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!
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.
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
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 :)
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!
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 )

Hidaritsuu=Cast-P
and his brand deviant power metal. Well, this time deviant enough to be
considered not safe for work. We should thank blame the artist, Yagi-san, for
it. Otherwise, the music is not that big of an issue unless your colleagues
understand Japanese. Speaking of music, Hidaritsuu is fantastic, as always! The
bass guitar must be wielded by Ultraman himself! ;)
Now moving
to more serious matters. Not exactly grave matters as the title may suggest –
those frigging emos like to exaggerate everything, but still it’s a piece from
Okame-P, and the guy knows his business. This time Okame-P tries to drown you
in a flurry of synths, with strange sound effects adding to the experience. The
song was written somewhat earlier and was considered for the producer’s second
album ‘Lamento’. The reasons why it was dropped remain unclear, but the song
would fit the overall sound of ‘Lamento’ as perfectly as it could ever be.
A new piece
from TOSHI-san. Very aggressive and fast-paced sound set up with top quality
mix. Somewhat psycho keyboard shrills add quite an unusual taste together with
somewhat psycho Luka. Not very ‘friendly’ but definitely novel tune.
Okame-P-sama.
Blows Up. Your. Mind. For those who still have their mental abilities (relatively)
intact while listening to this picoreamo porn, try to count the number of
different music genres crammed into this one song :)
Miku seems
to be unmoving (and yes, she’s awesome). Well, she’s android; that explains
everything… :)
This,
gentlemen, is definitely the weirdest audiovisual experience I’ve encountered
in a while. Mere words cannot stand up to this psychedelic inferno. Proceed
with caution.
A dose of
wild and ferocious djent from Rusan Maruchino. The sound is heavily infused
with electronics, cool job. Finally, finally Gumi’s lyrics are of the darkest
shade of angst! ;)
An update
from Chariot The Tuneful circle, their first in 2016. The guys behind the circle
are knot (music) and Meiden (lyrics and visuals). To say the guys are awesome
is to say nothing; their previous tracks are among the sickest and boldest the
scene ever created!
For now
Chariot The Tuneful takes it down a notch. ‘Light and Shadow’ doesn’t dive into
the bottomless abyss of ever increasing brutality. Still it boasts exceptional
sound with roaring guitars and fast tempo. Chariot’s songs have that subtle
(and sometimes not so) feel of madness, and ‘Light and Shadow’ develops it in
its own way. Now Gumi takes some part in it too and she does it excellently!
