The Weekly Quickie: BIOSPHIA, ViViD, CELL, Vent Croix, Minori, Tokami

 I hate to say it, but I've got a whole bunch of bad news for you this week.  To start things off, the disbandment of BIOSPHIA.  The band released a brief statement on Tuesday announcing that they will disband following their one-man live on April 2 at Osaka MUSE.  No official member comments as of yet, just a few apologetic and very disappointed tweets.  Their latest single, Suicidal Diva, coincidentally released the same day as the announcement and there don't appear to be plans for any further releases.

The Weekly Quickie: Sophia-sama, Sukekiyo, Yousei Teikoku, Naniwa VKei Rengougun

As you may already know, ex-Bloodstain Child vocalist Sophia-sama's new project, Season of Ghosts, has just completed recording on their debut album, Human Paradox.  This album will feature a collaboration with Mejibray guitarist, MiA.  This isn't the first time the two have traded talents.  Sophia-sama lent her voice to the Mejibray track, Die Kusse, released February of last year. There's no release date as of yet, but trust me, we'll be keeping our eyes open for this one

Speaking of cool collaborations, guitarist Takaha of pop-metal group Yousei Teikoku will be remixing a song on super-band Sukekiyo's debut album, Immortalis.  Sukekiyo consists of Dir en grey's Kyo, 9GOATS BLACKOUT's Uta, Kannivalism's Yuchi and Rentrer en Soi's Takumi and Mika, which pretty much makes them my favorite project ever.
