Withering and Marrow were their worst stuff.
Uroboros is one hell of a come back to form album.

Uroboros is fantastic but I still like DSS better.
Why, because they've constantly changed? No, they've never made a bad album, in fact I'd personally say they're all fantastic, some are just fanastic-er.

Marrow is by far their most underrated album.

youtube.com/watch?v=EFNVgI76sJY

DeG jumped the shark after Vulgar, and that's being charitable. deathcore/tech wank influence was a mistake.

Uroboros is basically Macabre pt. II.
They never made an album as colorful and sexy as Gauze again though.

They were with Kenjirou Murai at that time, he's one of the best Japanese bassists.

Yea Forums are such contrarians, I could have made a thread with Gauze as the OP and you guys would be saying how gay vkei is and how Dir en grey has only been good as a metal band, but since I started with alt/prog metal Dir you're singing praises of their vkei era.
You've gotta realize that it's always been the same band with the same soul. The Insulated World hits the same sweet spot for me that Gauze does, they've literally always been good and only gotten better.

He's great. Kenjirou played with Klein Kaiser for a while in 1999 too.

I wouldn't mind hearing more 90s (after it was just 80s style speed metal in drag, but before the nu-metal influence crept in) vk with an edgy metal angle.

See if you like this too, the programmed drums sound bad imo but the songwriting is nice.

Misa really is great, probably my favorite songwriter in VK at least and one of my favorites in general. I own almost all his discography, nice to see a fellow fan.
And yeah Kenjiro played with Klein Kaiser at first, as a support member.

What a ridiculous statement. You could be more wrong than you are, but not by a huge margin.

Awesome solo. Sounds like something Flea would write, if he had an actual decent band backing him up

I wouldn't say he's too wrong, especially with the state of rock in the west.

Well "rock" is a vague enough term that any statement about "the state of rock in the west" is vacuous. Different scenes in rock are waxing and waning. For example, there are plenty of amazing black and death metal bands out there right now. And basically none of them come from Japan.

To me, Japan excels where melody is concerned at the moment, so it doesn't come as a surprise that most death and black metal are a bit sidelined for now

cringe

But there's a ton of extremely melodic black and death metal...

Point taken. Still, though, it's not the same thing as the usual melodic heavy metal, power metal, etc.

See if I care, faggot

Maybe OP's statement is a hyperbole just to get attention with a sort of hot take, but Japan's rock scene is definitely up there for me.

It's to get people to pay attention to these threads that usually flop, and also a jab at the extreme success of Kpop threads.
>basically none of them come from Japan.
Completely wrong, I actually find a lot of Japanese extreme metal bands to be more unique than the sea of cookie cutter Western bandcamp bands. That being said, the West does coreshit a lot better than Japan currently.

Anyway, if you don't like Jap crap, you should just not bother with this thread. Thanks.

>and also a jab at the extreme success of Kpop threads.
Those never seem genuine to me. They never or rarely talk about the music or releases, just pics and webms, and weird short comments only them understand. The amount of posts per minute also seem kinda weird, almost as if they were bots.

Beside the hard working culture it was great indeed!

>She is my wife now
Daaamn, that makes me happy to hear. I thought this was gonna be a sad story.
>hard working culture
That's what I've heard it's like. Maybe I'd survive though, I'm in that kind of lifestyle here anyway.

>Maybe I'd survive though
I bet. Work is tough but everything else is so easy and comfortable in Japan. Service is big.

Not to get too personal or off topic, but I'm going to be studying there for a month this year, and I'm going to try to go for a week once a year from now on.
I'm planning to see as many concerts I can, but I'm a little worried about obtaining tickets. I either have to buy them at the door or use a proxy buyer, because I'm fairly certain you have to have a Japanese address to use plus (Japanese ticketing servics).
Do you have experience with that sort of thing?

