  2. Members: Vocalist: Aiko (https://twitter.com/Aiko_Senoo) Guitarist: Minos Keyboardist: Caron Description : "Visual Kei / Gothic Metal band born in Tokyo October 12, 2013. It all started by vocalist Aiko, that after thinking a theme and a concept for the band began looking for members. The first to enter was the guitarist, Minos, and the next was the keyboardist Caron. The anniversary of the band is officially the day when the three members went in the studio for the first time together. Post Mortem in Latin means "after death." Aiko wanted to recreate a new "kingdom of hell" inspired by the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri; then made the other two members, Minos and Caron, two characters of the Divine Comedy. Since then the band has gone through several moments, but finally the three came from hell were able to complete their first single and they are currently producing their first mini album. Welcome to the afterlife!" Post✝Mortem ~死後~'s first single, "Akuma no Hanayome" has been released. This video contains the official lyrics and english translation for "Akuma no Hanayome". Tracklist: 01.悪魔の花嫁(akuma no hanayome) 02.Endless sleep~永遠の眠り(eien no nemuri)~ (You can download FREE their first single clicking this link! : https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByidhqiYsSm3cWRLMTV4bFp5Tkk&usp=sharing ) Post✝Mortem Official Site & Official YouTube Channel

  4. I'm kinda a regular around here. Some of you at least know me on here No I'm not Japanese and I'm not exactly VK, but my music is influenced by it. Why the weird headline? I'll be straight up with you, I'm a little burned out. I need a vacation. And I'm tired of sending out the same old "Vitne releases new single! blah blah blah" headline. Anyway, December 10th I released my new single (plus the instrumental), a wintery wonderland rock ballad with beautiful artwork hand-drawn by Korean artist IF LEE. Its called "Winter Love Song" - I'm very proud of it. Download it free, or pay-what-you-want (honor system) here: http://musicshop.vitne.net - its also on iTunes and all that. Arigatou, thanks everyone ( )

    Left to right: dr 截-setsu-, Ba: 陽菜-hina-, Vo: 爛-ran-, Gt: 朔羽-sakuha-, Gt: 艶-yoshi- At fist i brushed them off cause they were not hard enough with my skim, then i saw ran's last look and i want to hear the single that went with it and i liked it and then i herd ran's voice forreal and now i kinda love them. He like Kyouki (grieva), mao (sid) + a little bit Yuuki-sama all together. Their flaw is that they kinda are generic but they do it really well. anyway their new song/pv has me hyped out like i would for My #1 Also like that not only is the music is good, but all the members are good looking and can dress, which rarely happens. Could they become my #2 hmmm?

  12. ex-NEGA Vo.儿-JIN- new band "THE BLACK SWAN" has opened their OHP at 2014/01/15, although other member details have not yet been announced http://theblackswan.jp/
  13. So I received my copy a couple hour's ago......Type Shi. Still waiting on Chou anyway's onto the review 1.) THE HOPELESS Okay so let's start off with how amazing this is. I am trying to process all the eargasm that just pounded my eardrum relentlessly. I dont even know where to start, Just holy fuck like okay so....JIN's growling......amazing.....This is like NEGA on steroids. The beginning where he growl's "絶望" just oh my god....It's just like NEGA never left.....like it got way better....The Breakdown and Guitar solo made my ears.....cum. Sorry for saying some gross shit like that but this is just way too amazing for me to handle on so many levels. JIN'S BANSHEE SCREAM IS BACK!!!!! MNNNPGH!!!!! THE BLACK SWAN looks promising.....VERY PROMISING. 2.) HATE YOURSELF UNTIL YOU DIE This.......is the work of a GOD........The guitars and piano and magical esque thing's....I just can't even handle it......This song is very nostalgic. In a way for me it's like NEGA had a baby with Phantasmagoria, like the child is just beautiful. This song is that child, again JIN's banshee scream and his new way of growling. I love it when he screams "HATE YOURSELLLLLLLLLLLLLLF" It's perfect, this is NEGA re-born to the fullest extent. THAT TERM ITSELF IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT BY THE WAY..... THIS GETS A 100/10 Im serious. It's just that good. They took a diarrhea dump on Arlequin with this one. Everything about this is perfect. EVERYTHING BABY. I recommend this to you if you miss NEGA'S sound cause JIN definitely took it with him.

