Interesting textures in places, Kyo isn't grating at all and a few sukekiyo-esque curveballs that I'm thrilled to hear. It's still unfortunate that they're married to this particular alternative/nu-metal riffing that makes the backbone for most of their material. Nostalgically longing for the time when their albums had incredible diverse riffing across the board.

The bright colours contrasting with the darker more muted background is a nice touch.

This is the first reworking that I'm kind of indifferent on, I like the original too much, haha. Still, the mini should be good.

This should be good! Can't wait

R.I.P. bassman, what a cool band history! I'm mostly familiar with Berry, love his work there.

hey hey! Welcome

Just now started playing Xenoverse 2 last night! my granny hands are trying to get used to playing DBZ games again after so many years (I think the only one I can actually play these days is Budokai LMAO), but at least I'm trying i'm not paying for ps premium so I'm not doing online quests or battles or anything, just doing story mode like a normal casual gamer :v

Drums The Band. I miss the guitarist from Rands, he was a talent. The songs from this project have the right idea, but the production values need to match

@disposable My problem back in the day is I really latched onto accusing them of being unoriginal because of their song DIE KUSSE basically being a metalcore version of Filth in the Beauty. So everything else they did I just couldn't accept other than being some copy of something else and I was just really stuck up my butt about it. At the same time, I was really into Grieva and they are probably the most notorious about rippin on dir en grey so like, looking back, can't help but be like wow I was really pretentious and annoying huh? LOL!! I don't really know when I got over myself but I got really into Penicillin and at some point I couldn't help but notice Tsuzuku's singing reminding me so much of Hakuei's singing. I was hooked after that, he's a fun and versatile singer. Otherwise, Mejibray dominated and held everyone's attention for a reason and that's probably why they had so many haters lmao.

https://open.spotify.com/album/4JD9Kc2ielql1Bg6TWlVRG?si=3if91nEyQ7-g4PN1Iu_tMA Their new release is their last single + a couple songs that didn't make it into the collection albums from after they disbanded. "CRAZY MOTHER" is apparently a rerecording of "XxxX MASTER" and "Saijun" is a remake of "Gemini" with their second vocalist.

As much as it pains me to link a video with AI-generated images in it... here's the other PV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjorXwRAz0k This one has Imai's fingerprints all over on it, musically. Fun groovy tune.

Trailer for the album with a sample of "Kiss My Blood": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMm0GRZwGpc Sounds pretty nice so far imo, love the energetic Tetsu drums (and the overall sound seems stronger and livelier than the last album too, at least to me).

Great to have you join!