>I never got to see Kinniku shoujo tai but several Kenji Otsuki and Tokusatso shows.
Neat. Probably kinniku wasn't active those years. They're back now and they put out 2 amazing albums recently. Tokusatsu was on pause but they're also having some live shows on august too.
Do you have any funny stories or anything from those shows?

Once in Japan you can buy concert tickets in any konbini at that red loppi machine. No need to enter any adress.
But the easiest would be to make some friends there who can buy you the tickets.

Cool, thanks for the news. Gonna check their new stuff now.
Kenji is funny. His solo concerts are 50% talking and 50% music. Most of what he talked I couldn't understand and I forgot a lot. I remember he talked about how the train stopped because of an earthquake and he couldn't catch the last train home.

We also went to the concert of the 2nd guy from right (cotd). When I asked him to sign my CD he told me to come backstage. Free drinks + food (pic related)

Their latest album and Arche are massive disappointments. I haven't stopped listening to those albums but every time I do I get impatient and just want them to end. Diru has a solid discography in my opinion but those two are straight up duds my man. Even the song you posted sounds so stale.

I can, but he still can't or won't. He doesn't.

No, not plastic surgery. The cheekbone thing is because of age. If you wanna see plastic surgery look at Gackt, and MiA from Mejibray.

yeah same here, which was the last l'arc album?
Dune is GOAT but let's not forget Tierra either.

Butterfly was the last album and definitely, White Feathers is up there as one of my favorite songs of theres, along with Flower and Cureless

Lamiel, one of the best nagoya bands

Do you guys think Hyde as ever made a bad song?

I think everything he's made could be put on a scale of decent to perfect. His newest album has a lot of songs that are decent but forgettable pop songs. But it also has Zipang, which I would call a perfect song.

my fucking nigger, OP

DIR EN GREY is my fav band

I didn't like his solo stuff. I remember the very first solo album he put out was a snoozefest.
Tetsu is the genius songwriter behind L'Arc.

This fucking BOPS

Yeah, his solo stuff is hit or miss, for me its mostly miss though. Theres a couple of good songs, like now I actually like Mad Qualia for what it was
I just wish this made it to an album

Indies L'Arc was the best for sure.
The good thing about Dune and Tierra is that it was basically a continuation of that, afterwards they still released some really good stuff but I feel at some point they stagnated a bit, and went for a very pop, mainstream sound. Gone was the gothy/melodic post-punk stuff from earlier days.
Ironically Hyde is still at the whole "waaa I'm a vampire" thing but it's not the kind of goth I expect from him.
Sakura being with aie from deadman and the other guys is cool as fuck though, I'm glad he's back. He was recently with Malice Mizer in their reunion too (he was Kami's mentor).
youtube.com/watch?v=pu4tWBCExYk

They're my favorite band too. What are you favorite songs of theirs? Mine are Juuyoku, Karasu, and Embryo, at least currently.
I guess we just have different tastes, then. He wrote amazing songs like Shallow Sleep and Evergreen.

>Evergreen.
Precisely that's one of the songs I remember boring me to death.
The guy is a good singer and charismatic frontman, but yeah I prefer him singing for Tetsu.

I mean, this is basically the original, but played with the band that Ono is in now. If you don't know Galneryus, first of all, how? And second of all, check out their stuff, if you haven't done that yet. Start with Resurrection, or Angel of Salvation

I know Galneryus, I like them a lot, I just thought that song was originally by another band. I never bothered to find out who they are, are they related to Galneryus?

used to listen to loads of j-rock and visual kei as a teen, went back and listened to withering to death and man, idk how to feel about it now. obviously I got nostalgia, but not sure I'd call it a great album lol

I've always thought that japanese music was interesting, it's like they take the best ideas from the western world and totally make it their own. and there's always some kind of extreme. see j-pop, there's shit like kyary pamyu pamyu and then there's shit like iosys. or with electronic music, there's shit like capsule then there's shit like kobaryo. I don't think western music experiences musical bipolar disorder like japan does.

fuck this got me

Well yeah I think Withering is one of Deg's weaker albums.

it used to be my shit back in '06 lol
I've also mostly grown out of rock, I listen to loads of j-core tho. seems like dum spiro spero is a pretty liked album, worth listening to?

