On August 1st, Dokubari (毒針) announced several big pieces of news. The first is that support drummer Nii and new guitarist Bakemono (化物) are joining the band. Nii has been acting support since Tenmei (天命) left at the very end of last year. Bakemono is ex-Syozyoseze (生生世世), and ex-ZETU (ゼツ) (as Maou (魔王)).

Secondly, the band will reveal a new music video for the song "影葬 (Eisou)" on Saturday, August 8th.

Lastly, on the same day, the band will release a new mini-album on streaming services: "堕影惨重葬". There aren't more details beyond that, and I apologize for not knowing how to romanize that properly.

Less "news" and more a "cool discovery": it was recently uncovered in the vkgy discord that Kisaki's super early band, SHËY≠DË actually went by a different name when they formed: Lusicious!

This discovery was made by someone sharing clippings from the Vol. 7 of Vicious magazine from 1994. It's unclear when they changed their name, but it seemed to happen pretty quickly after forming.

Legendary visual-kei band Kagerou are now available for streaming. Surprisingly, even material as early as "biological slicer" is available (many times, early works don't make the cut, depending on who owns the rights to them).

#update apparently I can't edit posts either, but I'm able to start new threads by right-clicking the button and opening it in a new tab.

Hey, I can't create new threads in the news section (unsure if that's the case everywhere). Clicking "new topic" doesn't open the interface to create a new thread, but I believe I can still edit existing posts.

Kuroyume (黒夢) will be releasing two self-cover albums this summer, bringing new takes on their two final albums of their first period of activity: Corkscrew and Drug TReatment.

Ah, apparently MagamagaSHIZUKE is Cazqui from NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST

It was recently announced on Twitter that yukigesyo_ has formed. The two-man unit features vocalist and violinist HIKARITO (ex-AIOLIN, AURORIZE), and guitarist + manipulator MagamagaSHIZUKE (禍禍シズク).

Their 0th oneman show Byakuya (白夜) will be held on July 18th at Roppongi GT LIVE TOKYO.

The two have released demo music before as "弓代星空 × 禍禍シズク", but it is unclear if the music created as that group will be repurposed for this band currently.
