobayashi - FUCK RESELLER (vocalist of PRAISE)

     

     

    1. seys

      seys

      i feel like this guy doesn't like resellers

  23. For those who liked the Vk band NvM (like myself) their vocalist tomo has a new 2-Man none-Vk band called BLACK SUIT AMARYLLIS which plays basically the same music as NvM.

     

    They are really amazing so far!

     

     

  24. Quite surprised Demo1 and Demo2 of the M-Card for NAZARE's INNOCENCE reg. edition even include fully recorded vocal lines...

  25. I am sure i am pretty much alone on this one BUT richardland by 8P-SB is such a great album!!

    i dislike everything else they've released so far but richardland is really amazing.

    If they can keep up this quality or even TOP this then i can't wait for their next release.

     

    *and just in case - NO i am NOT joking*

    1. Komorebi

      Komorebi

      I’m with you on that. It’s catchy and Koichi’s singing has improved. 

    2. platy

      platy

      It's fun and has great ideas. But I think 8PSB's format works better with short songs. Like 2mins 30.