Please don't reply to them, Yea Forums doesn't have moderation so that's all we can do.
I'd personally welcome high quality J-pop, especially if its performed with instruments (aka not idol). There is no J-pop discussion on this board so the good stuff of it probably belongs here.
Withering took the alternative metal scene of it's time and made it artistic rather than just edgy for the sake of fun. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it does it for me.
Whoa, me too. I haven't found anyone else who does it as well as they did though, with their atmospheric and bizarre yet beautiful production, great sense of melody, and layered noise.

They cited their influences as Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, and Skinny Puppy. I find Marilyn Manson to be boring and the other two to be excellent.

I need to check the CD insert to see if Ryonai himself wrote and produced all the songs. The story of Blam Honey really is tragic, though, with Tatsuya dying and Ryonai having severe health problems and falling off the face of the Earth. I hope he's out there somewhere doing okay.

Sorry for the long ramble, I just fucking love Blam Honey.

On the gothic side you have Schwarz Stein, Seileen, GPKism, and the best one which is Velvet Eden.

I actually don't know that many traditional industrial acts from Japan. There's Hijokaidan if you want something like Throbbing Gristle. I actually quite like Hijokaidan's collab with alt idol group BiS, know as BiSKaidan.

Do you like Soft Ballet?

I haven't listened to them before, but so far they're reminding me of Velvet Eden and Buck-Tick, so great recc!

They collaborated with Buck-Tick as Schaft. Schwein is Buck-Tick with Raymond Watts (Pig).

Der Eisenrost and Zeitlich Vergelter are probably prime examples, although they didn't release a lot of stuff. They were bands led by Chu Ishikawa, the guy who did the legendary Tetsuo: The Iron Man OST (which is also an industrial essential).
I didn't know about BiSKaidan, but Hijokaidan also worked with Jun Togawa, good stuff.

Nice pick.
I count 12 original songs, although some like Death Picnic or Pietoro no fuusen have 2 or more versions.
They have the mini-album, the 2 demo tapes and the book+single. Which ones have you got? Luckily they're not too hard to come by used, except maybe for the Sankaku no tsuki demo.

I just realized who I thought sounded too much like Dir en grey. It wasn't D'espairsRay, it was Rentrer en Soi. But it turns own RoS was mentored by Kyo. I'll give both bands another try.

ReS was actually mentored/produced by Yukari from Baiser. I think ReS changed their sound later on, but their first album is very frilly melodic VK like Baiser. I never liked the vocalist though.
But yeah I think they got along with Kyo afterwards, afterall the ReS members are with Kyo now on sukekiyo.
Many bands sound like DEG anyway. I think DéspairsRay has definitely a DEG-influenced sound, same with other bands like Kagerou, Sadie, Merry. Not that influence is a bad thing but sometimes it can get unoriginal and boring.
Most visual bands wanted to be DEG, but DEG also started wanting to be someone else: Kuroyume, who were also copied by most VK bands in the mid 90s.

Attached: kuroyume5lg2.jpg (327x400, 46K)

I was just referencing that I learned that Kyo and Daisuke (Kagerou) were apparently vocal coaches for ReS's vocalist. I honestly don't know which band I thought sounded too close to Dir en grey, and honestly it doesn't matter, whoever they are, they're better than me. And yeah, they're in sukekiyo, I forgot that was them.
Sadie is pretty close to just wanting to be Dir en grey, but I think they're pretty good. Kagerou was a bit like that too, but unique enough that I'd consider them legendary. Merry I personally find to be completely unique and I hear their influence in a lot of my favorite newer bands like the Gallo, Sibilebashir, and Marco.
