NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST // Nail in the coffin: Burn it down until the end

雪 (Yuki) April 13, 2025 No Comments
A year and a half after the release of the single “Kingdom”, NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST return with the release of the digital single “Nail in the coffin” on April 4th 2025. But, is the new song really a nail in the coffin for the group, or is the name just a great target for this joke?

To find a definitive answer to that question, 雪 (Yuki) took a deep dive into the song and after some thorough research she came up with the answer for you in this review!

TRNTY D:CODE // [HELL]hound.: Tame him before daylight

雪 (Yuki) April 6, 2025 No Comments
Despite coming out in November of 2018, TRNTY D:CODE’s second single “[HELL]hound.” contained an interesting mix of ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) and metalcore, ticking boxes for both genres left and right for the currently inactive group.

With this review 雪 (Yuki) hopes to bring an older release back to the surface, while looking at the interesting mix of both genres at the same time.

Z CLEAR // 広島 (Hiroshima): I’ll just be myself

雪 (Yuki) March 2, 2025 No Comments
“広島” (Hiroshima) is already the 11th single for Z CLEAR, but why are we jumping into their work with this single in particular? This single not only contains a wonderful message, it also looks like a unique moment in time for the band themselves.

Originating from 広島 (Hiroshima), the tile of the single alone is a bit of a hint of what’s to come already. 雪 (Yuki) did a deep dive into the single and is more than happy to tell you all about it!

クルエラ (Cruella) // レミゼラブル (Remizeraburu): Collecting the scattered fragments of memories

雪 (Yuki) February 23, 2025 No Comments
“レミゼラブル” (Remizeraburu) is the very first single of クルエラ (Cruella), a band that’s emerged out of the temporary project 悪役〈C〉 (Akuyaku C) in September of 2024. The group released this first single about two months later, in which they combine the madness of the メンヘラ系 (Menhera Kei) style lyrics with a circus to create the three tracks we hear on this single.
雪 (Yuki) took a deep dive into the single to find out more about it, and she’s more than happy to share the results with you today!

蛾と蝶 (Ga to Chou) // アゲハ (Ageha): Follow the rhythm

雪 (Yuki) February 2, 2025 No Comments
“アゲハ” (Ageha) is the very first single of 蛾と蝶 (Ga to Chou), a band with a rather interesting lineup considering the members were formerly seen in projects like Ashmaze., Lycaon, R指定 (R-Shitei) and 己龍 (Kiryu). While the group only officially started their activities on December 24 of 2024, the first single is already there for us to listen to.

雪 (Yuki) did a deep dive into their very first release, and is more than happy to tell you more about this unique project.

ゼラ (Zera) // MISSA: Claw marks engraved on the vast earth

雪 (Yuki) January 5, 2025 No Comments
Following the super theatrical single “Octavius”, ゼラ (Zera)’s 11th single “MISSA” has quite some shoes to fill. This time the single is not inspired by a legend, but does have a theme that is quite relevant in this day and age.

Will “MISSA” live up to the bar that “Octavius” set before it? 雪 (Yuki) couldn’t wait to dive into this single and tell you all about it!

RAZOR // エアレンデル (Earendel): See you here again

雪 (Yuki) December 29, 2024 No Comments
“エアレンデル” (Earendel) is the 13th single in RAZOR’s ever-growing discography, released in October of 2023 and following the “SAMURAIソードMAN” single. At the end of our previous review in this series we already mentioned that the single that followed had a completely different style than the release we were discussing.

More than enough reason for 雪 (Yuki) to dive into “エアレンデル”(Earendel) as well, isn’t it? Because what exactly is different compared to “SAMURAIソードMAN”? Grab your beverage of choice, and let’s jump right into this release!

雪 (Yuki) November 3, 2024 No Comments
"Octavius" is the 10th single in ゼラ (Zera)’s discography so far. Released in February of 2024, the three songs on the single are inspired by the legend of the ship of ice, mixing horror and ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) in a unique way with this concept.

In this review 雪 (Yuki) tells you all about the single as well as the legend that inspired it, so get your beverage of choice and let's dive right in!

RAZOR // Broken Society: SAMURAIソードMAN

雪 (Yuki) October 6, 2024 No Comments
“SAMURAIソードMAN” (Samurai Sword Man) is the 12th single in RAZOR’s ever-growing discography. Despite being released in June of 2023 the single touches on an interesting concept that might have been overshadowed entirely by how upbeat and flashy the title track and its music video are.

This review was intended to be written and published much closer to the release date of the single last year, but due to circumstances it kept getting pushed back. The single never left 雪 (Yuki)’s mind (or her playlist) however, so she’s finally talking about it in this review!

葉月 (HAZUKI) // 蓮華鏡 (Rengekyou): Putting my overlowing tears into a song

雪 (Yuki) March 22, 2023 No Comments

While 葉月 (HAZUKI) is mostly known for the darker style that borders between rock and metal with lynch., his solo works take a completely different approach with a symphonic style. And 葉月 (HAZUKI) wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t take some of the theatrical performance he displays in lynch. with him in

雪 (Yuki) September 1, 2020 No Comments

The release of DEVILOOF’s newest single was already announced in January of 2020, with the release date itself being set for March 11. But the release was eventually delayed indefinitely. To the great surprise (and delight) of fans we didn’t have to wait for the single to be released anyway,
