GALEYD,  a year after their hiatus, is officially calling it quits.  It's not much of a surprise, but heartbreaking nonetheless for their fans that have been patiently waiting.  They do plan to hold a final live in 2015, but the date and venue are not yet set.  We'll be sure to keep you posted.  Until then, you can find drummer, Nikky, rocking out with ALSDEAD, so go show him your support!

Review: REIGN - Kakusei

About the Band: Kakusei is the fourth of a promised five releases from Loud-kei band, REIGN. Born from the session band “Kajikuma” founded by ex-AND members Kaji and Ikuma, REIGN officially started activities November 9, 2013, using the image of a troop of mischievous demons to build upon themes of temptation, greed and death.

Hey, Do You Know: Zonbi?

So, I have for you a band that I have liked for a while now that I'm excited to talk about, they are called "Zonbi (ぞんび)"! They were formed in May 2013 and have 4 singles and 1 mini-album out now. Most of their singles have sold out and their mini-album's second press is also venue limited, so be sure to attend one of their lives to get it! I absolutely LOVE their theme and band intro music, it suits them VERY well. I would love to see their zombie march live. I really enjoy listening to Atom's voice, I can listen to him all day. Zonbi do have a sample of their mini album "infection rundesu" on their YouTube so be sure to check it out!

Review: ALSDEAD - IDEA

About the Band: ALSDEAD is an alternative-metal band from Tokyo known for a heavy, melodic sound founded in 2008 by DICE AND JOKER members Maki (v), Shin (g) and Setsua (d) and joined by bassist Reito. Reito departed in August 2011 and was replaced by the young and talented Yosuke and the four would power through the VK scene until the recent and heartbreaking departure of Setsua in January of 2014. Former GALEYD drummer, Nikky, joined the ranks in May, giving us the ALSDEAD we have today. IDEA is their third full-length album.