    WRITE-UP: INTRO: The latest album by ALSDEAD, featuring the debut of their new drummer NIKKY (ex. GALEYD), and another obligatory change in their overall sound, feel, and direction. An album that feels much more 'complete' than its contemporaries, with a solid feel and delivery throughout, providing another replay-button-friendly experience to my library. THE SOUND: As similar to previous albums as it is different, they have kept the hard edge to their sound, while putting more emphasis on the individual instruments, and made the vocals fit in more as not necessarily leading the track, with melodies that are still strong and memorable, but do not rise above the value put on the guitars, or other instruments. The signature cinematic ALSDEAD synth sound is back, with an even higher quality than ever. They definitely distinguish themselves as having some of the best synth's today, with more tracks that allow you to pleasurably follow the synth all the way through, and simply enjoy the unique tone, melodic value, and refined nature of production surrounding them. To me, the usual sign of having great tone is having notes that sound not as if they are coming from an instrument, and aren't registered by the listener simply as strings being picked, or keys being pressed on a keyboard, and ALSDEAD definitely accomplishes this on IDEA THE FEEL: The tracks STARLESS and KILL THE KING should give you a starting point of what this album will sound like. It wavers in both directions: Softer with more synths, and harder with more grit and rough guitar. It is atmospheric, yet still comes off as a track-by-track experience, based on emotional expositions, raw emotions put into words that are either carefully articulated in Picture, or rudely shouted in D.9.N. It's emotional, atmoshperic rock-music storytelling that is delivered not with sap and melodrama, but with attitude. HOW IT STACKS UP TO PREVIOUS ALSDEAD ALBUMS: If you have been following them, you have probably noticed that each album marks the end of one term in ALSDEAD's sonic history, and begets another. Their debut had an emphasis on heavy emotions, bad mental states, and a wailing, dramatic sound to match this. MODALITY felt like a series of short stories, with more of a straight-forward rock feel. Seperator felt like one long, interconnected story with a deeply atmospheric feel, and dark, sleepy nature to it in between harder songs. IDEA almost feels like it mixes all of these elements together, while adding in some hard rock, some soft ballad elements, and some 90's rock mechanisms. In terms of overall experience and enjoyment, I think after the initial adjustment to your expectations, and the fact that it doesn't sound exactly like older ALSDEAD, it holds up very well as another great entry into their library. Track Count: 13 Listens: 20-25 Production Quality: Overall Rating: (This rating took some time to think over, as my first impression was of a 4.0, then built up to a 4.5 after about 20 listens, yet if I go with my gut, and realize how every track on this album hits home with me, and how much I am now enjoying it, I have to give it a 5.0) Worth the Purchase? If you have enjoyed their singles since Seperator, and have been a fan in general for any of their past releases, I highly recommend this. A solid album throughout, that shows no signs of inserted filler. The tracks are all solid, none get left behind in memory, each one brings something to the table, and overall this is a stand-out album that brings a lot to the table.
  17. it is announced at THE KIDDIE one-man live "Come check our inferno!!!" at Shinjuku BLAZE at 2014/08/23 that their new album "DYSTOPIA" will be released at 2014/11/26 (2 TYPE) limited edition (3,888yen) will include CD+DVD, and regular edition (3,024yen) will include CD only [CD track list] OMELAS emit. 1414287356 ワンダーワールド(wonder world) 鮫(same) (included in regular edition) 溜息の呪文(tameiki no jumon) (included in regular edition) + 8 new songs [limited edition DVD track list] 01.OMELAS (PV) 02.emit.

  22. Way more mistakes on this one but I hope you enjoy
  23. Well my friend Dj got a hold of THE BLACK SWAN's I SOLATION Live single and shared it with me. I've got to say it was as good as it's demo (the video on youtube). JIN's Banshee cry was as good as always, The guitars and the drums came together very well. My favorite aspect of the song though was RENA's bass playing and the digital'ish techno sound in the song.The sounds give me a feel as though im playing Sonic World Adventure, and I like that. Onto RENA's bass playing, in most song's you cannot hear the bass guitar, and I think RENA did a good job in playing bass. Normally most bands have sloppy bass playing. The sound quality kind of suck's but that;s okay. I'll deal with crap quality if it's a great song. One thing i'm not so strong feeling about is the whining guitar. In THE BLACK SWAN's THE HOPELESS preview, they are amazing. But here, not so much. Overall Makoto and Itsuki are very promising and competent guitarists. I give this track a 9.5 out of 10.
  24. 12012 new mini album "XII" will be released at 2014/10/01 (5 songs, 2,500yen) btw they will hold their last (before indefinite hiatus) one-man live tour "激炎の咆哮(gekien no houkou)" at Nagoya ell.SIZE at 2014/10/11, at Umeda ZEELA at 2014/10/13 and tour final "悲哀と狂気と激情の果てに(hiai to kyouki to gekijou no hate ni)" at TSUTAYA O-East at 2014/12/12

    WRITE-UP: Matenrou Opera returns with an album that tastes like a concept album, yet leaves the over-all decision on whether it is or isn`t up to your interpretation. The term Avalon refers to a place in so-called Arthurian legend, where both the Excalibur was forged, and legendary knights as well as King Arthur himself was buried. Some speculate it to be an island off the coast of Scotland and Wales. The album is laden with sounds reminiscent of Medieval times, and song titles refer to heaven or paradise, which Avalon is a gateway to; that is where the concept album feel plays in, yet the songs actually tell varied tales which can not always be played in to the album`s title, and the inclusion of the previous single A-Side Orb further leads us astray. Concept album or not, this album is definitely not a collection of different tracks or hits thrown together. It plays more like a film cut into different parts, telling different stories, but almost always fitting a certain feel, and that is the experience you get from this album. It has a common title, but the experience is a unique one. The `Opera` touch of the delivery along with a unique vocalist matched with a hard band delivers a one-of-a-kind experience, and I think that is really what you are getting from this album. It`s not another rock album, not another VK album, it is something of its own, and you need to sample the singles from the album to see if you will enjoy this experience. One key thing to keep in consideration is if you like the vocalist and delivery, as this is a comon point of divergence amongst opinion. To me, this more of a sit-down and listen album rather than something you can throw on, although tracks like Orb, 隣に座る太陽 and クロスカウンターを狙え are the tracks I would think you are likely to throw on as stand-alone listens. The album doesn`t use hooks or catches as much as you would expect from a modern album, if you want a comparison, I would say it is more like Versailles from a different era. Track Count: 12 Listens: 15-20 Production Quality: Great sound, yet my personal preference is for a wider sound stage and more clarity in individual intruments, esp. more of the guitars.Though they seem to specifically like putting emphasis on the vocals. Overall Rating: Great album, defined, unique experience, listening on the I will skip some tracks, but if I want to let it play out there are no skip-inducing tracks. Worth the Purchase? For me, this is definitely worth the purchase. Although it is not an album that will get the most rotation. It is something I will keep in my library and bring out on occasion.
