Why, who’d
sing a parody better than a ragtag band of Vipperloids? Teto laments about the immense
grievances she experienced in our crooked world… somehow connected to several
myths surrounding the benefits of Vitamin C… Well, as if it matters! :) Solid and
powerful heavy metal is surprising though, you rarely encounter such a sound
even in more serious works nowadays… Perhaps that’s what makes a parody a good
parody!
Twins
attack! The two songs released by NexDart are far from being twin-like
identical but both are awesome in their own kind. ‘Frienemy’, sung by Rin, is a
jaunty nasty yet somehow enticing piece. ‘Wreath’, sung by Len, is quite a serious,
lyrical and deep thing. Why, a smart trick to please every crowd :)
NexDart has
made another take on his song ‘Coward’, this time employing V flower as vocalist
(initially it was Len). I think flower’s version has more character, so try it
out!
Listening
to Maiko’s vocals synthesized by SHEBA (also known as Shiiba Eiji) is a
pure audio pleasure. Not to say instrumentals are bad – a heavy mix of
industrial and thrash metal. Guest guitar solo by Mr. Hot Cake also makes a
hit, swaying the sound more towards thrash. Excellent work!
The title
translates as ‘Blow up calmly!’ (yes, imperative).
Hidaritsuu=cast-P
has released another awesome song! Two major changes are evident. First, the
producer ditched power metal in favor of HR/HM sound. Second, and more
important: the lyrics will NOT embarrass everyone (knowing Japanese) around if
you turn the song loud. Unexpected, huh? :)
While I can’t
grasp how exactly that ‘electric fire’ thing works from a physics point of view,
the amount of energy here is definitely impressive. Miss Tsurumaki Maki is a VOICEROID
and thus cannot compete with more advanced software in terms of quality.
Nevertheless, her bright vocals are quite enjoyable here.
While the mood of this hard rock song isn’t exclusively melancholic, there are some certain somber notes around. Anyway, the visuals of ink dissolving in water may just set the right atmosphere… at least if you like to watch dissolving ink ;)
A frenzied
vocal cover of a frenzied song! Tomato-san revs up the clean parts while
Datsuraku-san handles screaming (his job is obviously easier :). I must mention
Utsu-P pitched the chorus quite high for an average human to sing :)
A debut
work by SUISO laboratories. ‘Oxygen’ is a blissful hard/j-rock song featuring
vivid GUMI’s vocals as well as a bit over the top instrumentals :) Enjoy!
A perfection in simplicity: the latest song from ensou is built so solid you won’t find a single flaw. The sound is absolutely delicious! The bass drums. Deliver. Punch. BOOM! ;) Guitars are not so punchy (why would they?) but they put their weight rather well too :) Top this with GUMI’s edgy voice and you get some pretty killer song!
Another
latest release featuring Megurine Luka – Nihil by shatehouu. This EP got 4
tracks. The style is mostly post-hardcore with some metalcore sound here and
there. Fast tempo and quite intense music coupled with lyrics full of angst
(suddenly! :) Luka sounds quite good here. Check it out!
