No, this track
seems to be unrelated to ‘Sleeping beauty’ made by 164 back in goode olde
2008 which was somewhat popular at the moment. The producer of today’s song,
lovin-san, labels his piece 'dark fantasy hard rock’. While I wholeheartedly agree
with ‘hard rock’ part, and maybe even with ‘fantasy’, I can’t feel any specific
‘darkness’ in it :) Anyway, the song has decent production compared with the
majority of Vocaloid hard rock works.
Satanistka
has made another cool, if short MMD metal video. This time it’s a cover of the
song ‘Numb’ by Linkin Park (btw I was shocked the band’s still active ;) The
cover (by Alex Terrible) employs a tad more brutal vocals; unfortunately, the
recording quality is subpar :(
Starring in
the video is a custom MMD model named (obviously just 4 lulz) Satan Kuzya 666.
So far for each new video Satanistka makes a new model; the concept of
recycling isn’t that popular here in Russia :) New version of Kuzya excels at
being the opposite of TDA’s Miku it’s derived from. New Kuzya is so burly and
beefy she can kick ass in quite a literal sense :)

Just look
at those spiky hair thingies! So kawaii!!! (^ᴗ^)
A stylish
nu metal piece with excellent mix and lovely Rin vocals by NexDart. For those
who prefer Len over Rin there’s version with him singing on Piapro.
Unfortunately,
Kasane Teto isn’t a frequent guest here on VMW. So the fact she majestically
grants us a second good song in a row is kinda special event :) Surprisingly, a combination of Teto and alternative metal
is not as cute as with heavy metal, but too much cuteness is ill for the mental
health of a metalhead ;) Besides, ‘doppel’ has solid blues vibes which is not a
common feature of the scene. It also boasts such an awesome bass drum punch I
still refuse to believe it can exist! Really, guys, just how many oddities are
there in one tune? :)
A
combination of Teto and heavy metal turns out to be insanely cute. Mostly
because of Teto as you may wonder :) Still when I hear Teto singing the words ‘hallowed
be thy name’ I can’t help but grin widely :)
Not a long
time since Okame-P has released the song ‘If you were here’, and UST is already
here indeed, courtesy of Metall Waves. There’s also a demo with UTAU Metarune
Yoru as a singer. I’d stay with Miku though, unless you’re a huge fan of UTAU
sound :)
A beautiful
arrange from Emi Ele (lyrics by Clear). Heavy metal base with some prog
aspirations as well as definite J-flavour all over it. Despite Emi Ele isn’t completely
satisfied with Miku’s vocals, I find them pretty decent, clear, strong and,
well, charming. That high pitch is irresistible! :)
While the new
song from Vocaloid post-hardcore guru Okame-P may be slightly inferior to‘Reminiscence’
in the vocals field, it manages to beat the late Shichiya’s track in energy
content and definitely overwhelms it in terms of emo. It’s fucking emo Godzilla,
no less! Besides, since when have we started to care about the quality of
Vocaloid singing? ;)
Nice and
energetic emo piece by Shichiya-san. Miku’s vocals deserve special mention:
they show remarkable upgrade compared with previous producer’s works and sound
unbelievably good!
This piece
of mid-1970s hard rock may not fit VMW standards in terms of sound heaviness
but it more than compensates it in another important area. Namely, awesomeness.
‘Yoi-Yoi’ is literally overloaded with awesomeness in every its moment! And we
should thank the virtuous vocalist for the great part of it. Ninihi-sama truly
makes wonder with the power of Miku’s ‘Yoi-Yoi’! :)
A beautiful
(as always) mellow post-hardcore arrange from Yokomin with beautiful (as always)
Yukari’s vocals. What’s new (at least for me) is Yokomin himself singing along
with Yukari too. Why, the guy has great voice :) I could even say Yukari and
Yokomin-san match together so well! (insert some sweet emoji here)
Last but
not the least, today’s Yokomin 22th birthday! VMW wishes the producer lots of
joy, even more energy and for all even wildest his dreams to come true! We
believe in you, man! :)
A debut
work of “A Range of Style” project lands somewhere between post-hardcore and
heavy metal and feels good enough. Moreover, there’s MetaLuka – a failproof
choice! :) Great start, guys, congratulations!
If you
prefer more melodic varieties of heavy music, let’s turn to IA’s cousin, ONE.
Kiesca (aka Yandere-P) has released (after a year-long break) a nice symphonic
metal piece full of piano, guitar solos and similar stuff. Can’t say anything
bad about ONE’s vocals either. Though they belong to the other end of the
spectrum – instead of IA’s blood-curdling screams we have mellowness, gentleness
and cushiness. Whocoodanode – visually the girls seem to be almost the same :)
What is the
most appropriate way to express your precious frustrated feelings about
insomnia robbing you of your righteous sleep? Deathcore, naturally! While the
new song by Uhen-san may not be on par with top mainstream products of the
genre, it definitely strikes the right note in one thing. Vocals. Fascinating
job! No, really, it’s been awhile since I’ve heard extreme vocals made so
impressive. Definitely waiting for more (and ‘more’ means also some fifty times
in depth of lyrics :p )
